Gathering Hymn…….…………Christ Is Alive…..…..……...#389
Christ is alive! Let Christians sing. The cross stands empty to the sky. Let streets and homes with praises ring. Love, drowned in death, shall never die.
Christ is alive! No longer bound to distant years in
Palestine, but saving, healing, here and now, and
touching ev’ry place and time.
In ev’ry insult, rift, and war, where color, scorn, or
wealth divide, Christ suffers still, yet loves the more,
and lives, where even hope has died.
Women and men, in age and youth, can feel the Spirit,
hear the call, and find the way, the life, the truth,
revealed in Jesus, freed for all.
Christ is alive, and comes to bring good news to this and
every age, till earth and sky and ocean ring with joy, with
justice, love, and praise.
Greeting and Prayer of the Day (Please rise as you are able) L: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. C: And also with you. L: Let us pray in unison the Prayer of the Day: C: Bountiful God, you gather your people in your realm, and you promise us food from your tree of life.
