*Opening Hymn
Christ the Lord is risen today, Alleluia!
All creation join to say, Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia!
Sing, O heavens, and earth reply, Alleluia!
Lives again our glorious King, Alleluia!
Where, O death, is now your sting? Alleluia!
Jesus died our souls to save, Alleluia!
Where your victory, O grave? Alleluia!
Love's redeeming work is done, Alleluia!
Fought the fight, the battle won, Alleluia!
Death in vain forbids him rise, Alleluia!
Christ has opened paradise, Alleluia!
Soar we now where Christ has led, Alleluia!
Following our exalted Head, Alleluia!
Jesus died our souls to save, Alleluia!
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies, Alleluia!

God of all creation, for the life which springs up, beyond our wildest dreams,
We celebrate this day, for life has conquered death and Jesus Christ is risen.
God of saving power, for the love that is stronger than death or the grave,
We celebrate this day, for the stone has been rolled away and Jesus Christ is risen.
God of healing mercy, for the grace that is given to bring all things into harmony,
We celebrate this day, for the tomb is empty and Jesus Christ is risen! Jesus Christ
is risen today!
Welcome
Perronet/Holden
All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name
All hail the power of Jesus’ name, let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem, and crown Him Lord of all;
Bring forth the royal diadem, and crown Him Lord of all.
Let every kindred, every tribe, on this terrestrial ball,
To Him all majesty ascribe, and crown Him Lord of all;
To Him all majesty ascribe, and crown Him Lord of all.
Prayer Hymn
Damazio
Crown Him King of Kings
Crown Him King of Kings; crown Him Lord of Lords.
Wonderful, Counselor, the Mighty God;

And He shall reign, He shall reign, He shall reign forevermore.

a sacred time. During this time of communion, you are welcome to join us in prayer,
in silence, or quietly singing these songs during communion.)
Gaither
Because He Lives
God sent his Son, they called him Jesus;
He came to love, heal, and forgive;
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives.
How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
And feel the pride and joy that gives;
But greater still the calm assurance,
This child can face uncertain days because He lives.
And then one day I’ll cross the river;
I’ll fight life’s final war with pain;
And then as death gives way to victory,
I’ll see the lights of glory and I’ll know He reigns.
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow;
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future;
And life is worth the living just because He lives.
Amazing Love (You Are My King)
Foote
I’m forgiven because You were forsaken, I’m accepted, You were condemned,
I’m alive and well, Your Spirit is within me, because You died and rose again.
Amazing love, how can it be, that You my King would die for me;
Amazing love, I know its true, it’s my joy to honor You. In all I do, I honor You.
You are my King, You are my King; Jesus, You are my King; Jesus, You are my King.
*Closing Music
Tomlin/Giglio
Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see.
T’was Grace that taught my heart to fear and grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed.
My chains are gone, I’ve been set free. My God, my Savior has ransomed me.
And like a flood His mercy reigns. Unending love, amazing grace!
The Lord has promised good to me His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be as long as life endures.

Don’t you just love Pecans? They are great
for cooking, baking or snacking. Because
we all LOVE pecans so much, we will be
back out at Barb and Deb’s, gathering more
pecans to sell on Saturday, April 18th, from 10am-1pm.
Lunch is being provided for our wonderful gatherers, so
be sure to write “PECAN” in the Redbook as it is passed
if you are planning on joining us so we will
know how much food to prepare. The sale
of these pecans will fund various
ministries in our church. Come on out!
WELCOME TO CELEBRATION
First time visitors, welcome! We invite you to complete a Visitor
Registration Card found in the pew in front of you and place it in the
offering plate later in this service so that we may have a record of

Thank you to Black Tie for selecting Celebration
Community Church as one of the beneficiaries
for 2015! We are so pleased to be among those
selected.

Wednesday Night Live! - April 8th
Do you have a will? Do you know
about probate? Come and learn about wills,
inheritance, probate and more at the next
Barron House workshop. The Hurr Law firm
will once again be leading this workshop,
but this time with a focus on wills, power of attorney, etc.
The workshop will be immediately
following the 11:00 service on April 12th. Sign up by calling
the church office or writing “WILLS” in the Redbook as it is
passed. The cost is $35 per couple or $25 for an individual.
A light lunch will be provided.
What better way to spend your Wednesday than with
your church family learning and discussing a variety of
topics that are pertinent to YOUR life? Dinner is served
at 6pm ($7 per person, $5 for seniors) followed by
WNL—a fascinating hour of conversation, discussion
and learning. Please write “DINNER” in the Redbook
as it is passed if you are planning on joining us for
dinner so we will know how much food to prepare.
Come on out for an uplifting, mid-week pick-me-up!
