Here’s a call to
worship for Easter from Ann Siddall. It
was posted on the Stillpoint Spirituality Centre website.
Call
to Worship for Easter Sunday:
A
Story that Changes the World
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.
