Call to worship<\/h3>\n

This is the day:
\nwhen tears are wiped away;
\nshattered hearts are mended;
\nfears are replaced with joy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the day the Lord:
\nrolls away the stone of fear;
\nthrows off death’s clothes;
\ngoes ahead of us into God’s future.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the day the Lord has made:
\ndeath has no fear for us;
\nsin has lost its power over us;
\nGod opens the tombs of our hearts
\nto fill us with life.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the day – Easter Day!
\nChrist is Risen! Hallelujah!<\/strong><\/p>\n
