Here’s a
call to worship for Easter Sunday from Ann Siddall.
Call to Worship for
Easter Morning
For those
who first went out
into the
early dawn, when the sky was grey,
taking
spices to the tomb,
there was
terror, and surprise.
For us,
resisting the impulse to sleep in
as part of
a long weekend,
and being
over-familiar with the Easter story,
there is
the risk of complacency.
So let us
open ourselves
to the
astounding possibility
that life
can break out
at any
moment!
Let us
challenge the thought
that we
have planned the future
so
efficiently that
there will
be no surprises!
Let us face
the fact
that the
walls of this church,
and the
life of our institution
cannot
entirely contain Jesus Christ!
Let us
celebrate
the
irrepressible power of God
breaking
out with life
where we
least expect it!
