An Easter Sunday service

An Easter Sunday service

[Hymn numbers refer to Songs of Fellowship] 

Welcome to this short act of worship that we can celebrate in our own homes during this time of coronavirus lockdown. We share Easter worship with people all round the world who are in similar situations and equally difficult circumstances.

Christ is risen! Allelulia!

Hymn 61: Christ the Lord is risen today

Prayers of thanks, praise & confession

Do not let your hearts be troubled;
God forgives, welcomes & restores 
each one of us without distinction
when we come to him in Christ 

 The Lord's Prayer 
(see the Virtual Church page above)

Reading: John 20, verse 19

On the evening of the first day of the week ... 
Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!"

• It has been a hard few days and weeks
• Sunday brings some unexpected news
• The stone has been moved!

Take a moment to reflect on this: Jesus is alive!
A time of silence

Prayers of intercession

• for our world
• our community
• family and friends
• all the people doing essential jobs during the corona virus lockdown

Hymn 6: Allelulia, Allelulia, Give thanks to the risen Lord!

We ask a blessing

Christ is risen! Allelulia!
He is risen indeed! Allelulia! 

Thank you for sharing in this short service with us
