THE GATHERING OF THE COMMUNITY
Welcome
Processional “The Tomb Is Empty! Come See” ........................... #230 CP
1. The tomb is empty! Come and see where once the body lay. Can it be true that Jesus Christ is raised to life today?
2. The tomb is empty! Come and hear these words of life and peace: “He is not here. He lives again in all your Galilees.”
3. The tomb is empty! Come and touch the stone and folded shroud. Christ lives indeed. Alleluia! Believers, shout aloud!
4. The tomb is empty! Come and meet the risen Christ our Lord in whom we have our victory, in whom is life restored.
Introductory Response
Your love, O God, has been poured into our hearts. We abide in you and you in us.
We will give thanks to you and call upon your name; we will make known your deeds among the peoples.
We raise our songs of praise to you And speak of all your marvellous works.
You alone are the Holy One, who was and is and is to come!
3
Blessed are you, creator, to you be praise and glory for ever. As your Spirit moved over the face of the waters bringing light and life to your creation, pour out your Spirit on us today so that we may walk as children of light and by your grace reveal your presence. Blessed be God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Blessed be God for ever.
Children’s Talk
Praise Song “Be Thou My Vision” ................................................. #505 CP
1. Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart; naught be all else to me, save that thou art— thou my best thought, by day or by night, waking or sleeping, thy presence my light.
2. Be thou my wisdom, and thou my true Word; I ever with thee and thou with me, Lord; thou my great Father; thine own may I be, thou in me dwelling, and I one with thee.
3. Riches I heed not, nor the world’s empty praise; thou mine inheritance, now and always: thou and thou only, first in my heart, high King of heaven, my treasure thou art.
4. High King of heaven, when victory is won, may I reach heaven’s joys, bright heaven’s Sun! Heart of my own heart, whatever befall, still be my vision, O Ruler of all.

THE PROCLAMATION OF THE WORD
First Reading (Heather Kayler) ................................................ Acts 7:55-60
Psalm 31:1-5,15-16 .................................................................. p. 740 BAS
In you, O Lord, have I taken refuge; let me never be put to shame;
deliver me in your righteousness.
Incline your ear to me; make haste to deliver me.
Be my strong rock, a castle to keep me safe, for you are my crag and my stronghold;
for the sake of your name, lead me and guide me.
Take me out of the net that they have secretly set for me, for you are my tower of strength.
Into your hands I commend my spirit, for you have redeemed me, O Lord, O God of truth.
"My times are in your hand; rescue me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me.
Make your face to shine upon your servant, and in your loving kindness save me."
Second Reading (Jason Antonio) ........................................... 1 Peter 2:2-10
The Responsory
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your people. and kindle in us the fire of your love. All who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God and fellow-heirs with Christ. Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your people. Renew the face of your creation, Creator of all, and pour on us the gifts of your Spirit, and kindle in us the fire of your love. For the creation waits with eager longing for the glorious liberty of the children of God. Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your people and kindle in us the fire of your love.

Canticle (A Song of Ezekiel 36:24-26, 28b)
I will take you from the nations, and gather you from all the countries. I will sprinkle clean water upon you And you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses. A new heart I will give you And put a new spirit within you. And I will remove from your body the heart of stone And give you a heart of flesh. You shall be my people, and I will be your God. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as it was in the beginning, is now and will be for ever. Amen.
Gradual Hymn “Christ Is Our Cornerstone” (tune #379) ................ #459 CP
1. Christ is our cornerstone, on him alone we build; with his true saints alone the courts of heaven are filled. On his great love our hopes we place of present grace and joys above.
2. O then with hymns of praise these hallowed courts shall ring. Our voices we will raise the Three-in-One to sing, and thus proclaim in joyful song both loud and long that glorious name.
3. Here, gracious God, do thou forevermore draw nigh; accept each faithful vow, and mark each suppliant sigh. In copious shower on all who pray, each holy day thy blessings pour.
4. Here may we gain from heaven the grace which we implore; and may that grace, once given, be with us evermore, until that day when all the blest to endless rest are called away.

Gospel Acclamation: Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ
Gospel Reading ........................................................................ John 14:1-14
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ
Table Talk (Fr. Dean)
Apostles’ Creed ............................................................................ p. 52 BAS
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
Prayers of the People (Emily Pinter)

GRATITUDE AND GIVING
We trust in God to supply our needs through this crisis and are deeply
grateful for his provision.
Thank you to all who have found a way to keep giving. You have
been generous. This allows us to carry on with the ministry
entrusted to this body (albeit in adjusted formats) and to care for
our building in anticipation of being able to gather within it again.
If you are able to continue giving, here are the methods available:
Interac E-transfer to [email protected] (include your address in
the message if you have not given before).
Mail your envelope – we check the mailbox regularly.
Pre-authorized debit:
Download the form and return it to [email protected].
Arranging a time to drop off banking information is best.
Email [email protected] if you need to make adjustments
(please provide 10 days notice as the process cannot be
stopped closer to the date).
Go to staidan.ca, click on the DONATE link at the top of the page
to give through PayPal (this option has fees associated with it
and decreases the amount that comes to St. Aidan).
If you are not able to give because of changes to your financial
situation, we understand; still, please continue to pray with us for
God's graceful provision within our church body.
