Easter Day -Year C


CALL TO WORSHIP (from Psalm 118)
Give thanks to the LORD, who alone is good; 
whose steadfast love is everlasting! 
Let the gates of righteousness be opened
that I may enter through them and give thanks to the LORD. 
This is the gate of the LORD; 
the righteous shall enter through it. 
This is the day that the LORD has made; 
let us rejoice and be glad in it. 

Gracious and eternal God,
Let the silent mystery of your Spirit
surround, sustain and excite us.
Transform our gathering to your glory,
and perfect our worship for your praise.
We pray in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
 
 

CALL TO WORSHIP PSALM 118:1 ,2, 14-24
Give thanks to the LORD, who alone is good; 
whose steadfast love is everlasting! 
The LORD is my strength and my might;
the LORD is my salvation.
Let the gates of righteousness be opened
that I may enter through them and give thanks to the LORD. 
This is the gate of the LORD; the righteous shall enter through it. 
I thank you that you have answered me 
and have become my salvation.
The stone that the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone.
This is the LORD's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.
This is the day that the LORD has made; 
let us rejoice and be glad in it.
