*GOSPEL LESSON MARK 16:1-8
When the sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome
bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him. And very early on the first day of the week,
when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. They had been saying to one another, “Who will
roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?”When they looked up, they saw that
the stone, which was very large, had already been rolled back. As they entered the tomb, they
saw a young man, dressed in a white robe, sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed. But
he said to them, “Do not be alarmed; you are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified.
He has been raised; he is not here. Look, there is the place they laid him. But go, tell his disciples
and Peter that he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him, just as he told you.” So
they went out and fled from the tomb, for terror and amazement had seized them; and they said
nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

*INVOCATION
*AFFIRMATION OF FAITH NO. 888
(AFFIRMATION FROM I CORINTHIANS 15:1-6 AND COLOSSIANS 1:15-20)
Leader: This is the good news which we have received, in which we stand, and by which we are
saved:
People: Christ died for our sins, was buried, was raised on the third day, and appeared first to the
women, then to Peter and the Twelve, and then to many faithful witnesses. We believe Jesus is the
Christ, the Anointed One of God, the firstborn of all creation, the firstborn from the dead, in
whom all things hold together, in whom the fullness of God was pleased to dwell by the power of
the Spirit. Christ is the head of the body, the church, and by the blood of the cross reconciles all
things to God. Amen.
*GLORIA PATRI NO. 71
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost;
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen. Amen.
FIRST LESSON 1 CORINTHIANS 15:1-11
Now I would remind you, brothers and sisters, of the good news that I proclaimed to you, which
you in turn received, in which also you stand, through which also you are being saved, if you hold
firmly to the message that I proclaimed to you—unless you have come to believe in vain. For I
handed on to you as of first importance what I in turn had received: that Christ died for our sins in
accordance with the scriptures, and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day in
accordance with the scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he
appeared to more than five hundred brothers and sisters at one time, most of whom are still alive,
though some have died. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. Last of all, as to one
untimely born, he appeared also to me. For I am the least of the apostles, unfit to be called an
apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his
grace toward me has not been in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them—
though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. Whether then it was I or they, so we
proclaim and so you have come to believe.
CALL TO CONFESSION
PRAYER OF CONFESSION
O God of the Risen Lord, we praise you on this bright day for granting us new life in Christ. We
confess that we have not embraced you as the Lord of our lives. We have persisted to live
comfortably in sin. We have not trusted you to resurrect the dying relationships and fruitless
habits in our lives. We have clung to these dark places rather than hoping in your redeeming
power. Break now the power of our sin; give us the boldness in faith to trust you. We praise you as
the Living God who brings victory over sin and death in our lives and in this world. We pray these
things in the name of the Risen Christ. Amen.

Sounds of heaven in earth should ring.
Christ has brought us heaven’s choices;

Alleluia! Alleluia! Easter people, let us sing.
2. Fear of death can no more stop us
from our pressing here below.
For our Lord empowered us to
triumph over every foe.
Alleluia! Alleluia! On to victory now we go.
1. Sing with all the saints in glory,
sing the resurrection song!
Death and sorrow, earth’s dark story,
to the former days belong.
All around the clouds are breaking,
soon the storms of time shall cease;
in God’s likeness we, awaking,
know the everlasting peace.
2. O what glory, far exceeding
all that eye has yet perceived!
Holiest hearts, for ages pleading,
never that full joy conceived.
God has promised, Christ prepares it,
there on high our welcome waits.
Every humble spirit shares it;
Christ has passed th’eternal gates.
CHRIST THE LORD IS RISEN TODAY

Praise to thee by both be given, Alleluia!
Thee we greet triumphant now, Alleluia!
Hail the Resurrection, thou, Alleluia!

Everlasting life is this, Alleluia!
Thee to know, thy power to prove, Alleluia!
Thus to sing, and thus to love, Alleluia!
3. Every day to us is Easter, with its resurrection
song.
When in trouble move the faster to our God who
rights the wrong.
Alleluia! Alleluia! See the power of heavenly
throngs.
3. Life eternal! heaven rejoices;
Jesus lives, who once was dead.
Join we now the deathless voices;
child of God, lift up your head!
Patriarchs from the distant ages,
saints all longing for their heaven,
prophets, psalmists, seers, and sages,
all await the glory given.
4. Life eternal! O what wonders
crowd on faith; what joy unknown,
when, amidst earth’s closing thunders,
saints shall stand before the throne!
O to enter that bright portal,
see that glowing firmament;
know, with thee, O God Immortal,
“Jesus Christ whom thou has sent!”
