Easter Sunday Service Sheet – April 12, 2020
Alleluia. Christ is risen.
The Lord is risen indeed. Alleluia.
Please join your voices with angels and archangels and all the company of heaven as Fr. Burgess celebrates the Holy Mysteries on this Sunday of the Resurrection. By entering into an Act of Spiritual Communion, we join the Church Militant, the Church Expectant and the Church Triumphant in proclaiming the Victory of our Lord Jesus Christ over the absolute worst that this world could muster against heaven having come down to earth.
Easter triumph, Easter joy, these alone do sin destroy.
From sin’s power do thou set free souls newborn, O Lord in thee.
Hymns of glory, songs of praise, Father, unto thee we raise:
risen Lords, all praise to thee with the spirit ever be.
Hymn 174 – Stanza 3
Words: Latin, 1632; tr. Robert Campbell (1814-1868)

Food Pantry Needs Your Help
Due to restrictions concerning the number of items we are able to buy at one time, the Greater Woodbury Cooperative Ministries Food Pantry could use some help with these five items. If you happen to have any of these items, or are able to purchase them, can you please drop them off at the door of the food pantry…no need to come in.

An Opportunity for Prayer
Dear Beloved of Christ:
Our Prayer Book invites many opportunities for us to be about the ministry of prayer, both corporately as well as individually. In addition to the Daily Offices, there are litanies that invites our intercession on behalf of many various concerns. Please consider reading privately or in community with your family The Great Litany as found on page 148 of the Prayer Book. Note how this articulation of the Church is appropriate . . . after the Collects of Morning or Evening Prayer; or separately; especially in Lent and on Rogation Days (BCP pg. 148).
The other rarely utilized treasure of our prayer book is The Supplication as found on page 154. This, too, can be used as a separate devotion; especially in times of war, or of national anxiety, or of disaster.
You remain within my prayer of intercession and thanksgiving before the altar of Christ Church Woodbury.
Fr. Burgess
