Risen Lord Jesus, On this glorious morning, we light the Christ Candle, a sign of Your victory over sin and death. May its flame remind us that darkness has no hold, and that Your light shines in every corner of our lives. Fill our hearts with resurrection joy, our minds with the hope of eternal life, and our hands with the work of love and peace.
As this candle burns brightly, may we carry Your light into the world, proclaiming with every word and deed: Christ is risen! Alleluia!

Opening Prayer 
 
On this radiant morning, we gather in awe and gratitude for the gift of resurrection life. The stone has been rolled away, and hope has risen with the dawn. We praise You for the victory of Jesus over sin and death, and for the promise that we, too, are made new in Him.
Fill our hearts with the joy of this day, the peace that surpasses understanding, and the courage to live as witnesses of Your love. May our worship be a fragrant offering, lifting high the name of the Risen Christ.
Bless every word spoken, every song sung, and every prayer lifted, that all may glorify You.
In the name of Jesus, our Living Savior, we pray.
Amen.
 
 
 
 
Invitation to Confession 

 

On this day of resurrection joy, we remember that the light of Christ shines into every shadow, revealing both our beauty and our brokenness.
The empty tomb proclaims victory over sin and death, yet we know we still stumble, still turn away, still need the mercy of our risen Lord.
With confidence in His unfailing grace, let us come honestly be-fore God, laying down our burdens, so that we may rise with Him into new life. First in silent prayer and then together.
 
Silent Prayer
 
 
Prayer of Confession 

Lord God, today we celebrate the greatest day in all of human history. Yet we confess that some-times we do not see all that You want us to see. In fact, at times, we are not looking for any an-swers at all. Sometimes we are even walking in the wrong direction. But You, O Lord, are a God of great faithfulness. We confess our sins of indif-ference and confusion. Have mercy upon us. Forgive our sin, O God. Today we come to You confidently, with eyes wide open, ready to be filled with understanding and wisdom. May our hearts be filled as You encourage us with Your truth and grace, by the power of the Holy Spirit. We ask this in Jesus’ Holy Name.

Words of Assurance 
 
L. Christ is risen!
The stone is rolled away, the grave is empty, and death has lost its power.
In Christ, our sins are forgiven, our hearts are made new, and our lives are filled with hope.
Because He lives, nothing can separate us from the love of God.
Go forth in peace—redeemed, restored, and rejoicing in the victory of our risen Lord.
 
P.  Alleluia! Amen.

 

 
Listening for the Spirit

Solo: Easter Hallelujah by Terry Harvey
 
A crown of thorns placed on His head
He knew that He would soon be dead
He said did you forget me Father did you?
They nailed Him to a wooden cross
Soon all the world would feel the loss
Of Christ the King before His Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
 
He hung His head and prepared to die
Then lifted His face up to the sky
Said I am coming home now Father to you
A reed which held His final sip
Was gently lifted to his lips
He drank His last and gave His soul to glory

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

 
The soldier who had used his sword
To pierce the body of our Lord
Said truly this is Jesus Christ our Savior
He looked with fear upon his sword
Then turned to face his Christ and Lord
Fell to his knees crying Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

 
Took from his head the thorny crown
And wrapped him in a linen gown
And laid him down to rest inside the tomb
The holes in his hands, his feet and side
Now in our hearts we know he died
To save us from ourselves oh hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

 
Three days went by again they came
To move the stone to bless the slain
With oil and spice anointing hallelujah
But as they went to move the stone
They saw that they were not alone
But Jesus Christ has risen Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

 
 
 
 
Scripture Readings

 

Acts 10:34-43

In this passage Peter shares the good news of what God has done in Jesus Christ with Cornelius and other gentiles. He gives a summary of the gospel, from Jesus’ liberating ministry to his death, resurrection, and exaltation as Lord of the living and dead.  The passage emphasizes the scope of God’s favour and its complementary message to Easter.

 
Acts 10:34-43
Gentiles Hear the Good News
Then Peter began to speak to them: ‘I truly under-stand that God shows no partiality, but in every na-tion anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him. You know the message he sent to the people of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all. That message spread throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee after the bap-tism that John announced: how 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. We are witnesses to all that he did both in Judea and in Jeru-salem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree; but God raised him on the third day and allowed him to appear, not 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. He com-manded 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. All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.’

The Word of the Lord                          
Thanks be to God

 

Psalm 118: 1-2, 14-24

This psalm is a passage from the Old Testament that is often quoted in the New Testament.  It speaks of God’s goodness, steadfast love, and help to those who trust in him.  The psalmist gives thanks for these blessings and declares that the Lord is their strength and song. 
 

Psalm 118: 1-2, 14-24

 
L.  Let Israel now say: 

 
P.  “God’s love endures for ever.”
 
Refrain:
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

 L.  God is my strength and my song; God has be-come my salvation.
 
P.  There are shouts of joy and deliverance in the tents of the righteous.

 
 L.  The right hand of the God does mighty things; the right hand of God raises up.

 
P.  The right hand of God does mighty things.

L.  I shall not die, but live; and I shall proclaim what God has done.

P.  God indeed punished me but did not give me over to death.
 
Refrain:
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

L. Open to me the gates of the temple, that I may en-ter and give thanks to God.

P.  This is the gate of God; through it the right-eous shall enter.

L.  I thank you for you have answered me; you have become my salvation.

P.  The stone which the builders rejected has be-come the chief cornerstone.
 

L.  This is God’s doing, marvellous in our eyes. 
 
Refrain:
Hallelujah! hallelujah!

 Response to Psalm
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the-Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen

Gospel Reading:  Matthew 28:1–10
 
In this familiar reading, we are called to delve deeper into the significance of the resurrection of Jesus and the angel’s message to the women at the tomb when reflecting on these profound events.  The resurrection of Jesus signifies the triumph of life over death, hope over despair, and light over darkness.  It serves as a powerful affirmation of the core Christian belief in the vic-tory of good over evil.  The resurrection also symbolizes the eter-nal nature of the soul, offering believers comfort and assurance that life does not end with physical death.

 

Gospel Reading:  Matthew 28:1–10

 
After the sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. And suddenly there was a great earth-quake; for an angel of the Lord, descending from heaven, came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. For fear of him the guards shook and became like dead men. But the angel said to the wom-en, “Do not be afraid; I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for he has been raised, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has been raised from the dead, and indeed he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him.’ This is my message for you.” So they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disci-ples. Suddenly Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” And they came to him, took hold of his feet, and wor-shiped him. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.”

Thanks be to God
 

 

 

Message:  The Fearful Joy of Easter
 
“Do not be afraid,” the angel told Mary Magdalene and the other Mary that first Easter morning, “For Jesus has been raised, just as he said.”   The angel’s message to those women that first Easter is also God’s message to us this day:  Do not be afraid.  For Jesus has been raised from the dead.
One of my favourite pastors, James Laurence, says that Easter means that Jesus is alive, and this means that we do not have to be afraid.  Easter makes it pos-sible for us to live our lives unafraid. He states that it is not by erasing our fears; but by transforming them. He shows us this belief by asking us to put ourselves in the shoes of those women who bravely went to Jesus’ tomb on that first Easter morning.
Mary Magdalene and the other Mary had every reason to be afraid that morning. A man they admired and loved, and whom they had hoped was their long-awaited Messiah, was dead.  And he had died in the most cruel and awful way imaginable; He had been crucified.  What did his death mean for them?  What would come next for them?  Would the Roman authorities begin executing them, and all of his followers?  The apostles were so afraid that they locked themselves away in the Upper Room.  But not these women.  They approached the tomb that first Easter morning, no doubt with fear, but also with courage.
Now, let’s continue to place ourselves in their shoes, and imagine what it would have been like when they arrived at the tomb, only to find themselves in the midst of a great earthquake.  At the same time, an angel of the Lord was descending from heaven, his appearance like lightning, and the guards were shaking and becoming like dead men. No wonder the angel began by telling the women not to be afraid! 
But do we really think that their fears were suddenly erased, or that their fears were transformed? 
Okay now, let us stay with the women for a minute longer and let’s join them as they leave the tomb with instructions from the angel.  We are told that they left quickly with fear and great joy. So, this tells us that their fears were not erased; they were transformed.  The women learned the difference between earthly fear and heavenly joy.  They transformed fear of what could happen to them without Jesus (earthly fear) to fear knowing that Jesus is always there when we are experiencing this fear (heavenly joy). 
And, James Laurence says, that is what God wants for us today: a fearful joy, or a joyful fear.  Not a Good Friday fear, but an Easter fear.  Not a crucifixion fear, but a resurrection fear.  Not a fear rooted in despair, but a fear rooted in faith.  I want us to know that the resurrection of our Lord fills us with this joyful type of fear.  A joy that nothing in life can take away, because it is a joy based on that wonderful Easter fear that the women experienced. 
When the women left the tomb that first Easter morning, they were met by Jesus himself.  And Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers and sister to go to Galilee; there they will see me.”
 
Why did Jesus tell them to go to Galilee instead of staying in Jerusalem or going to the Upper Room or even the Temple?  Galilee was sixty miles away- far removed from the miracle of Easter.
Laurence says that Jesus is telling them to go back to their families; back to their jobs, back to their daily lives and there they are promised to see their risen Lord.  The fearful joy of Easter, in other words, is not found by escaping our lives.  It is found by experiencing Jesus’ presence in the midst of our lives.
Easter means not just that Christ is risen, but that he is with us, now and always, wherever we find ourselves.  Easter means that we can expect to be met by Jesus in places where we least expect to find him. 
Easter, in other words, is about much more than an empty tomb.  It is about our risen Lord, who promises to be with us.  Easter is about Jesus coming to us in the midst of our fear and our dread and our despair, to give us renewed courage and hope and joy.
 It has been said that the greatest of all fears is the fear of death, and our Saviour has conquered that.  Another fear people talk about is the fear of being alone.  Je-sus promises that we are never alone- he is with us, always. This is the same when we have fears of situations that we must attend to such as a doctor’s ap-pointment, a known confrontation that is going to happen, etc. We need not be afraid since we know that Christ has risen and he is there with us.  We can “see” him, just as he promised. 
In the last few years, we have heard so much about anxiety in people. Anxiety is a kind of earthly fear.  Much of what we hear in this world can make us feel afraid.  It is supposed to; after all, fear sells.  Fear causes us to stay tuned to that news channel.  Fear causes us to buy that new security system.  So, really, we hear over and over again, that we should be afraid. Or that we should do this or buy that to deal with our fear.
All of this fear can cause us to stay locked up in our own Upper Rooms, with stones rolled over our doors.  Fear can prevent us from living with joy, and with love, and with peace.  This is where I wish more younger people came to church to be reminded of the great miracle of Easter.  That the Son of God lives and is with us. 
Jesus is alive and he is there bringing new life out of death, new faith out of fear, new hope out of despair and new light out of darkness. Our worldly fear is transformed into heavenly joy, the joy of knowing the Lord is with us.
Have any of you been following the case of Savannah Guthrie from NBC missing mother?  Savannah is a world known front desk journalist on the morning ‘Today’ show Monday – Friday.  Her 84 year old mom was kidnapped out of her Arizona house in the mid-dle of the night on Feb 1, 2026, and has not been seen since.  Savannah has been blaming herself, because of her position in the media, as the reason why her mom was kidnapped.  When Savannah was asked what is helping her with her fear- she replied “God- who else can I turn to”.   Savannah is returning to work tomorrow for the first time since her mom went missing with the joy of knowing that Jesus is with her to help her in this new journey.
 
So, today, we celebrate much more than an empty tomb.  In fact, we celebrate even more than the resurrection of our Lord.  We celebrate and give thanks for his living presence among us, and his promise to be with us always.  Wherever our journey takes us, our risen Lord goes before us. 
For Christ is risen.  He is risen indeed.  Alleluia.
 
 
Video: Because He Lives 
 
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 Sav-iour 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 brings
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.
 
And then one day, I’ll cross the river
I’ll fight life’s final war with pain
And then, as death gives way to victory
I’ll see the lights of glory and I’ll know He reigns.
 
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.
 
And life is worth the living, just because He lives.

Sacrament of Communion

 

As your Sacramental Elder, I wish to inform you that this is not our table; it is Christ’s table. And because it’s Christ’s table all of us are welcome here. At this table, you do not have to worship a certain way, look a certain way, or love a certain way. You do not have to believe what I believe, or what, the person sitting next to you believes. You just have to come, exactly as you are, seeking the one who is seeking you. So come, all of you, not because you must, but because you may, and when you come, may you find healing and wholeness for your journey.
 
Christ, the One who was there before the universe was called into creation; Christ, who was anticipated by the prophets and prepared for by the peo-ple; Christ, who was born in a manger, baptized in the Jordan, and who calmed storms on the sea of Galilee; Christ, who fed us all with word, with healing, with loaves and fishes; Christ, who saved us with a cross and an empty tomb; Christ, who never faded, never abandoned, never truly left us; Christ, of love, it is with you, and because of you, and in cele-bration of you, that we come to your table this morn-ing. And gathered as we will, we pray: Come, Holy Spirit, come. Consecrate this loaf and this juice. Bless all of us in our eating and drinking at this table, that our eyes may be opened, that we may recognize the risen Christ in our midst, and in each other, and be united with all for whom Christ died. Amen.
 
And so, we remember that on the morning of Je-sus’ resurrection, the women took spices that had been prepared and went to his tomb. There, they found that the stone had been rolled away and that his tomb was now empty. There, they found two men, with faces shining like lightning, who said to them: “why do you look for the living among the dead?” There, the women remembered Jesus’ words, that: “the Son of man must be crucified and on the third day be raised again.” 
And so, this morning, we remember the story of Jesus’ resurrection and the story leading up to it. And remembering this story, we come to this table, and we break bread and pour juice, and we are made whole, and we give thanks that everything Jesus did was for love and for us.
We remember that on the night before he died, Jesus ate with his friends.  He took a loaf of bread, and after blessing it, he broke it and gave it to them, saying; “Take, eat.  This is my body, given for you.  Each time you do this, remember me.”
That same night, Jesus also took a cup, and after giving thanks, passed it to his friends, saying: “Drink. This cup, poured out for you, is the promise of God.  Whenever you drink it, remember me.”

With great joy this morning, I proclaim in Jesus’ name that these are the gifts of God, for you, the people of God. Come, for all things are ready.

PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING AND LORD’S PRAYERS – 

Christ, to this table we have come. At this table we have been fed. Because of this table we have been made whole. With love found at this table, we pray, silently in our hearts or aloud,  for those who need you this morning:___________O Lord, From this table we will sing your glory as Easter people, giving thanks for your saving love, and praying as you taught us to pray, saying, 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 tres-passes, 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, for ever and ever. Amen

 
 
 

 

Offering Invitation 

Radiant God, whose love endures forever, as we gather today in the light of resurrection, let us present the offering of our gifts as a response to the abundant grace we have received. In this period of spiritual renewal, may our giving reflect the joy of the empty tomb and the promise of life everlasting. Let us dedicate these gifts to God’s service, trusting that, in his hands, they will bring forth new life.  Our offering will now be presented.
 
 
 Offertory Hymn MV # 191  What Can I Do?

What can I do?  What can I bring?
What can I say?  What can I sing?
I’ll sing with joy.  I’ll say a prayer.
I’ll bring my love.  I’ll do my share.  (twice)

 

 

 

*Offertory Prayer 

 Mighty God of Resurrection and Redemption, we offer our gifts alongside our alleluias! We offer our hands and feet and voices to take the celebration out of this place into a world that needs hope so desperately! May we go into the world with such energy, excitement, and power that the people will see in us your redeeming love and the tri-umph of light over darkness! In the name of the risen Christ, we pray. Amen.
 

*Closing Hymn:  VU # 586 We Shall Go Out with Hope of Resurrection

 

 1  We shall go out with hope of resurrection;we shall go out, from strength to strength go on;we shall go out and tell our stories boldly;tales of a love that will not let us go.
We’ll sing our songs of wrongs that can be right-ed;
we’ll dream our dreams of hurts that can be healed;
we’ll weave a cloth of all the world united
within the vision of new life in Christ.
 
2  We’ll give a voice to those who have not spoken;
we’ll find the words for those whose lips are sealed;
we’ll make the tunes for those who sing no longer,
expressive love alive in every heart.
We’ll share our joy with those who still are weep-ing,
raise hymns of strength for hearts that break in grief,
we’ll leap and dance the resurrection story,
including all in circles of our love.
 
 *Benediction & Commissioning 

 And now, may the God of peace,
who brought back again from the dead, our Lord Je-sus, equip us with all we need for doing his will.
May he produce in us, through the power of Jesus Christ, all that is pleasing to him.
Let us go in the peace and love of our Lord. 
Happy Easter!  Amen.

 
 *Sung Benediction  VU # 224 Sing  a Happy Hal-lelujah vs 1

 1  Sing a happy hallelujah,
sing it out with heart and style,
we’re the echo of God’s laughter,
we’re the image of God’s smile.
 
Hallelujah, all creation,
hallelujah everyone!
Hallelujah, all creation,
hallelujah everyone!
