Let us pray.

 O God, who for our redemption gave your only-begotten Son to the death of the cross, and by his glorious resurrection delivered us from the power of our enemy: Grant us so to die daily to sin, that we may evermore live with him in the joy of his resurrection; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

The Lessons The people sit.A Reading from the Acts of the Apostles.

34Peter began to speak to [Cornelius and the other Gentiles]: “I truly understand that God shows no partiality, 35but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him. 36You know the message he sent to the people of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all. 37That message spread throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John announced: 38how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power; how he went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. 39We are witnesses to all that he did both in Judea and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree; 40but God raised him on the third day and allowed him to appear, 41not to all the people but to us who were chosen by God as witnesses, and who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. 42He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one ordained by God as judge of the living and the dead. 43All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.” Reader

Thanks be to God.

Psalm 118:1-2, 14-24 1Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; *  his mercy endures for ever.  2Let Israel now proclaim, *

  “His mercy endures for ever.”  14The LORD is my strength and my song, *  and he has become my salvation.  15There is a sound of exultation and victory *  in the tents of the righteous: 16“The right hand of the LORD has triumphed! *  the right hand of the LORD is exalted!  the right hand of the LORD has triumphed!” 17I shall not die, but live, *  and declare the works of the LORD. 18The LORD has punished me sorely, *  but he did not hand me over to death. 19Open for me the gates of righteousness; *  I will enter them;  I will offer thanks to the LORD. 20“This is the gate of the LORD; *  he who is righteous may enter.” 21I will give thanks to you, for you answered me *  and have become my salvation. 22The same stone which the builders rejected *  has become the chief cornerstone. 23This is the LORD’s doing, *  and it is marvelous in our eyes. 24On this day the LORD has acted; *  we will rejoice and be glad in it.

A Reading from Paul's First letter to the Church in Corinth.19If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.  20But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have died. 21For since death came through a human being, the resurrection of the dead has also come through a human being; 22for as all die in Adam, so all will be made alive in Christ. 23But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. 24Then comes the end, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father, after he has destroyed every ruler and every authority and power. 25For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26The last enemy to be destroyed is death. Reader

Glory to you, Lord Christ.

 1Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb. 2So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.” 3Then Peter and the other disciple set out and went toward the tomb. 4The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. 5He bent down to look in and saw the linen wrappings lying there, but he did not go in. 6Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen wrappings lying there, 7and the cloth that had been on Jesus’ head, not lying with the linen wrappings but rolled up in a place by itself. 8Then the other disciple, who reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; 9for as yet they did not understand the scripture, that he must rise from the dead. 10Then the disciples returned to their homes.

  11But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb. As she wept, she bent over

7

to look into the tomb; 12and she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had been lying, one at the head and the other at the feet. 13They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.” 14When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus. 15Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?” Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.” 16Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to him in Hebrew, “Rabbouni!” (which means Teacher). 17Jesus said to her, “Do not hold on to me, because I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’ ” 18Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord”; and she told them that he had said these things to her. Deacon

 THE SERMON – The Rev. Charlie Barebo

The Renewal of Baptismal VowsPlease stand as you are able

Deacon: Through the Paschal mystery, we are buried with Christ by Baptism into his death, and raised with him to newness of life. Through our Lenten journey we have sought Christ’s grace to unbind our hearts and minds from those things that prevent us from loving God with all that we are and loving our neighbors as ourselves. With a renewed awareness of God in our daily lives, let us renew our baptismal covenant with God and draw closer to God and one another.

Deacon: Do you reaffirm your renunciation of evil and renew your commitment to Jesus Christ?All: I do.

Deacon: Do you believe in God the Father? All:        I believe in God, the Father almighty,                    creator of heaven and earth.

Deacon:  Do you believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God? All:       I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.                   He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit                  and born of the Virgin Mary.                 

He suffered under Pontius Pilate,                     was crucified, died, and was buried.                  He descended to the dead.                  On the third day he rose again.                 

He ascended into heaven,                  and is seated at the right hand of the Father.                   He will come again to judge the living and the dead.Deacon: Do you believe in God the Holy Spirit? All:       I believe in the Holy Spirit,                   the holy catholic Church,                   the communion of saints,                   the forgiveness of sins,                   the resurrection of the body,                   and the life everlasting.

Deacon:  Will you continue in the apostles' teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in the prayers?

All:        I will, with God's help.Deacon:   Will you persevere in resisting evil, and, whenever you fall

into sin, repent and return to the Lord?All:        I will, with God's help.

Deacon:   Will you proclaim by word and example the Good News of God in Christ?

All:        I will, with God's help.

Deacon:   Will you seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving your neighbor as yourself?

All:        I will, with God's help.

Deacon:   Will you strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being?

All:        I will, with God's help.

Deacon: May Almighty God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has given us a new birth by water and the Holy Spirit, and bestowed upon us the forgiveness of sins, keep us in eternal life by his grace, in Christ Jesus our Lord.All: Amen.
