MINISTRY OF MUSIC “Then Came the Morning” Bill Gaither
Kathy Zinn, Sharon Keeler, Calvin Keeler, Jr., Ken Zinn
They all walked away, nothing to say
They'd just lost their dearest friend All that He said, now He was dead So this was the way it would end
The dreams they had dreamed were not what they'd seemed Now that He was dead and gone
The garden, the jail, the hammer, the nail
How could a night be so long?
Then came the morning Night turned into day
The stone was rolled away Hope rose with the dawn
Then came the morning
Shadows vanished before the sun Death had lost and life had won
For morning had come
The angel, the star, the kings from afar The wedding, the water, the wine
Now it was done, they'd taken her Son Wasted before His time
She knew it was true, she'd watched Him die too
She'd heard them call Him just a man But deep in her heart she knew from the start
Somehow her Son would live again
Then came the morning Night turned into day
The stone was rolled away
Hope rose with the dawn
Then came the morning Shadows vanished before the sun
Death had lost and life had won For morning had come
Then came the morning
Shadows vanished before the sun Death had lost and life had won
For morning had come For morning had come

MESSAGE “The Cross, the Tomb, and the Stone” Rev. Mary Browne
PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE
*THE LORDS PRAYER (in unison)
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 trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass 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.
STEWARDSHIP MOMENT
OFFERTORY “Ode to Joy” L. Beethoven/arr. K. Wissinger
Good Chimes Handbell Quartet
OFFERING PRAYER
God of grace and God of glory, pour your power on your people this day,
that our lives may reflect the gift we have received through the resurrection of your Son.
Truly we see that you show no partiality, offering abundance of life and fullness of grace
to all who turn to you in their need. With deepest gratitude for your many gifts,
particularly the gift of your Son, we offer you our tithes and offerings this day.
In the name of the resurrected one, we pray. Amen.
*CLOSING HYMN (UMH 364) “Because He Lives” Bill/Gloria Gaither
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 to 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 the living, just because He lives
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 day, because He 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 the living, just because He lives
*DISMISSAL WITH BLESSING
Receive the good news: Christ is risen from the dead. Tell the good news: the power of death shall no more oppress us.
Live the good news: we are free to love as he has loved us.
May God who raised Jesus from the dead bless you
and by the power of the Holy Spirit raise you with him in glory.
Amen.
