Resurrection Tuesday service planning

[Shawn Koester]

Brothers and sisters, a few days ago, I got an email from the worship council coordinator of my seminary that invited me to preach and lead Easter service for Chapel on April 25, 2017 because chapel is held on Tuesdays and it will feature Communion. Service will start at 4:15 and end at around 4:45. My Scriptures are 1 Corinthians 5:6-8, Luke 24:13-49.

These are the hymns and choruses I can draw from based on the texts:

[Dave Roberts]

I will be quite interested in how you flesh this one out. I see a lot of potential in what you have offered so far. Blessings on your work.

[Tim Bonney]

I will keep you in my prayers. Congratulations on being asks to lead the service!

These hymns may or may not be in your tradition but are appropriate for the sacrament and Easter.

O Thou Who This Mysterious Bread
Come, Ye Sinners, to the Gospel Feast
Let Us Break Bread Together
One Bread, One Body
This Is the Feast of Victory
Gather Us In

If you are interested in any of them let me know and I'll tell you where they can be found. (Or ignore if none of these fit what you are working on. )

Call to Worship Rosie Guadarrama
Leader: He is risen! 
All: He is risen indeed! Hallelujah! 
Leader: The stone is rolled away, and we are perplexed.
All: The grave cloths are lying in the tomb, and we cannot fathom what has happened.
Leader: Can the words be true? 
All: Dare we believe the Good news of resurrection? 
Leader: Christ has risen!
All: He is risen indeed! Hallelujah! 

Opening Prayer Sally Willis Watkins

Almighty and ever-living God, 
We gather to marvel at the mystery of Christ’s resurrection.
In boldness, you exalted the humble, empowering the weak.
In strength you snatched victory from the jaws of death.
In love you declared your crucified Son, the Savior of the world. We celebrate the good news in an Easter festival of life. With you we join in this joyful day. In Christ’s name we pray, Amen! 

Opening Hymn Mighty to Save
by Ben Fielding and Reuben Morgan
