opening litany Psalm 23

Pastor: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

Congregation: And also with you.

Celebration of Resurrection New Life and Forgiveness


Pastor: We are a Resurrection people called by God to live a Resurrection life.

All: Christ is Risen, Christ is risen indeed. We live our lives each day knowing that Christ has opened the way to New Life to be lived in fullness and forgiveness each and every day. Even when our lives take us through the dark valleys, we know we are never alone, Our Risen Lord is always with us. We therefore will share the good news of the resurrection in our interactions with our brothers and sisters in this world. Amen


Pastor: So let us not deny the resurrection in our lives, but rather go boldly into the world knowing that in this resurrection life we are a forgiven people as we share the good news of God’s grace, in word and deed with the world around us. Amen

Congregation: The LORD is our shepherd, we shall not be in want for the Lord makes us lie down in green pastures, and leads me beside quiet waters. The Lord restores my soul and guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 

Pastor: Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for the Lord is with me; The Lord’s guidance comforts me.

Congregation: For the Lord prepares a table before us in the presence of those who would harm us. The Lord provides us with all we need and our cup of blessing overflows. 

Pastor: Surely goodness and love will follow us all the days of my lives,

Congregation: And we will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
