Hello

Christ The Lord Is Risen Today (He Is Not Dead)

Christ the Lord is risen today, alleluia  
Sons of men and angels say, alleluia  
Raise your joys and triumphs high, alleluia  
Sing ye heavens and earth reply, alleluia  

Lives again our glorious King, alleluia  
Where oh death is now thy sting, alleluia  
Dying once He all doth save, alleluia  
Where thy victory oh grave, alleluia  

He is not dead, He is alive  
We have this hope in Jesus Christ

Christ has opened paradise, 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  

WE HEAR GOD'S STORY IN OUR LIVES

Scripture Reading: John 20: 11-18

But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb, and she saw two angels in white sitting where the body of Jesus had been lying, one at the head and the other at the feet. They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.” When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?” Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.” Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to him in Hebrew, “Rabbouni!” (which means Teacher). Jesus said to her, “Do not touch me, because I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’ ” Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord,” and she told them that he had said these things to her.

Sermon: Encounter With Mary

My Tribute/ Bless His Holy Name

How can I say thanks for the things  
You have done for me  
Things so undeserved, yet You gave 
To prove Your love for me  
The voices of a million angels  
Could not express my gratitude  
All that I am and ever hope to be  
I owe it all to Thee  

To God be the glory, to God be the glory  
To God be the glory for the things He has done  
With His blood He has saved me  
With His pow’r He has raised me  
To God be the glory  
For the things He has done  

Just let me live my life  
Let it be pleasing Lord to Thee
And should I gain any praise 
Let it go to Calvary  

WE GIVE BACK TO GOD AND OTHERS

The Great Thanksgiving and Sharing Of Communion

Make Room

Here is where I lay it down  
Every burden, every crown  
This is my surrender, this is my surrender  
Here is where I lay it down  
Every lie and every doubt  
This is my surrender  

And I will make room for you  
To do whatever you want to   
To do whatever you want to  
And I will make room for you  
To do whatever you want to  
To do whatever you want to  

Shake up the ground of all my tradition  
Break down the walls of all my religion  
Your way is better, Your way is better  

Here is where I lay it down  
You are all I’m chasing now  
This is my surrender, this is my surrender  
Here is where I lay it down  
You are all I’m chasing now  
This is my surrender  
This is my surrender  

Sinking Deep

Standing here in Your presence  
In a grace so relentless  
I am won by perfect love  
Wrapped within the arms of heaven  
In a peace that lasts forever  
Sinking deep in mercy’s seat  

I’m wide awake, drawing close  
Stirred by grace and all my heart is Yours  
All fear removed, I breathe You in 
I lean into Your love, oh Your love  

When I’m lost You pursue me  
Lift my head to see Your glory  
Lord of all so beautiful  
Here in You I find shelter  
Captivated by the splendor of  
Your face my secret place  

Your love so deep washing over me  
Your face is all I seek, You are my everything  
Jesus Christ, You are my one desire 
Lord hear my only cry to know You all my life  

WE GO OUT TO LIVE AS GOD'S PEOPLE

Because He Lives 

God sent His son, they called Him Jesus  
He came to love, heal, and forgive  
He lived and died to buy my pardon  
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives  

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow  
Because He lives, all fear is gone  
Because I know He holds the future  
And life is worth the living just because He lives  

And then one day I’ll cross the river  
I’ll fight life’s final war with pain  
And then as death gives way to victory  
I’ll see the lights of glory and I’ll know He lives  

Christian Benediction

Hear, O followers of Christ: The Lord is our God, the Lord alone.  We will love the Lord our God with all our heart, with all our soul, and with all our strength.  We will love our neighbors as ourselves, as Jesus taught:  showing mercy, seeking justice, walking humbly, and offering grace.  We will hold these words in our hearts and let them shape our lives.  We will teach them to our children, and speak of them in our homes and wherever we go.  We will surround ourselves with reminders of God’s love—  in what we choose, in what we say, and in how we live.  For this is the way of Christ. This is the way of life.
