*CALL TO WORSHIP                                                                             Carla Shafer
Through God’s miracle of grace,
we have come through the night
and arrived at this glorious dawn.
Christ is risen! Alleluia!

All doors are open, all creation sings,
all that was broken is made whole,
and we have new life.
He is risen indeed! Alleluia!

Let all that has life and breath praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord!

HYMN OF PRAISE                              “Jesus Christ is Risen Today” – GTG 232

CALL TO CONFESSION

PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Resurrected Christ,
  there is nothing we can do
  to deserve the grace you give us.
There is no way we can earn your love,
  there is no way we can be worthy
  of your forgiveness.
And yet you shower these mercies on us.
You, who have taken away the sting of death,
  meet us where we are,
  in our doubt and fear,
  in our regrets and shame,
  in our delight and awe.
Meet us here in this place,
  and call us once again to trust in you.

And also with you.
