Prelude                                        My Jesus I Love Thee

Opening Hymn*                           Everlasting God

Lenten Reading: John 11:1-45

Call to Worship                    (based on John 11:1-45)

Ldr:    Jesus said to Martha, “I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die.”

Ppl:     We come this morning believing in Jesus Christ, the resurrection and the life.

Ldr:    Martha answered Jesus, “Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one coming into the world.”

Ppl:    We too confess that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, the Savior of the world.

Ldr:    When Mary came to Jesus and saw Him, she knelt at His feet. Jesus was deeply moved in spirit and troubled.

Ppl:    We come to Jesus in our times of trouble, knowing that He understands our pain and grief.

Ldr:   Jesus wept. He cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” And the dead man came out, alive.

Ppl:    We worship the One who has power over death itself, who brings life from death and hope from despair.

Ldr     Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”

All:     We believe, Lord Jesus. Show us Your glory as we gather to worship You today. Amen.
