Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Alleluia! Text: Public domain Invocation P In the name of the Father and of the T Son and of the Holy Spirit. C Amen. P If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. C But if we confess our sins, God, who is faithful and just, will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Confession and Absolution P Let us then confess our sins to God our Father. C Most merciful God, we confess that we are by nature sinful and unclean. We have sinned against You in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done and by what we have left undone. We have not loved You with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We justly deserve Your present and eternal punishment. For the sake of Your Son, Jesus Christ, have mercy on us. Forgive us, renew us, and lead us, so that we may delight in Your will and walk in Your ways to the glory of Your holy name. Amen. P Almighty God …and of the Holy Spirit. C Amen. 3 Psalm Psalm 16; antiphon: v. 10 P 1Preserve me, O God, C for in you I take refuge. P 2I say to the LORD, “You are my Lord; C I have no good apart from you.” P 3As for the saints in the land, C they are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight. P 4The sorrows of those who run after another god shall multiply; C their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out or take their names on my lips. P 5The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; C you hold my lot. P 6The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; C indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance. P 7I bless the LORD who gives me counsel; C in the night also my heart instructs me. P 8I have set the LORD always before me; C because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken. P 9Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; C my flesh also dwells secure. P 10For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, C or let your holy one see corruption. P 11You make known to me the path of life; C in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. C Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Kyrie LSB 152 P In peace let us pray to the Lord.

Almighty God the Father, through Your only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ, You have overcome death and opened the gate of everlasting life to us. Grant that we, who celebrate with joy the day of our Lord’s resurrection, may be raised from the death of sin by Your life-giving Spirit; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Old Testament Reading Isaiah 25:6–9 6On this mountain the LORD of hosts will make for all peoples a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wine, of rich food full of marrow, of aged wine well refined. 7And he will swallow up on this mountain the covering that is cast over all peoples, the veil that is spread over all nations. 8He will swallow up death forever; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from all faces, and the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for the LORD has spoken. 9It will be said on that day, “Behold, this is our God; we have waited for him, that he might save us. This is the LORD; we have waited for him; let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.” P This is the Word of the Lord. C Thanks be to God. Gradual adapt. from Matthew 28:7; Hebrews 2:7; Psalm 8:6 P Christ has risen from the dead. C [God the Father] has crowned him with glory and honor. P He has given him dominion over the works of his hands; C he has put all things under his feet. 6 Solo (7:45) “Because He Lives” Handbells (10:15am) “Crown Him with Many Crowns” Epistle 1 Corinthians 15:1–11 1Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, 2and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. 3For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, 5and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. 7Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. 8Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. 9For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. 11Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed. P This is the Word of the Lord. C Thanks be to God. Alleluia and Verse LSB 156 Holy Gospel Mark 16:1–8 P The Holy Gospel according to St.
