Opening Prayer
(Psalm 118, John 20)
Living God, rejoicing in this day of resurrection, we have come to
celebrate the strength of your love—a love that triumphs even
over death. As we exult in the miracle of your incarnate love, we
thank you for the Opportunity to encounter the Risen Christ here
in our midst. Amen.
Gathering Words (John 20)
Liturgist: Women, why are you weeping?
Women: They have taken away the Lord.
Liturgist: Men, why are you weeping?
Men: They have taken away the Lord.
Liturgist: Kids, why are you weeping?
Children: They have taken away the Lord.
Liturgist: Christ has not been taken away!
Christ is risen! Christ is alive, here in our midst!
Everyone: We have seen the Lord! Alleluia!
Offering Prayer
(Psalm 118, John 20)
Thank you, God, for the gift of this amazing day of resurrection! Our hearts are overflowing with the joy and excitement of
Easter. We pray that you will take our exuberance and use it to
bring light and hope to those trapped in darkness and despair.
Use these gifts of money to empower our work with those who
have not yet seen the risen Lord in their midst. Use the gift of
our very lives to empower our calling to carry your Incarnate
Love into the world. We pray this with the boldness of those
who have encountered the living Christ. Amen.
