THE RESURRECTION OF OUR LORD

EASTER DAY

APRIL 20TH, 2014 + 11:00 A. M. TRINITY CHURCH, MYRTLE BEACH

Welcome to Trinity Church, Myrtle Beach A special welcome to those who are visiting; the addition of your praise and thanks to God heartens us all.

If you are seeking a church home, you are welcome here.

A Welcome from the Lead Pastor Alleluia! Christ is risen!

Thank you for choosing to worship at Trinity this Sunday as we celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus from the dead. This miraculous event has rippled throughout history and civilization for two thousand years. The Resurrection of Jesus has inspired the world’s greatest art, literature, and architecture. It has led those impacted by it to open hospitals, orphanages, homeless shelters, and schools out of a desire to reach out to the least and the lost. Not only has it changed the world, but it has been empowering individuals to seek change in their lives, not only leaving behind lives of addiction, brokenness, and immorality, but freeing them from self-righteousness, pride, and greed. At Trinity, it is our longing to see this great truth continue to transform individuals and the world. And it is our hope that you might “know Him and the power of His resurrection.”(Philippians 3:10) We hope that you experience something of the power of His resurrection in our worship this morning as we read scripture, sing, and break bread together. It is our hope that everyone who encounters Trinity will feel welcomed as we have been welcomed by a God who welcomes all regardless of who we are or what we’ve done. If you are interested in continuing to explore Trinity, please fill out one of the visitor’s cards placed in the back of the pew in front of you so that we can know how you would like to be welcomed.

There are many options for getting involved here. We have vibrant children’s and youth programs, a dedicated traditional choir, and we are developing a small group program where we can get to know one another on a more personal level. In addition to this we have various avenues for service where your time and talents can be put to good work. Our worship life is as varied as our congregation with services at 8:00 (traditional, no music), 9:00 (contemporary), and 11:00 (traditional with choir). Though the forms of the worship vary from service to service, the focus remains the same. We seek in all that we do to proclaim the glory of Jesus as he has been revealed in the Old and New Testaments and has been received by the Church.

Once again, we are happy to welcome you here to Trinity and hope that you not only enjoy our music and fellowship, but have a real encounter with the Living God.

In Him, Iain

If you are new to Trinity:

Please consider filling out a visitor card (found in the back of the pew) and putting into the offering plate during the service. Also feel free to visit the Welcome Table (directly across from the main door of the sanctuary) to let us know how we might get to know you better.

Restrooms are located directly across from the Nave just outside of Gravely Hall.

A Nursery is available for infants through age five.

About Our Worship: All of the lessons, prayers, and responses for this morning’s service are printed in this worship folder. For our hymns, we use the large red book in the pew rack.

+ COLLECT OF THE DAY Celebrant: People:

The Lord be with you And also with you.

Let us pray. O God, who for our redemption didst give thine only-begotten Son to the death of the cross, and by His glorious resurrection hast delivered us from the power of our enemy: Grant us so to die daily to sin, that we may evermore live with Him in the joy of His resurrection; through the same thy Son Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

Amen.

FIRST LESSON

Jeremiah 31:1-6

“At that time, declares the LORD, I will be the God of all the clans of Israel, and they shall be my people.” Thus says the LORD: “The people who survived the sword found grace in the wilderness; when Israel sought for rest, the LORD appeared to him from far away. I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you. Again I will build you, and you shall be built, O virgin Israel! Again you shall adorn yourself with tambourines and shall go forth in the dance of the merrymakers. Again you shall plant vineyards on the mountains of Samaria; the planters shall plant and shall enjoy the fruit. For there shall be a day when watchmen will call in the hill country of Ephraim: ‘Arise, and let us go up to Zion, to the LORD our God.’” The word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

SECOND LESSON

Colossians 3:1-4

If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

The word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God. 6

+ GOSPEL

Matthew 28:1-10 The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to St. Matthew.

Glory to you, Lord Christ.

Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. And for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men. But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. See, I have told you.” So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. And behold, Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.”

The Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you, Lord Christ.

NICENE CREED All:

BCP. PG. 327

I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible; And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of his Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father; by whom all things were made; who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; he suffered and was buried; and the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father; and he shall come again, with glory, to judge both the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.

And I believe in the Holy Ghost the Lord, and Giver of Life, who proceedeth from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified; who spake by the Prophets.

And I believe one holy Catholic and Apostolic Church.

I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins; and I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

At the conclusion of the Creed, Please KNEEL as you are able.

BCP. 331

Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, maker of all things, judge of all men: we acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickedness, which we from time to time most grievously have committed, by thought, word, and deed, against thy divine Majesty, provoking most justly thy wrath and indignation against us. We do earnestly repent, and are heartily sorry for these our misdoings; the remembrance of them is grievous unto us, the burden of them is intolerable. Have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us, most merciful Father; for thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, forgive us all that is past; and grant that we may ever hereafter serve and please thee in newness of life, to the honor and glory of thy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Trinity Sermon Series: “Peter’s Letter to the Early Church” We invite you back to our Sunday services throughout the Season of Easter at Trinity for a sermon series on the first book of Peter. Over the next six weeks, hear from the Disciple Peter, who was profoundly changed by the Resurrection.

“According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.”

-1 Peter 1:3-5

The mission of Trinity Church is to share the Gospel and to make Christ-centered disciples.
