(Concluding Prayer)
† PRAYER OF CONFESSION Rev. Sigler
God of new life, we want to be filled with hope and joy, but often we overflow with fear and doubt. We want to embody the resurrection, but often we’d rather stay the same than begin again. We want to remember, but so often we do not. We want to have the courage to be like the women on that Easter morning – to run and speak truth, but often we are weary of courage and uncertain of our own voices. Forgive us for all the ways we remain unchanged. Break into our hearts and overflow here. † SILENCE FOR PERSONAL CONFESSION
† GLORIA Glory Be to the Father GLORIA PATRI Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen, Amen.

RESPONDING TO THE WORD
† AFFIRMATION OF FAITH
A Brief Statement of Faith
In life and in death we belong to God. Through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, we trust in the one triune God, the Holy One of Israel, whom alone we worship and serve. With believers in every time and place, we rejoice that nothing in life or in death can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. Amen.
† THE PEACE
One: The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Many: And also with you.

ANTHEM Most Glorious Lord of Life
Most glorious Lord of life, that on this day didst make thy triumph over death and sin, and having harrowed hell, didst bring away captivity thence captive, us to win. This joyous day, dear Lord, with joy begin, and grant that we for whom thou didest die, being with thy dear blood clean washed from sin, may live forever in felicity: And that thy love we weighing worthily, may likewise love thee for the same again; and for thy sake, for thy sake, that all like dear didst buy, with love may one another entertain. So let us love, dear Love, like as we ought; love is the lesson which the Lord us taught.
