A Liturgy for Easter Brunch

Easter is the pinnacle of the Christian year. The celebration of Christ’s resurrection shapes everything we do. The only way to appropriately mark this feast is by eating a delicious meal with friends and family!

Are you looking for a way to carry the celebration of your Easter Sunday church service into your post-church brunch? Then we’ve got the perfect liturgy for you.

Host:

Resurrected God, we celebrate you this Easter Sunday—remembering that every community of gathered Christians is your hands and feet in the world today. Oh God you rose on the third days, giving us the power to say:

Altogether:

Oh death, where is your victory? Oh grave, where is your sting?

Host:

Though we still mourn the loss of those we love in this given life (all who are gathered may add the names of deceased loved ones they want to remember), let the laughter at this table and the dishes before us serve as a reminder that death is not the end.

Host:

Alleluia, Christ is risen!

Altogether:

Christ is risen indeed!
