April 11, 2021 Worship Outline
Alleluia! Christ is risen!
He is risen indeed! Alleluia!
Call to Worship
We gather as people on a journey.
We believe & we have doubts,
we do good & we sin.
We are imperfect humans,
and still beloved by God.
Love and grace. Hope and faith.
These are the essence of the one we call God.
We seek forgiveness & grace from
the One and from those we’ve harmed.
Assured of that grace,
we are ready to grow again.
We yearn for a new way,
a new perspective,
and a clear path.
Though we are full of trust
and full of doubt, we are here.
Speak to us, God!
Continue creating us!
Inspire our hearts.
Enlighten our minds.
Guide our actions. Amen
Opening Prayer
Song of Worship “My Redeemer Lives”
I know He rescued my soul.
His blood has covered my sin.
I believe I believe!
My shame He's taken away.
My pain is healed in His name.
I believe I believe!
I'll raise a banner, 'Cause my Lord has conquered the grave!
My Redeemer lives!
My redeemer lives!
My redeemer lives!
My redeemer lives!
You lift my burdens,
I’ll rise with You
I’m dancing on this mountaintop,
to see Your kingdom come!
Passing of the Peace
Scripture: John 20:19-31

Sending Song “I Come With Joy a Child of God” #550
I come with joy a child of God
Forgiven loved and free
The life of Jesus to recall
In love laid down for me
In love laid down for me
I come with Christians far and near
To find as all are fed
The new community of love
In Christ’s communion bread
in Christ’s communion bread
As Christ breaks bread
and bids us share
Each proud division ends
The love that made us, makes us one
And strangers now are friends
And strangers now are friends
The Spirit of the risen Christ
Unseen but ever near
Is in such friendship better known
Alive among us here
Alive among us here
Together met together bound
By all that God has done
We’ll go in joy to give the world
The love that makes us one
The love that makes us one

Benediction
