Hymn: TiS 362
1. Jesus Christ is risen today, alleluia! our triumphant holy day, alleluia! who so lately on the cross alleluia! suffered to redeem our loss, alleluia! 2. Hymns of praise then let us sing unto Christ, our heavenly king, who endured the cross and grave sinners to redeem and save. 3. But the pain that he endured our salvation has procured; now exalted he is king, and the angels ever sing: Anon., Lyra Davidica 1708 alt. based on a 14th-cent. ms. 3
Greeting:
The Lord be with you. AND ALSO WITH YOU.
(see Ruth 2:4)
Sentence: This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be
glad in it.
Luke 24.34; Psalm 118.24
Prayer of Preparation: As we gather as God's people let us pray together: Almighty God, to whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hidden: cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy name, through Christ our Lord. Amen. The Summary of the Commandments: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one; you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ Jesus said: ‘This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: you shall love your neighbour as yourself.’ Kyrie eleison
(Dudman)

The Confession Let us confess our sins in penitence and faith, confident in God's forgiveness. Merciful God, our maker and our judge, we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, and in what we have failed to do: we have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbours as ourselves; we repent, and are sorry for all our sins. Father, forgive us. Strengthen us to love and obey you in newness of life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Absolution
(Celebrant)
Almighty God, who has promised forgiveness to all who turn to him in faith: pardon you and set you free from all your sins, strengthen you in all goodness and keep you in eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Gloria

Prayer of the Day God of glory, fill your Church with the power that flows from Christ’s resurrection, that, in the midst of this sinful world, it may signal the beginning of a renewed humanity, raised to new life with Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD Readings from 'New Revised Standard Version' (NRSV) First Reading: Acts 10:34-43 34 Then Peter began to speak to them: "I truly understand that God shows no partiality, 35 but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him. 36 You know the message he sent to the people of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ--he is Lord of all. 37 That message spread throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John announced: 38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power; how he went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. 39 We are witnesses to all that he did both in Judea and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree; 40 but God raised him on the third day and allowed him to appear, 41 not to all the people but to us who were chosen by God as witnesses, and who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. 42 He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one ordained by God as judge of the living and the dead. 43 All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name." Response: Hear the word of the Lord, THANKS BE TO GOD 7
Psalm: 118:14-21 14
The Lord is my strength and my song: and has become my salvation. 15 The sounds of joy and deliverance: are in the tents of the righteous. 16 The right hand of the Lord does mighty things: the right hand of the Lord raises up. 17 I shall not die but live: and proclaim the works of the Lord. 18 The Lord has disciplined me hard: but he has not given me over to death. 19 Open me the gates of righteousness: and I will enter and give thanks to the Lord. 20 This is the gate of the Lord: the righteous shall enter it. 21 I will praise you, for you answered me: and have become my salvation. The Choir Sings "This Joyful Eastertide", Anon.; Lyrics by Woodward. Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 15:19-26 19If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied. 20But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. 22For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. 23But each in turn: Christ, the first fruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. 24Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. 25For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26The last enemy to be destroyed is death. Response:
Hear the word of the Lord, THANKS BE TO GOD 8

We stand for the reading of the Holy Gospel as a sign of respect as we greet our Lord who is present in His Holy Word. The Lord be with you AND ALSO WITH YOU The gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, according to Saint Luke chapter 24 beginning at the 1st verse. GLORY TO YOU, LORD JESUS CHRIST. 1On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 5In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, ‘Why do you look for the living among the dead? 6He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 7“The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.” ’ 8Then they remembered his words. 9When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. 10It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles. 11But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense. 12Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away, wondering to himself what had happened. Gospel Response: This is the gospel of the Lord, PRAISE TO YOU, LORD JESUS CHRIST.
ALLELUIA Sung by Choir & Congregation • SERMON

(copy of sermon available at back of church) 10
The Choir sings: “Rejoice O My Spirit�, J.S. Bach. The Nicene Creed Let us together affirm the faith of the Church. We believe in one God, the Father, the almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary and became truly human. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen. 11
THE PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE Let us pray for all people and for the Church throughout the world. Each petition of intercession or thanksgiving concludes with, Lord in your mercy, HEAR OUR PRAYER.

THE GREETING OF PEACE
(all stand)
{Celebrant} We are the body of Christ. The peace of the Lord be always with you.
His Spirit is with us. And also with you.
[A greeting of peace is exchanged with those around us]
Offertory Hymn: TiS 360 1. Light’s reddening dawn gleams through the sky; heav’n thunders forth its victory; alleluia, alleluia! the glad earth shouts her triumph high and groaning hell makes wild reply: alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia! 2. while our Lord Christ, the mighty king, despoiling death of all its sting and trampling down the powers of night brings forth his ransomed souls to light. 3. His tomb of late the threefold guard of watch and stone and seal had barred; but now in power and triumph high he comes from death to victory. 4. The pains of hell are loosed at last; the days of mourning now are past; an angel robed in light has said, ‘The Lord has risen from the dead!’ 5. From every weapon death can wield your own redeemed for ever shield: O Lord of all, with us abide in this our joyful Eastertide.

Final Hymn: TiS 380 1. Yours be the glory, risen, conquering Son, endless is the victory over death you’ve won; angels in bright raiment rolled the stone away, kept the folded grave-clothes, where your body lay. Yours be the glory, risen, conquering Son, endless is the victory over death you’ve won. 2. See, Jesus meets us, risen from the tomb; lovingly he greets us, scatters fear and gloom; let the church with gladness hymns of triumph sing, for the Lord is living, death has lost its sting. Refrain 3. No more we doubt you, glorious Prince of life; life is naught without you: aid us in our strife; make us more than conquerors through your deathless love; bring us safe through Jordan to your home above.
