NICENE CREEDWe believe in one God,
the Father, the Almighty,maker of heaven and earth,of all that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,the only Son of God,eternally begotten of the Father,God from God, Light from Light,true God from true God,begotten, not made,of one Being with the Father;through him all things were made.For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the virgin Maryand became truly human.For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;he suffered death and was buried.On the third day he rose againin accordance with the scriptures;he ascended into heavenand is seated at the right hand of the Father.He will come again in glory to judge the living and the
dead,and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,who proceeds from the Father and the Son,who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and
glorified,who has spoken through the prophets.We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen.
Renewed in the promise of baptism, let us pray for the church, world and all who are in need. Kneeling as you are able.
PRAYERS OF INTERCESSION Each petition concludes “Hear us, O God.”We respond: Your mercy is great.
PEACEThe presiding minister and the assembly greet each other in the peace of the risen Christ.
The peace of Christ be with you always. And also with you.

OFFERTORY HYMN The Day of Resurrection! ELW 361
(verses 1 and 4)OFFERING PRAYER Risen One,
as you broke bread with the disciples on the shore,meet us now in this meal.Nourish us to follow you,using our gifts to feed the hungry and tend the weary,and all for your love’s sake.Amen.
THE GREAT THANKSGIVINGThe Lord be with you.And also with you.
Lift up your hearts.We lift them to the Lord.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.It is right to give our thanks and praise.
PREFACE It is indeed right, our duty and our joy,that we should at all times and in all placesgive thanks and praise to you, almighty and merciful God,for the glorious resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ,the true Paschal Lamb who gave himself to take away our sin;who in dying has destroyed death,and in rising has brought us to eternal life.And so, with Mary Magdalene and Peter and all the witnesses of the resurrection,with earth and sea and all their creatures,and with angels and archangels, cherubim and seraphim,we praise your name and join their unending hymn:
EUCHARISTIC PRAYERYou are indeed holy, almighty and merciful God.You are most holy, and great is the majesty of your glory…the prayer continues…For as often as we eat of this bread and drink from this cup,we proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
Remembering, therefore, his salutary command… the prayer continues…To you, O God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,be all honor and glory in your holy church, now and forever.
LORD’S PRAYER 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 trespasses,
as we forgive thosewho 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,forever and ever. Amen.
INVITATION TO COMMUNIONJesus Christ, risen from the dead,gives everyone a place at the welcome table.Alleluia! Come to the feast.

COMMUNION
All are welcome to join in communion, trusting that Christ promises to be truly present. Whole wheat communion bread is served. Gluten-free wafers are available upon request. Red communion wine is served: the first cup is a common cup (for drinking from) and the second cup is for intinction (dipping the bread). Those unable to partake of both elements are assured that the Church affirms our Lord’s full presence in, with, and under each element alone. Those who choose not to receive Communion are welcome to come forward for a blessing.
When giving the bread and cup, the communion ministers say:The body of Christ, given for you. The blood of Christ, shed for you. Amen.
