Prelude Easter Morning Worship Service CELEBRATE AS WE GATHER *Praise Songs Glorious Day (Living He Loved Me) O Praise the Name *Call to Worship (based on 1 Peter 1:3 5) He is risen indeed. Alleluia! Praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. He has given us new life and hope. He has raised Jesus from the dead. God has claimed us as his own. He has brought us out of darkness. He has made us light to the world. Alleluia! Christ is risen! He is risen indeed. Alleluia! *Song Christ the Lord Is Risen Today # 388:1-4 *God s Greeting Revelation 1:4-5 *We Greet One Another CONFESSION AND ASSURANCE Call to Confession If, at times, we deny you: When the risks of discipleship are high, and we are nowhere to be found: When we wash our hands of responsibility: When we cast our lot with powerful oppressors and seek to buy freedom with silver:
When fear keeps us from witnessing to your truth, or prejudice keeps us from believing it: In the bright light of Easter morning, O God, our sin is exposed, and your grace is revealed. Tender God, raise us in your love so that, with joy, we may witness to your awesome deeds, in the name of Jesus, the risen one. Amen. Assurance of Pardon Concluded with: Thanks be to God!
