Call to Worship for Easter Sunday
We
are not eye-witnesses to an event,
as
were Mary and the disciples;
we
have not journeyed
through
a dangerous city
to
seek answers or consolation;
we
have not seen angels
gathering
at the rim of this day,
or
wept in the garden this morning
because
we could not find Him.
But
we are here to attest to a story
that
has not lost its power
during
twenty centuries
of
change and conflict.
We
are here because those before us
carried
this story
as
if it were precious gold;
cherished
it as if it were
the
key to a hidden wisdom.
Sisters
and brothers in Christ,
take
your places here today
in
celebration and in awe.
What
you are about to hear again,
has
the capacity to change the world.
Your
very presence attests
to
the rising up of life
from
the tomb of despair,
and
to the uncontrollable power of God.
It
is Easter morning again:
and
we will celebrate.
