PRAYER OF THE DAY

            O God, you gave your only Son to suffer death on the cross for our redemption, and by his glorious resurrec-
            tion you delivered us from the power of death. Make us die every day to sin, that we may live with him forev-
            er in the joy of the resurrection, through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and
            the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

SCRIPTURE READING                                                                            1 Corinthians 15:19-26

19
  If 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.

THE GOSPEL LESSON                                                                                          John 20:1-18

The Holy Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ according to St. John, the twentieth chapter. Glory to you, O Lord.

 1
  Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and saw that the stone had
 been removed from the tomb. 2So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved,
 and said to them, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him." 3Then
 Peter and the other disciple set out and went toward the tomb. 4The two were running together, but the other disciple
 outran Peter and reached the tomb first. 5He bent down to look in and saw the linen wrappings lying there, but he did
 not go in. 6Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen wrappings lying
 there, 7and the cloth that had been on Jesus' head, not lying with the linen wrappings but rolled up in a place by it-
 self. 8Then the other disciple, who reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; 9for as yet they did not
 understand the scripture, that he must rise from the dead. 10Then the disciples returned to their homes.
 11
   But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb; 12and she saw two angels
 in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had been lying, one at the head and the other at the feet. 13They said to her,
 "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have
 laid him." 14When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was
 Jesus. 15Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?" Supposing him to be the garden-
 er, she said to him, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away." 16Jesus
 said to her, "Mary!" She turned and said to him in Hebrew, "Rabbouni!" (which means Teacher). 17Jesus said to her, "Do
 not hold on to me, because I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, 'I am ascend-
 ing to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'" 18Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples,
 "I have seen the Lord"; and she told them that he had said these things to her.

HYMN OF THE DAY      Thine Is The Glory      ELW 376
PROFESSION OF FAITH                                                                                The Nicene Creed

 We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

 We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light
 from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things
 were made. For us and for our salvation He came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the virgin
 Mary and became truly human. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was bur-
 ied. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the
 right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no
 end.

 We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the
 Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.

 We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We
 look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. AMEN.

THE GREAT THANKSGIVING

It is indeed right, our duty and our joy, that we should at all times and in all places give thanks and praise to you, al-
mighty and merciful God, for the glorious resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ, the true Paschal Lamb who gave him-
self to take away our sin; who in dying has destroyed death, and in rising has brought us to eternal life. And so, with
Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, Salome, and all the witnesses of the resurrection, with earth and sea and all
their creatures, and with angels and archangels, cherubim and seraphim, we praise your name and join their unending
hymn:

WORDS OF INSTITUTION
THE LORD’S PRAYER

            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 tres-
            pass 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.
