Opening Prayer

At the center of your group, open a bible, light a candle beside it, and place alongside Easter symbols such as Easter eggs or an Easter lily.

LEADER: God spoke this word, “Let there be light.”

ALL: And there was light, evening and morning, the first day of creation.

LEADER: In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God.

ALL: And the Word was God.

LEADER: The Holy One says, My word will not come back to me empty.

ALL: It will accomplish God’s purpose.

LEADER: Just as rain and snow come down from heaven

ALL: And do not return until they have watered the earth,

LEADER: Making Earth bring forth and sprout,

ALL: Giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,

LEADER: So shall God’s word succeed, that goes forth from God’s mouth.

ALL: God’s word will not come back empty.

LEADER: What has come into being in Jesus Christ is life.

ALL: His life is light to us and all people. Amen. Alleluia.
