APRIL 8, 2012 - Easter Welcome and Announcements Personal Meditation Call To Worship But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen.” Luke 24:1-6 Invocation Christ the Lord Is Risen Today – Hymn no. 217 Jesus Lives, and so Shall I – Hymn no. 224 Offering: Instrumental Ensemble "Christ Arose" Grace Notes Choir: Behold the Man Congregational Singing Scripture Reading – 1 Corinthians 15:1-22 and Pastoral Prayer – Elder Joel Varano Message "What Difference Does It Make?"
