PRAYER OF THE DAY
Children's message
FIRST READING: Acts 10:34-43
34Then Peter began to speak to them: "I truly understand that God shows no partiality, 35but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him. 36You know the message he sent to the people of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all. 37That message spread throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John announced: 38how 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. 39We are witnesses to all that he did both in Judea and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree; 40but God raised him on the third day and allowed him to appear, 41not 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. 42He 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. 43All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name."

PSALM: Psalm 118:1-2, 14-24
2Let Israel | now declare, "God's mercy
en- | dures forever."
14The LORD is my strength | and my song, and
has become | my salvation.
15Shouts of rejoicing and salvation echo in the tents |
of the righteous:
"The right
hand of the | LORD acts valiantly!
16The right hand of the LORD | is exalted! The
right hand of the | LORD acts valiantly!"
17I shall not | die, but live, and declare
the works | of the LORD.
18The LORD indeed pun- | ished me sorely, but
did not hand me o- | ver to death.
19Open for me the | gates of righteousness; I
will enter them and give thanks | to the LORD.
20"This is the gate | of the LORD;here
the righ- | teous may enter."
21I give thanks to you, for you have |
answered me and you have become | my salvation.
22The stone that the build- | ers rejected has
become the chief | cornerstone.
23By the LORD has | this been done; it is
marvelous | in our eyes.
24This is the day that the | LORD has made; let
us rejoice and be | glad in it.

READING: 1
Corinthians 15:19-26
19If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.
20But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the
first fruits of those who have died. 21For since death came through
a human being, the resurrection of the dead has also come through a human
being; 22for as all die in Adam, so all will be made alive in
Christ. 23But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then
at his coming those who belong to Christ. 24Then comes the end, when
he hands over the kingdom to God the Father, after he has destroyed every ruler
and every authority and power. 25For he must reign until he has put
all his enemies under his feet. 26The last enemy to be destroyed is
death.
GOSPEL: Luke 24:1-12
1On the first day of the week, at early dawn, [the women] came to the tomb, taking the spices that they had prepared. 2They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3but when they went in, they did not find the body. 4While they were perplexed about this, suddenly two men in dazzling clothes stood beside them. 5The 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. 6Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, 7that the Son of Man must be handed over to sinners, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again." 8Then they remembered his words, 9and returning from the tomb, they told all this to the eleven and to all the rest. 10Now it was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles. 11But these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them. 12But 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.
SERMON
APOSTLES CREED
I believe in God, the
Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ,
God's only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born
of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified,
died, and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day
he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right
hand of the Father, and he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy
Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the
forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life
everlasting. Amen

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, forever
and ever. Amen
