Dead to Sin, Alive to God (Easter Sunday)

ORDER OF SERVICE 
Prelude  
"Shall We Gather At the River" - Vicki Thompson & Ross Compton 

Call to Worship  One: God raised Jesus on the third day  
Many: Christ is risen! Alleluia!  One: Let us take our tambourines and dance,  
Many: Christ is risen! Alleluia!  One: With the risen one in our midst,  
Many: the graveyard becomes a garden; grief turns to gladness, tears to laughter. There is a new creation!  One: With the risen one in our midst,  
Many: life defeats death, love overcomes hatred, hope replaces fear.  One: This is the good news of the gospel!  
Many: Christ is risen! We are risen! Alleluia!  
Let us pray:  
Creator God,  
in raising Jesus from the dead,  
you have made the world brand new.  
We praise you with joy and thanksgiving!  
May we live daily as Easter people  
bringing life, love and hope to all the world;  
through Jesus Christ our risen Lord. Amen.
