Vibrant Tradition ▲Call to Worship One: Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life.” Many: Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. One: Christ is risen! Many: Christ is risen, indeed! ▲Hymn of Grace
All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name Hymnal, 154 (vs. 1-4)
▲Unison Prayer (From Christo Vive) Christ is risen! Christ is living! Dry your tears; be unafraid! Death and darkness could not hold him, nor the tomb in which he lay. Do not look among the dead for one who lives forevermore. Tell the world that Christ is risen, make it known he goes before! ▲Hymn of Grace
