Invocation
Leader: Why do you look for the
living among the dead?
He is not here; the Lord has risen!

indeed!
Leader: The Lord is risen!
Congregation: He is risen
indeed!
Leader: Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your
sting? Death has been swallowed
up in victory. The Lord
is risen!

He is risen indeed!
“Resurrection Morning”
Matthew 28:1-8
Leader: After the Sabbath, at
dawn on the first day of the week,
Mary Magdalene and the
other Mary went to look at the tomb.
Congregation:
There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of
the Lord came down
from heaven and, going to the tomb,
rolled back the
stone and sat on it.
Leader:
His appearance was like lightning, and his
clothes were
white as snow. The
guards were so afraid of him that they
shook and became like
dead men.
Congregation:
The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid,
for I know that you
are looking for Jesus, who was
crucified. He is not
here; He has risen, just as he said.
Leader:
Come and see the place where he lay. Then go
quickly and
tell his disciples: 'He
has risen from the dead and is going
ahead of you into
Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I
have told you."
Congregation:
So the women hurried away from the tomb,
afraid yet filled
with joy, and ran to tell his disciples.
