Prelude P: Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia!! C: Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia!!
Gathering Hymn…………..Blessing and Honor……………#854
Blessing and honor and glory and pow'r, wisdom and
riches and strength evermore, be to the Lamb who our
battle has won, whose are the kingdom, the crown, and]
the throne; whose are the kingdom, the crown, and the
throne!
Let all the heavens sound forth Jesus' name; let all the
earth sing his glory and fame. Ocean and mountain,
stream, forest, and flow'r echo his praises and tell of his
pow'r; echo his praises and tell of his pow'r.
Ever ascending the song and the joy, ever descending
the love from on high; blessing and honor and glory and
praise-- this is the theme of the hymns that we raise;
this is the theme of the hymns that we raise.
Give we the glory and praise to the Lamb! Take we the
robe and the harp and the palm; sing we the song of the
Lamb who was slain, dying in weakness and rising to
reign; dying in weakness and rising to reign!
Greeting (Please rise as you are able) P: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. C: And also with you.
Prayer of the Day Eternal and all-merciful God, with all the angels and all the saints we laud your majesty and might. By the resurrection of your Son, show yourself to us and inspire us to follow Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen. (You may be seated)
First Reading…………..……………….............…Acts 9:16 [7-20] C: Thanks be to God.
Psalm…………..…………….…………..…………………....Psalm 301I will exalt you, O LORD, because you have lift- | ed me up and have not let my enemies triumph | over me. 2O LORD my God, I cried | out to you, and you restored | me to health. 3You brought me up, O LORD, | from the dead;you restored my life as I was going down | to the grave 4Sing praise to the LORD, | all you faithful; give thanks in ho- | ly
remembrance. 5God’s wrath is short; God’s favor | lasts a lifetime. Weeping spends the night, but joy comes | in the morning 6While I felt se- | cure, I said, “I shall never | be disturbed 7You, LORD, with your favor, made me as strong | as the mountains.” Then you hid your face, and I was | filled with fear. 8I cried to | you, O LORD;I pleaded with | my Lord, saying, 9“What profit is there in my blood, if I go down | to the pit? Will the dust praise you or de- | clare your faithfulness? 10Hear, O LORD, and have mer- | cy upon me; O LORD, | be my helper.” 11You have turned my wailing | into dancing; you have put off my sackcloth and clothed | me with joy. 12Therefore my heart sings to you | without ceasing; O LORD my God, I will give you | thanks forever. Second Reading……….………..…….……..…Revelation 5:11-14 C: Thanks be to God.

love. Glory to you, O Lord
Gospel………………….……..……..……………...……John 21:1-19 C: Praise to you, O Christ. (You may be seated) Message……………………………..…….Pastor Yvonne Marshall
Hymn of the Day…..Christ is Alive! Let Christians Sing…#389
Christ is alive! Let Christians sing. The cross stands
empty to the sky. Let streets and homes with praises
ring. Love, drowned in death, shall never die.
Christ is alive! No longer bound to distant years in
Palestine, but saving, healing, here and now, and
touching ev’ry place and time.
In ev’ry insult, rift, and war, where color, scorn, or
wealth divide, Christ suffers still, yet loves the more,
and lives, where even hope has died.
Women and men, in age and youth, can feel the Spirit,
hear the call, and find the way, the life, the truth,
revealed in Jesus, freed for all.
Christ is alive, and comes to bring good news to this and
every age, till earth and sky and ocean ring with joy, with
justice, love, and praise.

Offering Hymn……..Lord, I Lift Your Name on High….…#857
Lord, I lift your name on high; Lord, I love to sing your praises. I’m so glad you’re in my life, I’m so glad you came to save us. You came from heaven to earth to show the way, from the earth to the cross, my debt to pay, from the cross to the grave, from the grave to the sky; Lord, I lift your name on high.
Offering Prayer (Please rise as you are able) P: Blessed are you, O God, maker of all things. Through your goodness you have blessed us with these gifts: our selves, our time, and our possessions. Use us, and what we have gathered in feeding the world with your love, through the one who gave himself for us, Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. C: Amen.
The Great Thanksgiving……………………………..……Page 152

Words of Institution P: For as often as we eat of this bread and drink from this cup, we proclaim the mystery of faith. C: Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.
Lord’s Prayer………………………..…….….………………Page 154

be requested from the server. If you are unable to come forward, let an usher know and communion will be brought to you. You are invited to come forward to receive a blessing if you choose not to receive communion. Communion Prayer……………………..……..…………..Page 154
Sending Hymn…….…God, Whose Almighty Word………#673
God, whose almighty word chaos and darkness heard
and took their flight: hear us, we humbly pray, and
where the gospel day sheds not its glorious ray, let there
be light.
Christ, who once came to bring, on your redeeming
wing, healing and sight; health to the troubled mind,
sight where illusions blind; oh, now to humankind let
there be light.
Spirit of truth and love, life-giving, holy dove, speed
forth your flight; move on the water's face bearing the
lamp of grace, and in earth's darkest place let there be
light.
Holy and blessed three, glorious Trinity, Wisdom, Love,
Might: boundless as ocean's tide, rolling in fullest pride,
through the earth, far and wide, let there be light.
P: Go in peace, share the good news. C: Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia! **********************************************
