A Celebration of the Day of the
Resurrection of Our Lord
April 4, 2021
Christ is risen! Jesus is alive, and God has swallowed up death forever. With Mary Magdalene, Mary the
mother of James, and Salome, we may feel astonished and confused, unsure of what to make of the empty tomb.
But this is why we gather: to proclaim, witness, praise, and affirm the liberating reality of Christ’s death and
resurrection. In word and feast, we celebrate God’s unending love, and depart to share this good news with all
the world. Alleluia!

WELCOME!
A Special Note: The Chapel’s Mission and Vision
Our service is being Centered in Christ, the ministry of the Chapel of the Resurrection proclaims God’s love, serves students,
livestreamed to YouTube faculty, staff, and the wider community, and welcomes all.
today. Find the link at
Valpo.edu/chapel Worship Values & COVID-19 Protocols
Worship services at the Chapel will fully comply with all COVID-19 protocols established by Valparaiso
University in dialogue with Chapel staff. Face coverings, social distancing, and a special distribution
of Holy Communion are all part of this. All attending from off campus are subject to check in and
screening in the narthex (lobby). Visitors will be required to wear a visitor badge. Because we are now
being limited to having only 100 worshipers in our building, we will be pre-registering people for
worship each week until further notice. A link can be found on our website (valpo.edu/chapel) and
through Facebook. Please maintain three chairs vacant between yourself and others in your row who are
not part of your household or quarantine pod.
Holy Communion
Special precautions are being taken with the distribution of Holy Communion.
This Service of Word and Sacrament today in the Chapel of the Resurrection is sponsored by Valparaiso
University and conducted in accordance with Holy Scripture and the Lutheran Confessions. Lay
men and women—students, faculty, and staff—assist the pastors in conducting the worship services
and in carrying out the ministry in this community. The Holy Communion is celebrated here in the
confidence of receiving from our Lord all that he promises when he gives his body and blood to eat and
to drink. With such celebration goes the pastoral concern that all worshipers examine themselves lest
they contradict Christ by sin against him and his people. In the Sacrament we are most fully one with
Christ and with one another, and in this Meal we are nourished to live in faithfulness to Christ and his
Word and in forgiveness and in love toward one another. Because communion at the table of our Lord
is such a confession of faith, worshipers who are in doubt or who hold a differing confession of faith
and yet desire to receive the Sacrament should first consult with one of the pastors. No one is required to
commune. You also have the option to commune in one kind only (receiving either the bread or the wine
alone) or to receive a personal blessing at the altar.
Rest Rooms
Rest rooms are available in the Undercroft, down the spiral staircase off the narthex at the southwest end
of the building. Handicap accessible/family bathrooms are located in the Chapel narthex.
Offerings
The offerings received today fund the programming of the Chapel of the Resurrection’s student
ministries. You can scan the QR code (at left) to the link give.valpo.edu. Choose “other” and list
“Chapel offering” in the comment box. Those desiring to make an offering by check are asked to make
the check payable to “Valparaiso University” and include “Chapel Offering” in the memo line.

which was very large, had already been rolled back. As they entered the tomb,
they saw a young man, dressed in a white robe, sitting on the right side; and they
were alarmed. But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed; you are looking for Jesus
of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has been raised; he is not here. Look, there is
the place they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going ahead
of you to Galilee; there you will see him, just as he told you.” So they went out
