CALL TO WORSHIP

“Come Up Onto This Rock” ...

I waited patiently for the LORD;
he turned to me and heard my cry.
He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.
Psalm 40 :1,2


Forty Days

After his suffering, he presented himself to them 
and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. 
He appeared to them over a period of forty days 
and spoke about the kingdom of God.
Acts 1:3

OPENING PRAYER

In these early days after the resurrection, we wonder what it all means.
We can relate to the women who fled the tomb with terror and amazement.
We understand Thomas and his need for proof that would come
only by touching the wounds and seeing the nail marks.
We understand the fear and confusion
that kept the disciples in the shadow cast by closed doors. 
We also keep company with the travellers on the Emmaus road
who felt the strange burning of the truth and hope and love
weaving into the sadness that consumed them on their walk.
We find ourselves in the eternal movement
between fear and faith, doubt and conviction, wonder and worry,
and we trust that you are present with us, O God.
We trust that like the disciples we will be able to stand
and tell the whole message about this life that:
Love is stronger than hate
Life has the final word over death
Beyond what we can see with our eyes,
there is a bond of Your Holy Spirit that draws and keeps us together. 
It is a complicated and frightening world. 
Strengthen us as we stand and bear witness to this whole life,
​the life of the Risen One, even Jesus Christ Our Lord. 
​Amen.

HYMN​

See, what a morning, gloriously bright,
With the dawning of hope in Jerusalem;
Folded the grave-clothes, tomb filled with light,
As the angels announce, “Christ is risen!”
See God’s salvation plan,
Wrought in love, borne in pain, paid in sacrifice,
Fulfilled in Christ, the Man,
For He lives: Christ is risen from the dead!


See Mary weeping, “Where is He laid?”
As in sorrow she turns from the empty tomb;
Hears a voice speaking, calling her name;
It’s the Master, the Lord raised to life again!
The voice that spans the years,
Speaking life, stirring hope, bringing peace to us,
Will sound till He appears,
For He lives: Christ is risen from the dead!


One with the Father, Ancient of Days,
Through the Spirit who clothes faith with certainty.
Honor and blessing, glory and praise
To the King crowned with pow’r and authority!
And we are raised with Him,
Death is dead, love has won, Christ has conquered;
And we shall reign with Him,
For He lives: Christ is risen from the dead!

Song Background
See what a Morning was written by Stuart Townend and Keith Getty.
This is what they say about the song :
Keith: I wanted to write a triumphant melody, and as soon as I came up with this idea I heard 'Resurrection' - a song that could be sung on Easter morning or at the beginning of a time of worship, which excites us to the truth that Christ is risen. Stuart and I have enjoyed writing story songs together, and we chatted and decided this would be a great melody for the Resurrection story.
Stuart: Keith sent me through this melody with some lyrical thematic ideas. I really wanted to convey the immediacy of the Easter morning experience, and how that morning changed history forever. The third verse is a response of praise as we realise the amazing consequence of Christ's resurrection for our lives, drawing us into relationship with the triune God.

READING

Luke 24:13-35 Read by Jim Anderson
​The Disciples Meet Jesus On The Road To Emmaus

The Offerring?

While trying to find a Benediction for the end of the service, I also found this offering prayer, And thought, “What a shame that we cannot use it in our service.”.
Then I realised that Many of us continue to give ouroffering each week, either by Standing Order or by sending cheques, and that is greatly appreciated. Giving is a vital part of our worship to God, and is not just limited to our money, each time we worship the money is really a symbol of our lives given to God. 
So in acknowledgement of our sacrifice of worship today we pray.

Offering Prayer
(inspired by Luke 24:13-35)
Like the disciples at Emmaus,
we offer what we have.
They offered their company,
their table, their bread.

We invite you to be with us, Jesus, 
as we offer you our love,
our devotion, these gifts.
May our eyes be opened
to your holy presence among us, 
now and always.  
Amen.

Praise - Eileen O’Neill

Eileen will now play two pieces to remind us that God is with us especially through these uncertain times.

In Times Like These

In times like these you need a Savior
In times like these you need an anchor
Be very sure, be very sure
Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock!

This Rock is Jesus, Yes He's the One
This Rock is Jesus, the only One
Be very sure, be very sure
Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock!

It Is Well With My Soul

When peace like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say

It is well, it is well, with my soul
It is well
With my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul

Children’s Message

It is very easy not to recognise people people at the moment if they are wearing scarves or masks, but much worse if like the disciples on their way to Emmaus, we don’t recognise Jesus.

Prayer For Others

A prayer for revival in our own hearts and a prayer for the Holy Spirit to come sweeping through us.

PRAISE - Jesus Christ Is Risen Today
1 Jesus Christ is ris'n today, Alleluia!
our triumphant holy day, Alleluia!
who did once upon the cross Alleluia!
suffer to redeem our loss. Alleluia!

2 Hymns of praise then let us sing Alleluia!
unto Christ our heav'nly King, Alleluia!
who endured the cross and grave, Alleluia!
sinners to redeem and save. Alleluia!

3 But the pains which he endured, Alleluia!
our salvation have procured; Alleluia!
now above the sky he's King, Alleluia!
where the angels ever sing. Alleluia!

4 Sing we to our God above Alleluia!
praise eternal as his love; Alleluia!
praise him, all ye heav'nly host, Alleluia!
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Alleluia!

Message

GOD IS SOVEREIGN
GOD IS GOOD
GOD IS LOVING
GOD IS FAITHFUL
GOD DOES NOT ABANDON US

GOD IS SOVEREIGN
For by him all things were created, 
in heaven and on earth, 
visible and invisible, 
whether thrones or dominions 
or rulers or authorities--
all things were created through him and for him. 
And he is before all things, 
and in him all things hold together. 
Colossians 1:16–17

GOD IS GOOD
Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; 
blessed is the man who trusts in Him! 
Psalm 34:8

GOD IS LOVING
16 For God so loved the world 
that he gave his one and only Son, 
that whoever believes in him 
shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16

GOD IS FAITHFUL
He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
Psalms 91:4-6

GOD DOES NOT ABANDON US
Have I not commanded you? 
Be strong and courageous. 
Do not be frightened, 
and do not be dismayed, 
for the Lord your God 
is with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1:9

HYMN - Because He Lives.

God sent His son, they called Him Jesus
He came to love, heal and forgive
He lived and died to buy my pardon
An empty grave is there to prove my savior lives

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow
Because He lives, all fear is gone
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living, just because He lives

How sweet to hold a newborn baby
And feel the pride and joy He gives
But greater still the calm assurance
This child can face uncertain day, because He lives

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow
Because He lives, all fear is gone
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living, just because He lives

And then one day, I'll cross the river
I'll fight life's final war with pain
And then, as death gives way to victory
I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He reigns

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow
Because He lives, all fear is gone
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living, just because He lives

I can face tomorrow
Because He lives, all fear is gone
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living, just because He lives

BENEDICTION
(inspired by Luke 24:13-35)

Go now as those who have met with Christ
in the morning of this day.
Go now as those who hearts have burned within them,
as the Scriptures were explained.
Go now as those
who have been touched by resurrection.
And may the blessing of God
be upon you, body, mind and spirit,
as you leave this place,
Amen.
