*Call to Worship Liturgist
L: Early in the morning, while it was still dark, the stone was rolled away.
P. The tomb is empty! Christ is risen!
L: Grief gives way to joy, despair to hope—new life has begun!
P. We come, ready to embrace the resurrection power of Christ.
L: Let us step beyond the cross, beyond the tomb, into the promise of new life.
P. With open hearts and joyful voices, we proclaim: Christ is risen indeed! Alleluia!

Prayer of Illumination:
God of the garden and the grave, you move stones, stir hearts, and speak names in the stillness. On this day of wonder, we dare to believe the mystery: that life has conquered death, that love has the final word. As we listen now to the story too good—and too true—to explain, open our ears to the whisper of angels, our eyes to the empty tomb, and our hearts to the risen Christ who calls us by name.
Amen.
