Sharing the Peace

Song Alleluia! Jesus Is Risen Music: David N. Johnson; Text: Herbert F. Brokering

Alleluia! Jesus is risen!

Trumpets resounding in glorious light!

Splendor, the Lamb, heaven forever!

Oh, what a miracle God has in sight!

Refrain

Jesus is risen and we shall arise.

Give God the glory! Alleluia!

Jesus the vine, we are the branches;

life in the Spirit the fruit of the tree;

heaven to earth, Christ to the people,

gift of the future now flowing to me.  

City of God, Easter forever,

golden Jerusalem, Jesus the Lamb,

river of life, saints and archangels,

sing with creation to God the I AM!

Confession

Have mercy, O God, Against you, you alone, we have sinned. In your compassion, cleanse us from our sin and take away our guilt. Create in us a new heart and give us a steadfast spirit. Do not cast us away, but fill us with your Holy Spirit and restore your joy within us. Amen.

Words of Forgiveness

Song of Praise Glory in the Highest by Jonathan Rundman

Chorus:

Glory in the highest 

Glory be to God 

Glory in the highest 

and peace to all the earth 

Shaper of the universe 

Thanks and praise we sing 

Loving father, caring mother 

Hold us in your wings 

Jesus Christ the Lamb of God 

You wash our sins away 

At your table all are welcome 

Hear us as we pray 

Holy Spirit source of life 

Burning wild and free 

You are God the three in one 

Such a mystery

Message

Song We Walk by Faith Music: Marty Haugen; Text: Henry Alford

We walk by faith and not by sight;

with gracious words draw near,

O Christ, who spoke as none e'er spoke:

"My peace be with you here."

We may not touch your hands and side,

nor follow where you trod;

but in your promise we rejoice,

and cry, "My Lord and God!"

Help then, O Lord, our unbelief;

and may our faith abound

to call on you when you are near

and seek where you are found:

For you, O resurrected Lord,

are found in means divine:

beneath the water and the word,

beneath the bread and wine.

Apostles' Creed

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

Lord's Prayer

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 and ever. Amen.

the sin of the world

Oh grant us peace, Lamb of God
