Just for Kids       # 163        Christ the Lord is Risen Today v 1 and 4
On Easter we have a special greeting.
I’ll say, “Christ is risen!”
You will answer, “Christ is risen indeed!”
Let’s practice this, getting louder each time we repeat it.
On Easter we celebrate that Jesus rose from death to a new life, like a beautiful butterfly hatches out of its chrysalis.
Let’s do a dance of joy for new life.
(Give each child a streamer.
Lead the children around your worship space, waving the streamers.
Invite the congregation to sing one verse of the chosen hymn as you and the children dance.)
Christ is risen!
Christ is risen indeed!
I have some happy news for you.
We celebrate Easter for 50 days.
Take your white streamer home to decorate your room.
It will remind you that our Easter joy lasts for 50 days!
*Prayer: *Dear God, thank you for sending your only son, Jesus Christ, to teach us about your love and to bring us forgiveness and new life.
Alleluia!
Amen.
Anthem

~*Doxology
~*Prayer of Dedication   In joy and glory we bring these offerings, asking that you may raise them from what is simply material and temporal, transforming them into the foundation of your eternal realm of mercy and justice.
Amen.
HYMN                                # 165        Low in the Grave He Lay
Scripture Reading                *Mark 16: 1-12  *
*We hear of the resurrection for the first time.
Although told the story, those who did not see for themselves find it hard to believe that Jesus Is Alive.*
1When the sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him.
2And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb.
3They had been saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?” 4When they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had already been rolled back.
5As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man, dressed in a white robe, sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed.
6But 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.
7But 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.” 8So 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.
9Now after he rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons.
10She went out and told those who had been with him, while they were mourning and weeping.
11But when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they would not believe it.
12After this he appeared in another form to two of them, as they were walking into the country.
13And they went back and told the rest, but they did not believe them.

~*Hymn of Prayer          insert        Heal Me, Hand of Jesus
Pastoral Prayer  How can we thank you on this day, O Christ?
No words are enough to express our wonder at your faithfulness to us.
No songs hold enough joy to sound the celebration as we receive the truth of your resurrection.
Our hearts come alive in response to your life, our souls expand in hope as we begin again in faith.
Our minds are stretched as we try to understand the ways that you reach toward us and our whole lives wait for a new future - lived with you, the one who will never betray us.
O God, We pray for a faith that moves mountains and for a commitment that dares to act in ways that bring your life into all that lies around us.~/Silent prayer
Come, amazing grace, and transform our future.
Come, risen Christ, and walk in freedom before us.
As we face the struggling parts of human life on this day, we place them close to your heart, that they may rise with you into new and passionate life:
The people pray
Come, amazing grace, and transform our future.
Come, risen Christ, and walk in freedom before us.
As we hold silence before the wonder of Easter, we pray that our whole lives may be open before you, that we may know more fully who we are and who we could become:
A silence is kept
Come, amazing grace, and transform our future.
Come, risen Christ, and walk in freedom before us.
This we pray in faith that is renewed by your love for us.Amen.
~*Hymn of Praise          # 158        I Serve a Risen Savior
 
Scripture Reading                *Acts 10:34–43 *
These verses are part of the glorious Easter proclamation.
Peter preaches to a group in Caesarea, witnessing to the risen Christ and Christ’s continued presence among his people.
34Then Peter began to speak to them: “I truly understand that God shows no partiality, 35but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.
36You know the message he sent to the people of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all.
37That message spread throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John announced: 38how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power; how he went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
39We are witnesses to all that he did both in Judea and in Jerusalem.
They put him to death by hanging him on a tree; 40but God raised him on the third day and allowed him to appear, 41not to all the people but to us who were chosen by God as witnesses, and who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
42He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one ordained by God as judge of the living and the dead.
43All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”
