*Call to Worship read responsively A Living Hope
Jonah Mitchell, Liturgist
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!
In His great mercy, He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
And into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil, or fade – kept in heaven for you,
You who, through faith, are shielded by God’s power
until the coming of the salvation that is ready to
be revealed in the last time.
Though you have not seen him,
You love him;
Even though you do not see him now,
You believe in him and are filled with an
inexpressible and glorious joy.
You are receiving the goal of your faith,
Gospel Lesson Luke 24:1-12
Message Jesus Walk: Easter
*Benediction read responsively
Go forth as God’s chosen witnesses, to proclaim all you have heard and seen and experienced.
We go forth in the name of the Risen Christ.
Go forth sustained by God’s steadfast love.
We go forth transformed and transforming.
Go forth with shouts of joy.
Christ is risen, indeed. based on John 20
