EASTER SUNRISE
April 20, 2025
Call to Worship (congregation reads the bold print)
God is good!
All the time!
And all the time!
God is good!
Give thanks to the Lord, for God is good.
Let all the people proclaim,
“God’s steadfast love endures forever!”
God’s steadfast love endures forever!
The Lord is my strength, my song, and my salvation!
Shouts of joy resound in the tents of the righteous!
God’s steadfast love endures forever!
The Lord’s right hand has done mighty things!
We will not die but live.
We will proclaim what the Lord has done.
We enter the gates of the Lord and give thanks,
for this is the day the Lord has made!
Let us rejoice and be glad in it!

Opening Chorus: “This Is The Day” #657
Opening Prayer (Everyone read):
Holy and Living God,
like a tomb’s darkness that gives way to light,
open us this day to newness of life;
open us to your love, to your acceptance,
to your forgiveness, to your peace;
open us to one another,
and to the possibilities
you have in store for us.
Give us hope for the future
and a passion for life here and now.
We pray in the name
of the One who destroyed death,
Jesus Christ, our Savior. Amen.
