Welcome and Announcements
Prelude “O Love That Will Not Let Me Go “ by Albert L. Peace (in the style of Felix Mendelssohn) arranged by Craig Courtney
Call to Worship
Blessed be the God and Father of our Saviour Jesus Christ. Truly, God has given us a new birth through the Risen One, even Jesus Christ. God has given us an inheritance, imperishable and unfading. In Christ we hope, in Him we rejoice. For the outcome of our faith in Christ is the salvation of our souls.
Hymn “Come, Christians, Join to Sing” No. 267 vs.1 & 3
1. Come, Christians, join to sing Alleluia! Amen! loud praise to Christ we bring; Alleluia! Amen! let all, with heart and voice, before his throne rejoice; praise is his gracious choice. Alleluia! Amen!
3. Praise yet our Christ again, Alleluia! Amen! life shall not end the strain; Alleluia! Amen! on heaven’s blissful shore, his goodness we’ll adore, singing forevermore, Alleluia! Amen!
Call to Confession
Jesus Christ, the risen one, calls us to faith in him, while we seek the worlds word for security. He invites us to trust Him, we see that as risk. He invites us to commitment, we see that as a percentage of our time. And yet held out to us are his promises of redemption through faith. Hear us, O loving Father, forgive and have mercy upon us this day.
A moment for silent reflection
Declaration of Forgiveness
By his great mercy, God our Father has given us a new birth through his resurrection of Jesus from the tomb. Because Christ died and was raised to new life, we are forgiven. Therefore, let everyone praise:
He is Risen! He is Risen, indeed!
Passing of the Peace (We will do this from our seats/pews)
The peace of Christ be with you.
And also with you.

April 11, 2021 Second Sunday of Easter

A People of Loving Hearts and Helping Hands

3. Now let the heavens be joyful! Let earth the song begin! Let the round world keep triumph, and all that is therein! Let all things seen and unseen their notes in gladness blend, for Christ the Lord hath risen, our joy that hath no end.
BENEDICTION
(Following the benediction, ushers will dismiss by rows. With apologies, the pastor will not greet at the door. Please practice safe distancing for a few more weeks!)

An Affirmation of Faith
(based on Ephesians 4: 1-16)
There is one hope, one calling, to which we are called. We believe that hope is Jesus the risen one. There is one hope, one calling, to which we are called. The call we choose to answer is God’s presence in our daily lives.
There is one faith, one hope, one Lord of us all. We believe that hope to be the Lord of our lives even Jesus Christ the risen one. There is one hope, one calling, to which we are called. So too, there is one baptism, one Father, one Saviour of us all, that One we love is Jesus the risen one.
We are one body, one family, one church. Woven by the Holy Spirit who is our daily presence. As Christ’s followers throughout all of the earth, We are one body in the unity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen
Offering of God’s People (There will be no formal passing of the offering trays— please drop your offering in the trays as you leave the service)
Closing Hymn “The Day of Resurrection!” No. 233 vs.1 & 3
1. 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.
