The Welcome and The Lord’s Prayer

 

*The Opening Hymn # 159                                            Christ the Lord is Risen Today                        

 

The Scripture Lesson                                                                            I Corinthians 15: 1-8

 

Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand.  By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you.  Otherwise, you have believed in vain.

 

For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve.  After that, He appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.  Then He appeared to James, than to all the apostles, and last of all He appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.

 

This is the Gospel of the Lord

Thanks be to God

 

A Responsive Reading of Praise

 

We glory in your cross, O Lord,

 

And praise and glorify your resurrection victory;

For by virtue of your cross

Joy has come to the whole world.

 

May God be merciful to us and bless us,

Shed the light of his countenance on us, and come to us.

 

We glory in your cross, O Lord,

And praise and glorify your resurrection,

For by virtue of your cross

Joy has come to the whole world.
