*HYMN IN PROCESSION Jesus Christ Is Risen Today EASTER HYMN
(see bulletin)
PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Almighty God, who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus Christ; we acknowledge
that we are unworthy of your redeeming grace. We have not believed your promises, nor
trusted in our living Lord. Through worldliness of spirit, our eyes have been closed to his
presence among us. Through disappointment of mind, our hearts have not burned within
us at the sound of his word. We have forgotten the glad tidings of his victory over death,
and not known the things that make for our peace. Forgive us, we pray, and restore unto
us the joy of your salvation, through him who is our Mediator and Advocate, even Jesus
Christ our Lord.
PROMISE OF THE GOSPEL
CHORAL RESPONSE Paul Fetler (b. 1920)
Christ the Lord is risen, alleluia!
PRAYER FOR ILLUMINATION
O Christ our Redeemer, you are the brightness of God’s glory and express image of
God’s person, whom death could not conquer, nor the tomb imprison; as you have shared
our mortal frailty in the flesh, help us to share your everlasting triumph in the
resurrection. Let no shadow of the grave make us fearful and no fear of death turn our
hearts from you. Reveal yourself to us as the first and the last, the Living One, our Savior
and our Lord. Amen.

The Lord is my strength and my song,
and he has become my salvation.
There is a sound of exultation and victory
in the tents of the righteous.
All Sing Antiphon
The right hand of the Lord has triumphed!
The right hand of the Lord is exalted!
I shall not die, but live,
and declare the works of the Lord.
All Sing Antiphon
The same stone which the builders rejected
has become the chief cornerstone.
This is the Lord’s doing,
and it is marvelous in our eyes.

PRAYERS

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be
done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our
debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

*AFFIRMATION OF FAITH Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth,
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born
of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he
descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven,
and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to
judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the
forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.
