THE PARISH OF BERKHAMSTED St Peter’s
with All Saints’ |
EASTER DAY 20 April 2003
Eucharistic Prayer E is being used at Holy Communion
Services today
We welcome all who worship here today. If you are a newcomer please speak to one
of the welcomers or to one of the clergy.
We invite you to complete a card which you will find in your pew, or on
the table near the door of the church, and hand it to one of the
welcomers. Communicant members of all
Churches are welcome to receive Holy Communion. If you are not receiving Communion please come to the altar rail
for a blessing and carry a book so the minister knows.
Collect: God of
glory, by the raising of your Son you have broken the chains of death and
hell: fill your Church with faith and
hope; for a new day has dawned,
creation is restored, and the way to life stands open in our Saviour Jesus
Christ. AMEN
Readings Acts
10.34-43 1 Corinthians 15.1-11 Mark 16.1-8
Post Communion: :
God of Life, who for our redemption gave your only-begotten Son to the
death of the cross, and by his glorious resurrection have delivered us from the
power of our enemy; grant us so to die
daily to sin, that we may evermore live with him in the joy of his risen
life; through Jesus Christ our
Lord. AMEN
