Easter Sunday

SUNDAY MORNING April 12, 2020 ELEVEN O’CLOCK AM

Easter Sunday

The liturgical color today is white. White is the color of purity and is reserved for the church’s most joyful celebrations.

Today we celebrate Christ’s resurrection and triumph over death. THE GREETING Tammy Hight THE CHIMING OF THE TRINITY THE INVOCATION THE PRELUDE Grand Chœur Theodore Dubois THE CALL TO WORSHIP

This is the day when Hope tiptoes us awake; when light guides us through the shadows. This is the day the Lord plants joy in our winter hearts and drowns out despair’s cries

with laughter. This is the day the Lord has made: the day grace does cartwheels in graveyards;

resurrection wonder outshines the brightest sun and an empty tomb fills us with good news.
