One: This day is like every other day.

All: Alarm clocks beeped. Covers were removed.
      Coffee was brewed. Weary bodies came to life.


One: And yet this day is like no other day.

All: For the sun rose, and we knew it was a miracle.
       The tomb was empty, and they knew it was love.


One: So again and again we say...

All: The longest night is over. Death has lost its sting.
      Jesus is among us. Alleluia! Amen.


One: Again and again and again…

All: Alleluia! Amen.

Anthem: 

"Hope Will Rise Again"
 
Scripture:  Mark 16:1-8
Cameron Rike

When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they could go and anoint Jesus’ dead body. Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they came to the tomb. They were saying to each other, “Who’s going to roll the stone away from the entrance for us?” When they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away. (And it was a very large stone!) Going into the tomb, they saw a young man in a white robe seated on the right side; and they were startled. But he said to them, “Don’t be alarmed! You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has been raised. He isn’t here. Look, here’s the place where they laid him. Go, tell his disciples, especially Peter, that he is going ahead of you into Galilee. You will see him there, just as he told you.” Overcome with terror and dread, they fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.
