One:  O Lord, our God, you are worthy of all our praise.  You are the God who never fails to keep his promises.  We thank you that in Jesus' life, death and resurrection we see your love, justice, mercy, provision and victory.  You are the God who lifts up those who are weighed down.  You are the God who provides for your children.  Our desire is to praise you as long as we live  Inhabit our praises as we gather together today.  Through Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen.

With one voice let us confess our sins:  Wondrous God, we confess that at times our doubts and fears override our hope and faith.  Forgive us when we lose sight of the joy of Your love and instead fall into despair and gloom.  Lift up our spirits, Lord, and help us to remember the promise of new life here and now, not just the hope of resurrection for the future.  We give thanks for Your son, Jesus the Christ, who continues to offer us new life, who continues to turn us around and upside down, who continue to break down the walls of death in our own life.  Forgive us, restore us and renew us.  In the name of our risen Savior, Jesus the Christ, we pray.  Amen

One:  The tomb is empty.  The stone is rolled away.  There is no darkness now, only light.  God continues to renew us and restore us.  We are forgiven, loved and restored, receiving the gift and promise of new life and resurrection now.  Go and share the wondrous news of God's love in Jesus the Christ.  Amen

One:  Miraculous God, come to us now, even as your Son came to those first disciples on the shores of Galilee.  Speak your peace to our hearts.  Touch us with your Holy Spirit.  Reveal your word, that we may hear your message this day, and live as your disciples in the days and years to come.  In Christ's name we pray.  Amen

Worship service can be watched live at 10:30 on Vimeo, YouTube, Facebook or our webpage.   

Pastor J.C.'s message will be available Sunday at 10:30am.

The Christian life is an offering of one’s self to God. In the Lord’s Supper we are presented with the costly self-offering of Jesus Christ for the life of the world. As those who have been claimed and set free by grace  through faith, we now respond with gratitude; offering him our lives, our spiritual gifts, and our material goods. Friends, let us give prayerfully and cheerfully, out of our response to God's goodness in Jesus Christ!
