Call to Worship: Psalm 30:2-5
Lord my God, I called to You for help,
and You healed me.
You, Lord, brought me up from the realm of the dead;
You spared me from going down to the pit.
Sing the praises of the Lord, You His faithful people;
praise His holy name.
For His anger lasts only a moment,
but His favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may stay for the night,
but rejoicing comes in the morning.
Congregational Prayer:
Risen Lord, You have conquered death itself! The roman guards
could not keep You, the stone could not stop You, and the grave
could not hold You. You are risen and full of life
everlasting! Glory to God in the Highest! Amen.
