Unique Easter Service Order

Here’s our service order for this Easter. It’s simple yet unique–especially the “rumor” dramatic effect at the beginning. (Bet you’ve never seen this done in a service before!) Substitute songs for songs that work best for your congregation.

*To do the Rumor dramatic effect: Worship leader says to the congregation: “We need the first person on each row to turn to your neighbor on your left and say, ‘Have you heard? He’s alive?’ Then that person will turn to her neighbor on her left and say the same. Let’s spread this news all the across the room.”
