Still I Rise You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may tread me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I’ll rise. Does my sexiness upset you? Does it come as a surprise That I dance like I’ve got diamonds At the meeting of my thighs? Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom? ‘Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells Pumping in my living room. Out of the huts of history’s shame I rise Up from a past that’s rooted in pain I rise Just like moons and like suns, With the certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still I’ll rise. I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide, Welling and swelling I bear in the tide. Leaving behind nights of terror and fear I rise Did you want to see me broken? Bowed head and lowered eyes? Shoulders falling down like teardrops. Weakened by my soulful cries. Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear I rise Does my haughtiness offend you? Don’t you take it awful hard ‘Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines Diggin’ in my own back yard. Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave. I rise I rise I rise.

To worship at Cathedral of Hope, a congregation of the United Church of Christ. Your presence here is a blessing and we hope you will return often. Cathedral of Hope began in 1970 with a circle of 12 friends and has since grown into the world’s largest liberal Christian church with a primary outreach to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer/questioning people. • The VISION of Cathedral of Hope is to be a community of hope proclaiming God’s inclusive love, removing barriers to faith and empowering all people to grow in grace toward wholeness. • The MISSION of Cathedral of Hope is to reclaim Christianity as a faith of Extravagant Grace, Radical Inclusion and Relentless Compassion. Notes for Newcomers Restrooms are located near the double glass doors behind the Sanctuary. Private restrooms are available off the hall to the right of the Hall of Heroes area. For more information about the church, please come to the Ministry & Visitor’s Center located next to Sources of Hope bookstore. Our worship services are recorded for broadcast around the country. We make every effort to respect your privacy. However, if you would like to ensure that you are not seen on screen, please sit in one of the last five rows of pews in the center section. Large-print bulletins and assisted listening systems are available in the bookstore. H O P E Quotes “I just can’t express how heartwarming it felt to be a part of a worship experience that affirmed me, just as I am.” —C.J., Denton TX Hallelujah! Jesus Christ is risen, indeed! Jesus lives in you, he lives in me, and he lives in all of our sisters and brothers. The Resurrection is both a personal and a communal occurrence. It’s personal because we, like Jesus, share the experience of Resurrection. It’s communal because we share the common experience of the Lenten season of preparation; the moving events of Holy Week; and, now, the transcendence of death to new life on Easter morning. At last count, how many second chances have you been given by our loving Lord? Think about this—it’s pain with a purpose—have you not suffered betrayal…and, through anguish and reflection and prayer, gotten through it? And, tell me, when you’ve suffered a major loss, whom could you count on to get you through the worst times? I could not have gotten through the 1980s and 1990s—a period when my friends and my family members suffered and perished, way too young, so full of promise, if I had not believed in the power of Resurrection. For me, Jesus, by transcending death, ascending to eternal existence, living now as part of my DNA—our DNA!—is like geometry: Proven. The Easter story in the Gospels grabs our hearts and tells us, “Love is stronger than death!” I know this love so deeply, at so many times, in so many places. And, friends, don’t we—the Cathedral family—need Easter this year? We are in the midst of some very hard work—work we’ve needed to do. Jesus Christ is risen, indeed! If you need proof, turn to the one beside you and smile. You’ll feel it. You will feel Easter. Hallelujah! —Rev. Jim Mitulski, Interim Senior Pastor.

What kind of love is writing my story till the end with mercy’s pen? Only you. What kind of King would choose to wear a crown that bleeds and scars to win my heart? What kind of love tells me I’m the reason he can’t stay inside the grave? You, is it you? Standing here before my eyes; every part of my heart cries. Alive, alive! Look what mercy’s overcome; death has lost and love has won! Alive, alive! Hallelujah, risen Lord, the only One I fall before, I am his because he is alive.

The word Easter is held by some to have originally referred to the name of an Anglo-Saxon goddess, Ēostre. Easter is held by others to have originally referred to the name of a Babylonian goddess, Ishtar. Others surmise that Eostre and Ishtar, pronounced identically, are two forms of the same word, referring to two forms of the same goddess, although the spelling differentiated through time and distance. In Greek and Latin, the Christian celebration was and is called Πάσχα, Pascha, words derived, through Aramaic, from the Hebrew term Pesach, known in English as Passover, which originally denoted the Jewish festival commemorating the story of the Exodus. Already in the 1st century, Paul, writing from Ephesus to the Christians in Corinth, applied the term to Christ. In most of the non-English speaking world, the feast is known by names derived from Greek and Latin Pascha. Christ the Lord Is Risen Today Christ the Lord Is Risen Today is a Christian hymn associated with Easter.

Jim Mitulski THE WORD COMMUNITY PRAYER ANTHEM Alleluia by Randall Thompson Sanctuary Choir GOSPEL LESSON, PART 1 John 20: 1-10 The Empty Tomb Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb. So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.” Then Peter and the other disciple set out and went toward the tomb. The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent down to look in and saw the linen wrappings lying there, but he did not go in. Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen wrappings lying there, and the cloth that had been on Jesus’ head, not lying with the linen wrappings but rolled up in a place by itself. Then the other disciple, who reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; for as yet they did not understand the scripture, that Jesus must rise from the dead. Then the disciples returned to their homes. GOSPEL CHORUS The Anthem One: Hallelujah! You have won the victory. Hallelujah! You have won it all for me. Death could not hold you down. You are the risen Lord. Seated in majesty. You are the risen Lord!

As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb; and she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had been lying, one at the head and the other at the feet. They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.” When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? For whom are you looking?” Supposing it was the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.” Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to him in Hebrew, “Rabboni!” – which means Teacher. Jesus said to her, “Do not hold on to me, because I have not yet ascended to God. But go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Abba and your Abba, to my God and your God.’ ” Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord”; and she told them what the Savior had said to her. **GOSPEL CHORUS The Anthem One: Our God is risen, Jesus is alive!

We understand the sharing of the bread and the cup in Jesus’ name to be a representation of an ancient vision of God’s feast for all peoples. We don’t require you to be a member of this church, or any church, to participate with us in this feast of grace. Simply come forward at the ushers’ direction. After dipping a wafer in the cup, the minister will place it on your tongue and offer a brief blessing. If you prefer to serve yourself, cup your hands in front of you as you come to receive communion. Crown Him (Majesty) Crown him with many crowns, the Lamb upon the throne. Hark! How the heavenly anthem drowns all music but its own. Awake my soul and sing of him who died for me, And hail him as your matchless King through all eternity. Majesty, Lord of all, let every throne before you fall. The King of kings, oh, come adore the God who reigns forevermore. Crown him the Lord of love; behold his hands and side, Those wounds, yet visible above, in beauty glorified. All hail, Redeemer, hail! For you have died for me; Your praise and glory shall not fail throughout eternity. Majesty, Lord of all, let every throne before you fall. The King of kings, oh, come adore the God who reigns forevermore. Praise God who reigns forevermore.

Hallelujah/Alleluia Hallelujah is a transliteration of the Hebrew word ּהָיּולְּלַה. The term is used 24 times in the Hebrew Bible and four times in Greek transliteration in the book of Revelation. In the Hebrew Bible “hallelujah” is actually a two-word phrase, not one word. The first part, hallelu, is the second-person imperative masculine plural form of the Hebrew verb hallel. However, “hallelujah” means more than simply “praise Yah”, as the word hallel in Hebrew means a joyous praise in song, to 7 boast in God. The second part, Yah, is a shortened form of YHWH, the name for the Creator. The correct pronunciation is not known, however, it is sometimes rendered by Christians as “Yahweh” or “Jehovah”. Our a cappella (unaccompanied) Anthem this morning is Randall Thompson’s Alleluia. Composed over the first five days of July in 1940, it was given its world premiere on July 8. The work was written on a commission from Serge Koussevitzky, who wanted a “fanfare” for voices, and he asked Thompson to contribute such a piece. Instead of the joyous work expected of him, the composer produced a quieter and more introspective piece. Thompson was inspired by the war in Europe, and the recent fall of France; given these events, he felt that to write a festive piece would be inappropriate. The text of the work consists of the word “Alleluia” repeated over and over again. The only other word in the text is 7 “Amen”, which is used once at the end. 9 News April 20, 2014 HE DATE Holocaust BRIEFS Jason and DeMarco Concert Next Sunday eMarco Remembrance April Next 25 Sunday HaShoah ()האושה םוי PM Yomand translated in English as April 27, 7 p.m. CoH Sanctuary Jason & deMarco’s “Celebrating Diversity” tour began in Nashville, Saturday, March 29th and will continue performing over 20 concerts traveling through the Southeast and over to Texas, ending in Sherwood, AR on Tuesday, April 29th.

Beginning in 1933, gay organizations were banned, scholarly books about homosexuality, and sexuality in general, were burned, and homosexuals within the Nazi Party itself were murdered.

By developing a relationship with fellow prisoner, Horst—played by Todd Whitley—he regains his self-respect. BENT is a harrowing, overpoweringly intense, and at times, violent story about the treatment of homosexuals by their own countrymen before World War II. “I am proud to be directing such a talented group of performers and to be presenting such a beautiful and powerful show,” said Cates. “It is my sincere hope that people leave this production changed or moved to speak out.” The show also stars Richard D. Curtin as Greta—drag performer and club owner; Brandon Simmons as Rudy; and Mark Calloway as Uncle Freddie. Other cast include Barry Phillips, Heath Billups, Steve Frawley, Christopher (Kory) Beale, and Rev. Jeff Hood. Leslie Frye is the stage manager. Music will be performed by Danny Anchondo. “Many people don’t know why the LGBT community—and even the Cathedral of Hope—use the pink triangle as a symbol,” said Todd Whitley, H4PJ board chair. “Those who know or come to know this story and its history understand why a symbol that once represented hate and injustice was reclaimed as a symbol for us, and why we as a people—a community—must unite to ensure that nothing like this happens again, ever, to anyone, anywhere—not here in Dallas, not in Texas or any other state, and not worldwide, in places like Russia and Uganda.” Sources of Hope 15% Discount Coupon Today & Wednesday (April 20 and April 23) on Everything!!!

C h i l d r e n , Yo u th Children’s Church &Familie s O n this Easter Sunday morning, our Children’s Worship services will celebrate Resurrection Day by telling the illustrated PowerPoint story of the return of the Christ and the birth of a new religion. We will talk about the varied Gospel accounts of that Sunday morning we now call Easter, and see that the one person who was common to all the stories was Mary Magdalene, whose exciting news delivered to the Disciples has earned her the title of Apostle to the Apostles. We’ll also consider some legendary stories that grew up around the loyal Mary, including one about a common egg she carried turning bright red and becoming the prototype of the Easter Egg. We’ll also examine some legends that, over the centuries, have introduced bunnies, caterpillars and The children meet Mary Magdalene: The Apostle to the Apostles. butterflies as colorful symbols of this most joyful day on the church calenEach week, Dan Peeler, Minister for Children & Families, and Charlie Rose, create beautiful illustrations like dar.
