THE RESURRECTION OF OUR LORD

EASTER DAY

APRIL 5TH, 2015 + 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 Senior 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 just as God 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 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 opportunities for fellowship and spiritual growth throughout the year. 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 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.

Please do not hesitate to speak to an usher or any church member if you have any questions or need any assistance.

CHRIST OUR PASSOVER

Book of Common Prayer pg. 46 Music by: Will C. MacFarlane

Choir:

Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: therefore let us keep the feast Not with old leav’n, neither with the leav’n of malice and wickedness, But with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more: death hath no more dominion over Him. For in that He died, He died unto sin once: but in that He liveth, He liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed to sin: but alive in God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Christ is risen, is risen from the dead: and become the first fruits of them that slept.

For since by man came death: by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

For as in Adam all die: even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen.

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

Isaiah 25:6-9 ESV Pew Bible, page 586

6On

this mountain the LORD of hosts will make for all peoples a feast of rich food, a feast of wellaged wine, of rich food full of marrow, of aged wine well refined. 7And he will swallow up on this mountain the covering that is cast over all peoples, the veil that is spread over all nations. 8He will swallow up death forever; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from all faces, and the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for the LORD has spoken. 9It will be said on that day, “Behold, this is our God; we have waited for him, that he might save us. This is the LORD; we have waited for him; let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.”

The word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

SECOND LESSON

1 Corinthians 15:1-11 ESV Pew bible, page 961

1Now

I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, 2and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you— unless you believed in vain. 3For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, 5and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. 7Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. 8Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. 9For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. 11Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.

The word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

+ GOSPEL

Mark 16:1-8 ESV Pew bible, page 853 The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to St. Mark.

Glory to you, Lord Christ.

1When

the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him. 2And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. 3And they were saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?” 4And looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled back—it was very large. 5And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were alarmed. 6And he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here. See the place where they laid him. 7But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.” 8And they went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had seized them, and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

The Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you, Lord Christ.

NICENE CREED All:

Book of Common Prayer 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.

CONFESSION Celebrant:

Book of Common Prayer pg. 331

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us; but if we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Celebrant:

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. Amen.

Amen.
