Take a brief time to surface your concerns this Easter and shape them as petitions. Place these concerns in a joyful Easter context by singing an alleluia group members know.
LEADER: Loving Creator, we believe you raised Jesus from the dead. We believe you will raise us up, too.
Take turns making your prayers of petition.
LEADER: This is the day the Lord appeared to those who had begun to lose hope.
ALL: May the risen Jesus breathe on our minds and open our eyes that we may know him in the breaking of bread, in all of us gathered together around his word and table. Amen. Alleluia.
