Unison: Living God, we confess that we look for the living among the dead. We want to receive forgiveness, but we are not ready to forgive.  We want to see Jesus’ wounds, but we ignore the woundedness of others. Forgive us; give us new life!
Embrace us in Christ’s body so that we may embody for the world the life that death cannot destroy; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

L: …In the name of Jesus Christ, we are forgiven!

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven.  Give us today our daily bread.  Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.  Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil.  For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever.  Amen.

Liturgy for Easter Sunday



      The session, with the blessing of the denomination, has decided that the celebration of the Lord’s Supper will be included in our worship.  You are invited to have bread and drink available.  No special food is required.  We are reminded that Jesus used common elements when he shared that final meal with his disciples.  We are also reminded that it is the Lord’s Table to which we come.  That table is more than what we can see in particular places.  We gather with the saints of all times and all places.  It is Christ who unites us.

We are witnesses to the resurrection. 
The Lord is risen; he is risen indeed!
This is the day that the Lord has made; 
let us rejoice and be glad in it! 
Prayer of the Day
Call to Confession
Prayer of Confession
Almighty God,
in raising Jesus from the grave,
you shattered the power of sin and death.
We confess that we remain captive to doubt and fear, bound by the ways that lead to death.
We overlook the poor and the hungry,
and pass by those who mourn;
we are deaf to the cries of the oppressed,
and indifferent to calls for peace;
we despise the weak,
and abuse the earth you made. 
Forgive us, God of mercy. 
Help us to trust your power 
to change our lives and make us new, 
that we may know the joy of life abundant 
given in Jesus Christ, the risen Lord.

Prayer of the Day
Call to Confession
Prayer of Confession
Loving God,
you rode a donkey and came in peace,
humbled yourself and gave yourself for us.
We confess our lack of humility.
As you entered Jerusalem,
the crowds shouted “Hosanna: ‘Save us now!’”
On Good Friday they shouted “Crucify!”
We confess our praise is often empty.
We sing “Hosanna,” but cry “Crucify.”
As the crowd laid their palms in front of you,
you took no glory for yourself.
We confess that we want to be accepted and take the easy way. We do not stay true to your will.
Forgive us, Lord, and help us
to follow in the way of obedience.
