Easter Call to Worship, Prayer

Here is an Easter Sunday call to worship and prayer, written by Chris Heckert.

Call to Worship

Christ is risen.
Christ is risen indeed!
On this day, we celebrate that Jesus overcame death,
so that we may have new life.
Alleluia!  Christ is risen indeed!
Let us worship the risen Christ in spirit and in truth.

Easter Prayer

God of grace, form us into your Easter people.  
Too often we hang on to our own fear and despair. 
Forgive us when we fail to love others as you love us.  
Help us to live into the mystery of resurrection and new life
so that we may embody hope.  
Breathe into us your spirit,
as we live out your good news in this world.
Amen
