O God, who for our redemption gave your only-begotten Son to the death of the cross, and by his glorious resurrection delivered us from the power of our enemy: Grant us so to die daily to sin, that we may evermore live with him in the joy of his resurrection; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Please be seated.

FIRST READING Acts 10:34–43

Peter began to speak to them: “I truly understand that God shows no partiality, but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him. You know the message he sent to the people of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all. That message spread throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John announced: how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power; how he went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. We are witnesses to all that he did both in Judea and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree; but God raised him on the third day and allowed him to appear, not to all the people but to us who were chosen by God as witnesses, and who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one ordained by God as judge of the living and the dead. All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”

The Word of the Lord.Thanks be to God.

PSALM 118:1–2, 14–24

The response is sung first by the cantor, then by all as indicated. Chant by Henry Ley

1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his mercy endures for ever.2 Let Israel now proclaim, “His mercy endures for ever.” 14 The Lord is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation. 15 There is a sound of exultation and victory in the tents of the righteous: Response

16 “The right hand of the Lord has triumphed! the right hand of the Lord is exalted! the right hand of the Lord has triumphed!”17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord. 18 The Lord has punished me sorely, but he did not hand me over to death.19 Open for me the gates of righteousness; I will enter them I will offer thanks to the Lord. Response

20 “This is the gate of the Lord; he who is righteous may enter.”21 I will give thanks to you, for you answered me and have become my salvation. 22 The same stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone.23 This is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes.24 On this day the Lord has acted; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Response

SECOND READING 1 Corinthians 15:19–26

If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied. But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have died. For since death came through a human being, the resurrection of the dead has also come through a human being; for as all die in Adam, so all will be made alive in Christ. But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. Then comes the end, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father, after he has destroyed every ruler and every authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death.

The Word of the LordThanks be to God.

HYMN • 210 The day of resurrection! Ellacombe Brass parts by Gerry Senechal

The day of resurrection! Earth, tell it out abroad;the Passover of gladness, the Passover of God.From death to life eternal, from earth unto the sky,our Christ hath brought us over with hymns of victory.

Our hearts be pure from evil, that we may see arightthe Lord in rays eternal of resurrection light;and, listening to his accents, may hear so calm and plainhis own “All hail!” and, hearing, may raise the victor strain.

Now let the heavens be joyful, let earth her song begin,the round world keep high triumph, and all that is therein;let all things seen and unseen their notes together blend,for Christ the Lord is risen, our joy that hath no end.

Children ages 6 through 11 process to Hampton Hall for Children’s Chapel, returning at the Peace.

THE HOLY GOSPEL Luke 24:1–12

A priest reads the Gospel, saying The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke. Glory to you, Lord Christ.

On the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, taking the spices that they had prepared. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in, they did not find the body. While they were perplexed about this, suddenly two men in dazzling clothes stood beside them. The women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be handed over to sinners, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.” Then they remembered his words, and returning from the tomb, they told all this to the eleven and to all the rest. Now it was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles. But these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them. But Peter got up and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; then he went home, amazed at what had happened.

The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Christ.

THE SERMON The Rev. Dr. R. Leigh Spruill

Please stand, as you are able, for the Creed.

THE NICENE CREED

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord Jesus Christ the only Son of God,

7

eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead,

and the life of the world to come. Amen.

THE PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE, FORM III BCP, p. 387

Father, we pray for your holy Catholic Church;That we all may be one.

Grant that every member of the Church may truly and humbly serve you;That your Name may be glorified by all people.

We pray for all bishops, priests, and deacons;That they may be faithful ministers of your Word and Sacraments.

We pray for all who govern and hold authority in the nations of the world;That there may be justice and peace on the earth.

Give us grace to do your will in all that we undertake;That our works may find favor in your sight.

Have compassion on those who suffer from any grief or trouble; That they may be delivered from their distress;

Give to the departed eternal rest;Let light perpetual shine upon them.

We praise you for your saints who have entered into joy;May we also come to share in your heavenly kingdom.

Let us pray for our own needs and those of others. You are invited to add your own intercessions and thanksgivings, either silently or aloud.

Silence is kept.

THE FESTIVAL DOXOLOGY Lasst uns erfreuen

THE GREAT THANKSGIVING Eucharistic Prayer B BCP, p. 367

The Lord be with you.And also with you.Lift up your hearts.We lift them to the Lord.Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.It is right to give him thanks and praise.

It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; but chiefly are we bound to praise you for the glorious resurrection of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord; for he is the true Paschal Lamb, who was sacrificed for us, and has taken away the sin of the world. By his death he has destroyed death, and by his rising to life again he has won for us everlasting life. Therefore we praise you, joining our voices with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven, who for ever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name:

The people sing Holy, holy, holy (Hymnal S128) Mathias

Please kneel or remain standing, as you are able.

We give thanks to you, O God, for the goodness and love which you have made known to us in creation; in the calling of Israel to be your people; in your Word spoken through the prophets; and above all in the Word made flesh, Jesus, your Son. For in these last days you sent him to be incarnate from the Virgin Mary, to be the Savior and Redeemer of the world. In him, you have delivered us from evil, and made us worthy to stand before you. In him, you have brought us out of error into truth, out of sin into righteousness, out of death into life.

10

On the night before he died for us, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread; and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, and said, “Take, eat: This is my Body, which is given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me.”

After supper he took the cup of wine; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and said, “Drink this, all of you: This is my Blood of the new Covenant, which is shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me.”

Therefore, according to his command, O Father,

We remember his death,We proclaim his resurrection,We await his coming in glory;

And we offer our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving to you, O Lord of all; presenting to you, from your creation, this bread and this wine. We pray you, gracious God, to send your Holy Spirit upon these gifts that they may be the Sacrament of the Body of Christ and his Blood of the new Covenant. Unite us to your Son in his sacrifice, that we may be acceptable through him, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit. In the fullness of time, put all things in subjection under your Christ, and bring us to that heavenly country where, with all your saints, we may enter the everlasting heritage of your sons and daughters; through Jesus Christ our Lord, the firstborn of all creation, the head of the Church, and the author of our salvation.

By him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and for ever. Amen.

And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say,

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, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

WELCOME TO WORSHIP

We invite newcomers to fill out a Connect Card, found in the pew rack, placing it in the offering plate or handing it to an usher or priest.

Nursery care is available for infants, toddlers, and two-year-olds during the 8:45, 9:00, and 11:15am services and during Sunday school at 10:05am. Childcare (for ages 3-5) is also available during the 8:45, 9:00, and 11:15am services.

Large Print Prayer Books and Hearing Assistance Aids are available in the church foyer. Ask an usher for help.

If you have a “T” switch that is compatible with audio induction systems on your hearing aids, you may switch it on in order to hear the service better.
