Restore us, O God! – Easter Sunday
We welcome all to this place for the
worship of God and for Christian fellowship.
Let
us worship God in spirit and in truth, reaching out to one another in Christ’s
love.
We
welcome our guests and visitors and hope you will join us again soon.
We live.
When our
hopes for what will bring life are shattered, we come to the tomb feeling lost,
confused, disillusioned, and afraid. But
it is precisely there that God meets us—revealed in the mystery of the risen
Christ. God, the Author of life,
empowers us to live fully and enables us to praise once again. We dance, we sing, we
proclaim: Christ is risen! Christ is risen,
indeed! Alleluia!
