Easter Worship Resources

Call to Worship [responsive]:

 [one] Why are you here?

[many] We have come to see if what the women told the disciples is true.

[one] Do you mean what they said about the resurrection?

[many] Yes, we have heard that Christ is risen, and we believe that we’ve even caught glimpses of resurrection power in our own lives, but we’d like to see more.

(All) Let us open ourselves to the power and possibility of the promise of resurrection!

Prayer of Confession:

We confess, O resurrecting One,

that we have more experience with

the commercial celebration of Christmas

than we do with the evangelical celebration of Easter.

Here’s what we’re hoping today:

that you will open-up our hearts,

shore-up our faith,

and Easter-up our hope,

that resurrection’s light

might shine through our lives;

through Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.
