Call To Worship-
Pastor: Why do you seek the living among the dead? Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful people, and be crucified, and on the third day rise." He is not here. He is risen!
All: HE IS RISEN INDEED!!
Entrance Hymn - Christ the Lord is Risen Today, Alleluia!
Greeting
Pastor: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

Prayer of the Day
Pastor: The Lord be with you.

Pastor: Let us pray.
God of mercy, we no longer look for Jesus among the dead, for he is alive and has become the Lord of life. Increase in our minds and hearts, the risen life we share with Christ, and help us to grow as your people toward the fullness of eternal life with you, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, who lives and reigns with you and Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
