God of the empty tomb,
God of the temporarily empty building,
God of our lives,
We thank you for
the resurrection of Jesus.
May this day remind us
that you will have the final word.
Always you will have the final word.
And your word will be a word of
hope and
grace and
faith and
love.
Christ is risen.
We thank you Christ is risen.
In his name we pray.
Amen.
The Rev. W. Mark Koenig
