**CALL TO WORSHIP Leader: We come to this place seeking Jesus in the familiar story of our faith. People: Do not meet us only here, O Living Christ, but surprise us with Resurrection power in all the places of our lives! Leader: We gather together to sing and pray the story we know by heart, a story of loving triumph and powerful grace. People: This story of “Alleluia!” means great joy for the One who lives and the ones who witness to this new life in all the places of our lives! Leader: We rejoice and thank you for the life of your son, resurrected by the power of your loving, vibrant Spirit. People: Let this same Spirit fill all the places of our lives, that we may know the truth of resurrection for the rest of our lives! Leader: We join our hearts in song and sing “Alleluia! Gracious Jesus!” for Christ is living and so are we! People: Alleluia indeed!

**EASTER PROCESSIONAL 232 ................................................... “Jesus Christ Is Risen Today”

**PRAYER OF ADORATION PRAYER OF CONFESSION..............................................................................................………(in unison)

God, we confess to you that while we know well the story of your victory over the grave, it is not a story we always live. We are dragged down by all manner of death – Fear may suffocate us: the loss of dreams and hopes for ourselves, our families, our communities and our nation. Sorrow may wall us off like a grave, isolating us with anger, frustration, and grief. So on this Easter morning, we pray that you will fill us with “fear and great joy” so that, like those women who came to the tomb expecting death, we may instead find the radiant new life that is ever before us in your Resurrection! Amen.

(Moments for personal confession)

KYRIE ................................................................................................................................................. 551 Lord, have mercy; Christ, have mercy; Lord, have mercy upon us. Lord, have mercy; Christ, have mercy; Lord, have mercy upon us.

ASSURANCE OF PARDON Leader: Just as Christ did… All is made new on this Resurrection morning! People: Alleluia and amen!

- ABOUT TODAY’S MUSIC -

Prelude: Two trumpet tunes frame this morning’s prelude music. Little is known about 18th-century composer William Goodwin. His piece and that of John Stanley (1712-1786) feature dialogue and echoes between the trumpet and organ. J.S. Bach’s vivacious Toccata is a testament to his prowess as both performer and composer (1685-1750). The opening section consists of a canon between the hands (one hand copies the other at a two-measure interval) over a pedal point (long-held tone), followed by an extended pedal solo. This material is then repeated in a new key, but with the hands reversed. A second pedal solo leads to a lengthy discourse between manuals and pedals with block chords, broken chords, sequences, chromatic harmony, and almost constant imitation between voices. Mounting tension finally gives way in the final section, where another extended pedal point brings symmetry to the work and anticipates its dramatic conclusion. A devout Protestant Christian, Bach routinely wrote “S.D.G.” on his manuscripts: “Soli Deo Gloria” (“To God Alone Be Glory”). Anthem: This is the first of twelve movements that comprise the famous Gloria by Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741). Though best known for his hundreds of instrumental concertos, Vivaldi also wrote much sacred choral music. Offertory: This virtuosic soprano aria is the second movement in Bach’s cantata “God So Loved the World.” Communion anthem: This beautiful and exciting piece is subtitled “Easter Song of Little Russia.” The composer paints a descriptive text quite vividly through dynamic contrasts and the use of portemento, a smooth glide from one tone to the next. Postlude: Charles-Marie Widor (1844-1937) was a world-renowned organ virtuoso and titular organist of St.-Sulpice in Paris for 65 years. He concertized extensively, including tours to the U.S., and was professor of organ at the Paris Conservatory (succeeding Cesar Franck), and later professor of composition (succeeding Dubois). He wrote many organ works, including ten “symphonies” for organ—works that use the organ in an orchestral manner and are in multi-movement, symphonic form. This famous Toccata, easily his best-known work, is the final movement from his fifth organ symphony.

“How Presbyterians Do Things”

specifically how do we search for and select pastors

Sunday, April 27 - 9:45 a.m. in Fellowship Hall

Rev. Deb Meinke, Cimarron Presbytery Stated Clerk, will lead this class which should answer your questions on what, how and when do Presbyterians seek and find new pastoral leadership. If you wonder why it takes us so long, come and find out how we “decently and in order” do things.
