AN EASTER AFFIRMATION OF FAITH
|
Pastor Cathy Johns
We believe in a God who astounds us! God created towering mountains, sparkling sandy beaches,
lush green meadows, and dazzling wonders in the night sky. From the hummingbird to the whale, all Creation sings your praise. God surprises and astounds us in places where we expected God was absent.
We believe in Jesus, the Son of God, whose life, death, and resurrection transforms the world with the power of God’s love. His body, crucified and buried, was placed in a tomb. Three days later, he rose from the dead. Jesus, our Risen Savior, embraces us with new life saying, “Because I live, you also will live.”
We believe in the Holy Spirit who empowers us to be an Easter people, calling us to be witnesses to the Resurrection. The Spirit fills us with strength and sends us out to into the world to proclaim the good news: Christ is Risen! He is Risen indeed! Alleluia! Alleluia! Amen!

MORNING PRAYER
THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
SCRIPTURE
Matthew 28:1-10
| New Revised Standard Version, updated edition
1 After the Sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. 2 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord, descending from heaven, came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3 His appearance was like lightning and his clothing white as snow. 4 For fear of him the guards shook and became like dead men. 5 But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is not here, for he has been raised, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has been raised from the dead, and indeed he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him.’ This is my message for you.” 8 So they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy and ran to tell his disciples. 9 Suddenly Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” And they came to him, took hold of his feet, and worshiped him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers and sisters to go to Galilee; there they will see me.”
These are the words of God for us, the people of God. Thanks be to God.
