A Service of Celebration for Easter Sunday

Sunrise Service 7:00am

Music of the Morning First Word Mark 10: 32-34 Prayer at the Dawning of a New Day Pastor David

Hymn “Holy Ground”

We are standing on holy ground. and I know that there are angels all around.

Let us praise Jesus now. We are standing in his presence on holy ground.

Lighting the Christ Candle

Leader: The light of Christ rises in Glory, overcoming the darkness of

sin and death. People: Christ is our Light!

Leader: Rejoice, all people! Rejoice, heavenly powers! Sing with the choirs of an-gels!

People: Jesus Christ, our King, is Risen!

Hymn “Morning Has Broken” Morning has broken, like the first morning,

Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird. Praise for the singing, praise for the morning, Praise for them springing fresh from the Word.

Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven,

Like the first dew fall on the first grass. Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden,

Sprung in completeness where His feet pass.

Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning, Born of the one light Eden saw play.

Praise with elation, praise every morning, God's re-creation of the new day.

Scripture Reading Isaiah 55: 1-3, 10-13

Prayer: Lord God, by your grace, you have offered water and bread with the gift of life, and you promise the springing forth of forsythia in place of thorns. This morning,

we seek your life-giving goodness in our lives as we gather beside the tomb of your Son and look for the victory found in his amazing Life over death. In Jesus' Name.

Amen

Reading Psalm 98: 1-3

Special Music

Easter Scripture Luke 24:1-7

Drama “He is Risen: The Inexplicable Reality”

Hymn “He Lives”

I serve a risen Savior, He's in the world today;

I know that He is living whatever foes may say;

I see His hand of mercy, I hear His voice of cheer,

And just the time I need Him, He's always near.

Refrain:

He lives, He lives,

Christ Jesus lives today!

He walks with me and talks with me

Along life's narrow way.

He lives, He lives,

Salvation to impart!

You ask me how I know He lives?

He lives within my heart.

In all the world around me I see His loving care,

And though my heart grows weary I never will despair;

I know that He is leading through all the stormy blast,

The day of His appearing will come at last.

Refrain

Rejoice, rejoice, O Christian, lift up your voice and sing

Eternal hallelujahs to Jesus Christ the King!

The hope of all who seek Him, the help of all who find,

None other is so loving, so good and kind.

Making the Cross Come Alive

Hymn “Christ, the Lord is Risen Today”

Christ the Lord is risen today, Alleluia!

Earth and Heaven in chorus say, Alleluia!

Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia!

Sing, ye heavens, and earth, reply, Alleluia!

Love’s redeeming work is done, Alleluia!

Fought the fight, the battle won, Alleluia!

Death in vain forbids Him rise, Alleluia!

Christ has opened paradise, Alleluia!

Lives again our glorious King, Alleluia!

Where, O death, is now thy sting? Alleluia!

Once He died our souls to save, Alleluia!

Where’s thy victory, boasting grave? Alleluia!

Soar we now where Christ has led, Alleluia!

Following our exalted Head, Alleluia!

Made like Him, like Him we rise, Alleluia!

Ours the cross, the grave, the skies, Alleluia!
