Hymn: TiS 362

1. Jesus Christ is risen today, alleluia! our triumphant holy day, alleluia! who so lately on the cross alleluia! suffered to redeem our loss, alleluia!

2. Hymns of praise then let us sing unto Christ, our heavenly king, who endured the cross and grave sinners to redeem and save.

3. But the pain that he endured our salvation has procured; now exalted he is king, and the angels ever sing:

Invocation: Blessed be God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Blessed be God's kingdom, now and for ever.

Greeting: The Lord be with you. AND ALSO WITH YOU. (see Ruth 2:4) Sentence: The Lord is risen indeed, alleluia! 1 Corinthians 5.7–8 Prayer of Preparation: As we gather as God's people let us pray together:

Almighty God, to whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hidden: cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy name, through Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Summary of the Commandments: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one; you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ Jesus said: ‘This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: you shall love your neighbour as yourself.’

Kyrie eleison (Dudman)

5

The Confession

Let us confess our sins in penitence and faith, confident in God's forgiveness. Merciful God, our maker and our judge,

we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, and in what we have failed to do: we have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbours as ourselves; we repent, and are sorry for all our sins. Father, forgive us. Strengthen us to love and obey you in newness of life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Absolution (Celebrant)

Almighty God, who has promised forgiveness to all who turn to him in faith: pardon you and set you free from all your sins, strengthen you in all goodness and keep you in eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Gloria [Dudman]

Prayer of the Day Glorious Lord of life, by the mighty resurrection of your Son you overcame the old order of sin and death to make all things new in him: grant that we, who celebrate with joy Christ’s rising from the dead may be raised from the death of sin to the life of righteousness; through him who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD Readings from 'New Revised Standard Version' (NRSV)

First Reading: Acts 10.34-43 34 Then Peter began to speak to them: ‘I truly understand that God shows no partiality, 35 but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him. 36 You know the message he sent to the people of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all. 37 That message spread throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John announced: 38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power; how he went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. 39 We are witnesses to all that he did both in Judea and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree; 40 but God raised him on the third day and allowed him to appear, 41 not to all the people but to us who were chosen by God as witnesses, and who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. 42 He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one ordained by God as judge of the living and the dead. 43 All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.’

Response: Hear the word of the Lord, THANKS BE TO GOD

7

Psalm 118.1-2, 14-24 1 O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good:

his mercy endures for ever. 2 Let Israel now proclaim:

that his mercy endures for ever. 14 The Lord is my strength and my song:

and has become my salvation. 15 The sounds of joy and deliverance:

are in the tents of the righteous. 16 The right hand of the Lord does mighty things:

the right hand of the Lord raises up. 17 I shall not die but live:

and proclaim the works of the Lord. 18 The Lord has disciplined me hard:

but he has not given me over to death. 19 Open me the gates of righteousness:

and I will enter and give thanks to the Lord. 20 This is the gate of the Lord:

the righteous shall enter it. 21 I will praise you, for you answered me:

and have become my salvation. 22 The stone that the builders rejected:

has become the head of the corner. 23 This is the Lord’s doing:

and it is marvellous in our eyes. 24 This is the day that the Lord has made:

let us rejoice and be glad in it.

8

Second Reading: Colossians 3.1-4 1 So if you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth, 3 for you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is your life is revealed, then you also will be revealed with him in glory. Response: Hear the word of the Lord,

THANKS BE TO GOD

Gradual Hymn: TiS 393

1. Christ is alive, with joy we sing; we celebrate our risen Lord, praising the glory of his name. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

2. He is the grain of wheat that died, sown in distress and reaped in joy, yielding a harvest of new life. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

3. He is the sun which brings the dawn: he is the light of all the world, setting us free from death and sin. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

4. He is the vine set in the earth, sharing our life, from birth to death, that we might share in God’s own life. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

5. He is the bread that comes from God,

broken to feed us in our need, given to bring eternal life. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

6. Christ is alive, with joy we sing; we celebrate our risen Lord, praising the glory of his name. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

We stand for the reading of the Holy Gospel as a sign of respect as we greet our Lord who is present in His Holy Word.

The Lord be with you AND ALSO WITH YOU The gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, according to Saint Matthew chapter 28 beginning at the 1st verse. GLORY TO YOU, LORD JESUS CHRIST.

1 After the sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. 2 And suddenly there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord, descending from heaven, came and rolled

back the stone and sat on it. 3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. 4 For fear of him the guards shook and became like dead men. 5 But the angel said to the women, ‘Do not be afraid; I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is not here; for he has been raised, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples, “He has been raised from the dead, and indeed he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him.” This is my message for you.’ 8 So they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. 9 Suddenly Jesus met them and said, ‘Greetings!’ And they came to him, took hold of his feet, and worshipped him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, ‘Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.’

Gospel Response: This is the gospel of the Lord,

PRAISE TO YOU, LORD JESUS CHRIST.

ALLELUIA Sung by Choir & Congregation

SERMON - (copy of sermon available at back of church and on the church website)

10

The Nicene Creed Let us together affirm the faith of the Church.

We believe in one God, the Father, the almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary and became truly human. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

11

4. The pains of hell are loosed at last; the days of mourning now are past; an angel robed in light has said, ‘The Lord has risen from the dead!’

5. From every weapon death can wield your own redeemed for ever shield: O Lord of all, with us abide in this our joyful Eastertide.

Final Hymn: TiS 380

1. Yours be the glory, risen, conquering Son, endless is the victory over death you’ve won; angels in bright raiment rolled the stone away, kept the folded grave-clothes, where your body lay.

Yours be the glory, risen, conquering Son, endless is the victory over death you’ve won.

for the Lord is living, death has lost its sting. Refrain
