WELCOME
MUSIC IN WORSHIP
Jesus is Risen
Our King was nailed to the cross,
like love could be broken
Our Savior breathed in His last,
like hell had a moment
They laid Him down in a grave,
like hope could be stolen
They covered Him up with a stone,
like it could hold Him
Chorus 1
Jesus has risen, He is alive
Look in the tomb,
there is hope we can find
The curse has been lifted
and we are forgiven
He is alive, Jesus is risen
He kicked down the door of death,
our God is victorious —
Breaking every stronghold of sin,
by His blood he restores
Triumphant and life in His hands,
He did it all for us
The Lion, the Lamb, overcame,
our Savior is glo-ri-ous
Chorus 2
Jesus has risen, He is alive
Look in the tomb,
there is hope we can find
The curse has been lifted
and we are forgiven
He is alive–
Jesus has risen, He is alive
Look in the tomb,
there is hope we can find
The curse has been lifted
and we are forgiven
He is alive, Jesus is risen
Bridge
Crown Him, crown Him,
Jesus, Lord of All
Hail Him, hail Him, Jesus, Lord of All
Crown Him, crown Him,
Jesus, Lord of All
The High King of heaven,
Jesus, Lord of All
(Chorus 2)
What He’s Done
See on the hill of Calvary
My Savior bled for me
My Jesus set me free
Look at the wounds that give me life
Grace flowing from His side
No greater sacrifice
Chorus
What He’s done, What He’s done
All the glory and the honor to the Son
My sins are forgiven
My future is Heaven
I praise God for what He’s done
Sing for the freedom He has won
Even death is dead and done
His life has overcome
Speak, say the Name above all names
Over every broken place
He is risen from the grave
(Chorus)
Now on a throne of majesty
The Father’s will complete
He reigns in victory
Sing hallelujah to the King
He is worthy to receive
All the worship we can bring
(Chorus X2)

Offering Prayer (together)
(from New Life Fellowship, NY)
Father, you are an abundant giver.
There is nothing that we have that you have not given us.
The way of your kingdom is the way of generosity.
Help us honor you with our resources.
Free us from the deceit of riches.
Lead us on the path of generosity.
For your glory, Lord, for the abundance of our own lives and for the sake of others.
O Lord, My Rock and My Redeemer
O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer
Greatest treasure of my longing soul
My God, like You there is no other
True delight is found in You alone
Your grace, a well too deep to fathom
Your love exceeds the heaven’s reach
Your truth, a fount of perfect wisdom
My highest good and my unending need
O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer
Strong defender of my weary heart
My sword to fight the cruel deceiver
And my shield against his hateful darts
My song, when enemies surround me
My hope, when tides of sorrow rise
My joy, when trials are abounding
Your faithfulness, my refuge in the night
O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer
Gracious Savior of my ruined life
My guilt and cross laid on Your shoulders
In my place You suffered bled and died
You rose, the grave and death
are conquered
You broke my bonds of sin and shame
You rose, the grave and death
are conquered
You broke my bonds of sin and shame
O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer
May all my days bring glory to Your Name
May all my days bring glory to Your Name

COMMUNION
Welcome to the Table
Come to this table not because you must but because you may
Not because you are strong but because you are weak
Come not because of any goodness of your own gives you the right to come but because you need mercy and help
Come because you’ve a little and you would like to live even more
Come because God loves you
Come and meet the risen Christ for He is the bread of life
Confession
“ The sad irony of our day is that we can be deeply committed to being a
Christian but not deeply formed by Christ” Rich Villodas.
(Congregation joins in where text is bold)
O Lord, you are our shepherd,
and yet we sometimes live like sheep without a shepherd.
We lie down when we could act,
We stir the pot when we could offer peace,
We wander tempting paths instead of following you.
We seek courage and comfort in earthly things rather than in you.
We hate our enemies and refuse to break bread with them,
We see scarcity even when you offer us abundance.
Forgive us, we pray.
May we dwell with You forever. Amen.
Jesus says: 29 “Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”
– Matt 11:29-30
Communion
We come together around this table of memories. It is not that we deserve to be here. This is not a right to be earned. This is not a reward to be achieved. This is a gift which can only be accepted from our forgiving and generous God.
We proclaim the mystery of our faith:
Christ was birthed among us.
Christ was killed among us.
Christ rises again among us.
It was at a table like this that Jesus shared His last meal with His followers.
We lift the bread as He did. We break it as He did. And we share it remembering His words:
“My body is broken for you. Eat and remember me.”
We also lift the cup as He did. And we share it remembering His words:
“My blood flows for you. Drink and remember me”.
“Go into all the world,” said Jesus;
We go to make His loving words heard.
“What you do for the least, you do for Me,” said Jesus;
We go to make His loving deeds seen.
“I will never drive away any who come to me,” said Jesus;
We go to make His loving invitation known.
May the love of God, the Three-in-One, fill our hearts and make us
one with God, and with all of God’s children,
And may we grow in that love now and always. Amen
CLOSING SONG
Living Hope
How great the chasm that lay between us
How high the mountain I could not climb
In desperation, I turned to heaven
And spoke Your name into the night
Then through the darkness, Your loving-kindness
Tore through the shadows of my soul
The work is finished, the end is written
Jesus Christ, my living hope
Who could imagine so great a mercy?
What heart could fathom such boundless grace?
The God of ages stepped down from glory
To wear my sin and bear my shame
The cross has spoken, I am forgiven
The King of kings calls me His own
Beautiful Savior, I’m Yours forever
Jesus Christ, my living hope
Chorus
Hallelujah, praise the One who set me free
Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain
There’s salvation in Your name
Jesus Christ, my living hope
Then came the morning that sealed
the promise
Your buried body began to breathe
Out of the silence, the Roaring Lion
Declared the grave has no claim on me
(x2)
Jesus, Yours is the victory
(Chorus x2)
