OPENING PRAYER: (in unison)
Living God,
You call us out of graves and breathe life into what feels dead within us.
Roll away the stones in our hearts.
Call us by name, and loosen the grave clothes that bind us—
fear, grief, and doubt.
By Your Spirit, bring us to life again,
that we may walk in Your freedom and light.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
