SON-RISE SERVICE BELLSHILL CENTRAL
SUNDAY 1ST APRIL 2018 ~ 9.00 a.m.

We gather on the decking outside. We have breakfast – shared – in the hall afterwards.

We gather quietly outdoors, imagine we’re in that garden where they laid Jesus on Good Friday. Here this morning to gather at the tomb. Let us sing reflectively a song celebrating the morning, God Creation here on earth for us all.

PRAISE: Morning has broken

PRAYER

Meditation ~ Sun Rise ~ Jesus the Gardner ~ A Cross of Flowers

We pause for a moment’s reflection before the responses begin.

Leader: The Lord is risen!
ALL: HE IS RISEN INDEED!
Leader: Death could not hold Him
ALL: IT WILL NOT HOLD US
Leader: Because He lives
ALL: WE TOO SHALL LIVE
Leader: Hallelujah!
ALL: PRAISE THE LORD

Meditation ~ A SIGN OF HOPE

POEM ~ There in God’s garden stands the Tree of Wisdom

PRAISE: He is Lord, He is Lord!! HE is risen from the dead and he is Lord.

Leader: On this Resurrection Day
ALL: EVERYTHING CHANGED
Leader: We’ve got Good News to share
ALL: WITH OUR FAMILIES, OUR FRIENDS & OUR COMMUNITY.
Leader: He is our Lord and our God
ALL: FOR EVER AND EVER, AMEN.

Together we say the Grace

The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
And the love of God our Father
And the Fellowship of the Holy Spirit
Be with us all, now and ever more
Amen.
