Easter sunday 2016 final final

THE RESURRECTION OF OUR LORD

EASTER DAY

MARCH 27TH, 2016 + 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 7:45am (traditional, no music), 9:00am (contemporary), and 11:00am (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 put it 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 65:17-25 ESV Pew Bible, page 624

[17] “For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth, and the former things shall not be remembered or come into mind. [18] But be glad and rejoice forever in that which I create; for behold, I create Jerusalem to be a joy, and her people to be a gladness. [19] I will rejoice in Jerusalem and be glad in my people; no more shall be heard in it the sound of weeping and the cry of distress. [20] No more shall there be in it an infant who lives but a few days, or an old man who does not fill out his days, for the young man shall die a hundred years old, and the sinner a hundred years old shall be accursed. [21] They shall build houses and inhabit them; they shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit. [22] They shall not build and another inhabit; they shall not plant and another eat; for like the days of a tree shall the days of my people be, and my chosen shall long enjoy the work of their hands. [23] They shall not labor in vain or bear children for calamity, for they shall be the offspring of the blessed of the LORD, and their descendants with them. [24] Before they call I will answer; while they are yet speaking I will hear. [25] The wolf and the lamb shall graze together; the lion shall eat straw like the ox, and dust shall be the serpent's food. They shall not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain,” The word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God. 3

SECOND LESSON

1 Corinthians 15:19-26 ESV Pew bible, page 961

[19] If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied. [20] But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. [21] For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. [22] For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. [23] But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. [24] Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power. [25] For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. [26] The last enemy to be destroyed is death.

The word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

John 20:1-18 ESV Pew bible, page 906 The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to St. John.

Glory to you, Lord Christ.

[1] Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb. [2] So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.” [3] So Peter went out with the other disciple, and they were going toward the tomb. [4] Both of them were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. [5] And stooping to look in, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in. [6] Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb.

He saw the linen cloths lying there, [7] and the face cloth, which had been on Jesus' head, not lying with the linen cloths but folded up in a place by itself. [8] Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; [9] for as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead. [10] Then the disciples went back to their homes. [11] But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb. [12] And she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet. [13] They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.” [14] Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know that it was Jesus. [15] Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.” [16] Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means Teacher). [17] Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” [18] Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord”—and that he had said these things to her.

The Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you, Lord Christ.

SERMON

The Rev. Iain Boyd, Rector

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.

Keep safe Iain, Shelly and their family as they bring the good news of the Gospel to new heads, hearts and hands.

People: Lord, hear our prayer.

Reader: And to all thy people give thy heavenly grace, and especially to this congregation here present; that, with meek heart and due reverence, they may hear and receive thy holy Word, truly serving thee in holiness and righteousness all the days of their life; we pray especially for Dan & Sue Farley as he awaits his ordination.

People: Lord, hear our prayer.

Reader: Loving Father, you heard the voice of the Israelites in Egypt, and you saw their affliction and their toil and their oppression; so now hear the groans of your children as they suffer in Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Iran, Nigeria and throughout the world.

CONFESSION

Book of Common Prayer pg. 331

Celebrant:

Almighty God,

People:

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.

Celebrant: Almighty God, our heavenly Father, who of his great mercy hath promised forgiveness

of sins to all those with hearty repentance and true faith turn unto him, have mercy upon you, pardon and deliver you from all your sins, confirm and strengthen you in all goodness, and bring you to everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.
