Alleluia!” - 3 Verses - see screen Prayer of Confession: God of life, we confess that we often live as though the resurrection is behind us, and fear has the final word. We cling to what we can control, we hide behind locked doors of anxiety and doubt, we struggle to trust the peace you offer. Yet you come to us, not with condemnation, but with wounded hands extended in love. Speak your peace into our lives. Open our hearts to your presence, and help us live the rest of our lives in the peace of Your resurrection, in the name of Jesus, Amen.

Anthem - “Put Peace Into Each Other's Hands” (Holstein) Offering and the Lord’s Prayer Doxology Affirmation of Faith - by Rev. Sarah A. Speed: We believe in resurrection, mysterious, beyond our understanding, and yet, like tulips after the snow, real. We believe in Easter morning, in the promise of a God who would roll back every stone to return to us. We believe in Jesus, who calls us by name and asks, “Who are you looking for?” So we look for justice, for mercy, for God in our midst. And as we look, we sing, “Alleluia!” Amen.
