Greeting and Announcements

Opening Praise Hymn 76 “O For a Thousand Tongues” 1, 2

Call to Worship: (You may be seated)                                                                       
Pastor: Easter people, we gather today as people who spent the week 
                inundated with news reports, social media posts, and reels that  
                overwhelmed us with information, worry, and stress.
People: Like the disciples on the road to Emmaus, we carry the
                  weight of being overwhelmed and anxious, wondering who           
                  we can believe.
Pastor: We gather as people who long for peace, for God to break
                 through and bring us clarity and hope once again.
People: Like the disciples on the road to Emmaus, we don’t always
                  recognize when the Risen One comes alongside us, showing 
                  us the way where there seems to be no way.
Pastor: We gather as people hoping to catch a glimmer of Resurrection,            
                ready for our hearts to burn with the truth of the resurrected Christ.
People: Like the disciples on the road to Emmaus, we open our hearts     
                  to the possibility that God’s Resurrection Life is closer than we 
                  think. Amen.

Hymn No. 381 “Open My Eyes, That I May See” All

Prayer of Invocation:                                                                                                                  
     O risen Christ, On the road to Emmaus, you were the disciples’ companion. Be at our side on the journey of faith on life’s pathways and at every encounter, engender our compassion, so that we may welcome others and listen to their stories. Kindle anew the desire to proclaim your Word. May it illumine us, and may our hearts burn to bear witness to it. May your Holy Spirit teach us the art of explaining scripture and open our hearts to recognize you. Grant us the courage to become vulnerable so that our siblings may know you through us  and that we may know you through them. Amen.
