Call to worship (Service Elder – Leanne Munro)

This is the good news—
the grave is empty;
Christ is risen.
Hallelujah!

This is the good news—
the light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness can never put it out.
Hallelujah!

This is the good news—
once we were no people;
now we are God’s people.
Hallelujah!

Christ is our peace,
the indestructible peace
we now share with each other.
Hallelujah!

We sing together: And can it be

We sing together: Hip hip hip hippopotamus

Notices (Service elder – Leanne)

Prayer (Donald)

We give you thanks, great God,
for the hope we have in Jesus,
who died but is risen and rules over all.
We praise you for his presence with us.
Because he lives, we look for eternal life,
knowing that nothing past, present, or yet to come
can separate us from your great love
made known in Jesus Christ, our Lord.

If, at times, we deny you, God forgive us.
When the risks of discipleship are high,
and we are nowhere to be found:
God forgive us.
When we wash our hands of responsibility:
God forgive us.
When we cast our lot with powerful oppressors
and seek to buy freedom with silver:
God forgive us.
When fear keeps us from witnessing to your truth,
or prejudice keeps us from believing it:
God forgive us.
In the bright light of Easter morning, O God,
our sin is exposed,
and your grace is revealed.
God forgive us.

When we were deadened by our wrongdoing,
God brings us to life,
forgiving our sins,
erasing the record of our wrongs.
God has forgiven us.
Amen.
