CALL TO WORSHIP Diane Leveille
One Jesus Christ has risen!
Many JESUS CHRIST HAS REALLY RISEN!
One Jesus is alive beyond death, and God’s Son is doing great things!
Many FOR EVERY OLD, SORROWFUL ENDING, THERE IS A NEW,
JOYFUL BEGINNING!
One God’s love is real, God’s love is powerful, God’s love is unconditional,
and God’s love is available.
Many I AM LOVED, I AM TRULY BLESSED, I AM WORTH SAVING.
One Jesus Christ has risen!
Many JESUS CHRIST HAS REALLY RISEN!
One The old limits have been exceeded, the old boundaries have been
surpassed,
Many THE OLD PARADIGM HAS BEEN SHIFTED, AND THE OLD RULES
HAVE BEEN CHANGED.
One Jesus Christ has risen!
Many JESUS CHRIST HAS REALLY RISEN! AMEN.

A TIME OF SILENT PRAYER
As the pastor moves among the congregation, be encouraged
to express the joys or concerns that are on your heart today.
Then all respond by saying…
Joys: Praise God… Concerns: Lord, hear our prayer…
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 trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil;
For thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever, Amen.
