READING Psalm 118:1-2, 19-29, Mark 11:1-11
CALL TO WORSHIP
Mighty God, in whom we know the power of redemption, you stand among us in the shadows of our time.
All: As we move through every sorrow and trial of this life, uphold us with knowledge of the final morning when, in the glorious presence of your risen Son, we will share in his resurrection, redeemed and restored to the fullness of life and forever freed to be your people. Amen.
PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE
God of the bright and morning star, God of the rising sun,
God of darkness banished, we praise and worship you!
All: For empty tombs: thank you! For disciples running with good news: thank you! For your presence, alive, powerful, resurrected: thank you! We celebrate your victory over death, over all the powers that would defeat us.
Prayers of the People
Help us to grasp resurrection; to understand its power, to see its force at work in our world, overturning evil empires, changing the hatred within us, moving the world slowly, forcefully, bending us towards love and truth. Strengthening us to follow in the footsteps of our Risen Lord, who taught us…
