TRANSCRIPT
April 4, 2021Easter Sunday
Maya Angelou was born on this day in 1928 in St. Louis, Missouri. It seems fitting to view her life in an Easter frame.
While working in Ghana in 1965, Maya met Malcolm X. He convinced her to come back to the States to help him establish the Organiza-tion of African American Unity. Days after she arrived, he was assassinated. She later agreed to work with Martin Luther King, Jr. On this same day, April 4, in 1968, also her 40th birthday, King was assassinated. She fell into depression.
Friends recommended that she write an au-tobiography, but she repeatedly refused. James Baldwin knew her spirit. He suggested a differ-ent tactic to a Random House editor. The editor called one last time and told Maya that it was just as well she refused because it’s too difficult to write an autobiography that is also good lit-erature. Challenge accepted. The result was the acclaimed I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.
Maya Angelou always kept the slave narra-tive in her mind, as it played itself out through her body, too. The legacy of slavery and white supremacy continues to haunt Black Americans, as they feel themselves assigned to the lowest place in the social hierarchy.
But Angelou also had her Christian faith to buoy her whenever she felt she was being pulled under the current for good. It’s an Easter
faith rooted in deliverance from the dead. Jesus’ resurrection was foreshadowed in the deliv-erance from slavery of the children of Israel through the deadly waters of the Sea.
It wasn’t an Easter poem per se, as she wrote Still I Rise for the inauguration of President Bill Clinton in 1993. But the theme of rising is noth-ing but Easter truth. The first and last stanzas remind us of that because Christ’s resurrection power is still loose in the world.
You may write me down in historyWith your bitter, twisted lies,You may trod me in the very dirtBut still, like dust, I’ll rise.……………………………………..
Leaving behind nights of terror and fearI riseInto a daybreak that’s wondrously clearI riseBringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,I am the dream and the hope of the slave.I riseI riseI rise.

Prelude Trio and Toccata on hymn to joy arr. Jeff Brummel
Gospel Reading—Mark 16:1–8 Julie Girards
When the sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him. And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. They had been saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?” When they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had already been rolled back. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man, dressed in a white robe, sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed. But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed; you are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has been raised; he is not here. Look, there is the place they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him, just as he told you.” So they went out and fled from the tomb, for terror and amazement had seized them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.
Christ is risen!He is risen indeed.
Christ is risen!He is risen indeed.
Christ is risen!He is risen indeed.
Cuando pasó el sábado, María Magdalena, María la madre de Jacobo, y Salomé compraron especias aromáticas para ir a ungir el cuerpo de Jesús. Muy de mañana el primer día de la semana, apenas salido el sol, se dirigieron al sepulcro. Iban diciéndose unas a otras: “¿Quién nos quitará la piedra de la entrada del sepulcro?” Pues la piedra era muy grande. Pero, al fijarse bien, se dieron cuenta de que estaba corrida. Al entrar en el sepulcro vieron a un joven vestido con un manto blanco, sentado a la derecha, y se asustaron.—No se asusten —les dijo—. Ustedes buscan a Jesús el nazareno, el que fue crucificado. ¡Ha resucitado! No está aquí. Miren el lugar donde lo pusieron. Pero vayan a decirles a los discípulos y a Pedro: “Él va delante de ustedes a Galilea. Allí lo verán, tal como les dijo”. Temblorosas y desconcertadas, las mujeres salieron huyendo del sepulcro. No dijeron nada a nadie, porque tenían miedo.
¡Cristo ha resucitado!Él ha resucitado.
¡Cristo ha resucitado!Él ha resucitado.
¡Cristo ha resucitado!Él ha resucitado.

Hymn 194 Christ the Lord Is Risen Today easter hymn
Greeting to Worshipers George Mason
Psalm Reading—Psalm 118:1–2, 14–24 Darren DeMent
O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his steadfast love endures forever! Let Israel say, “His steadfast love endures forever.”…The Lord is my strength and my might; he has become my salvation. There are glad songs of victory in the tents of the righteous: “The right hand of the Lord does valiantly; the right hand of the Lord is exalted; the right hand of the Lord does valiantly.” I shall not die, but I shall live, and recount the deeds of the Lord. The Lord has punished me severely, but he did not give me over to death. Open to me the gates of righteousness, that I may enter through them and give thanks to the Lord. This is the gate of the Lord; the righteous shall enter through it. I thank you that you have answered me and have become my salvation. The stone that the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone. This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes. This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Den gracias al Señor, porque él es bueno; su gran amor perdura para siempre. Que proclame el pueblo de Israel: “Su gran amor perdura para siempre”….El Señor es mi fuerza y mi canto; ¡él es mi salvación! Gritos de júbilo y victoria resuenan en las casas de los justos: “¡La diestra del Señor realiza proezas! ¡La diestra del Señor es exaltada! ¡La diestra del Señor realiza proezas!” No he de morir; he de vivir para proclamar las maravillas del Señor. El Señor me ha castigado con dureza, pero no me ha entregado a la muerte. Ábranme las puertas de la justiciar para que entre yo a dar gracias al Señor. Son las puertas del Señor, por las que entran los justos. ¡Te dare gracias porque me respondiste, porque eres mi salvación! La piedra que desecharon los constructores ha llegado a ser la piedra angular. Esto ha sido obra del Señor, y nos deja maravillados. Este es el día en que el Señor actuó; regocijémonos y alegrémonos en él.

Prayers of the People Leanna Coyle-Carr
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our sins, As we forgive those who sin against us;
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, For thine is the kingdom, and the power,
and the glory forever. Amen.
Hymn On This Easter Morning Singing ar hyd y nosText: R. G. Huff
Celebration of the Lord’s Supper Ashley Robinson
Passing of the Peace May the peace of the Lord be always with you.And also with you.
Solo Because He Lives arr. Amy PottkotterAmy Pottkotter, soprano
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 is 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 living just because He lives.
5
How sweet to hold a newborn baby,And feel the pride, and joy He gives;But greater still the calm assurance,
This child can face uncertain days 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 vict’ry,I’ll see the lights of glory and I’ll know He lives.
