SUMMARY:Worship Service
DESCRIPTION:2nd Sunday of Easter\nWelcomed with Open Arms\nThomas is not the only one missing from the assembly the Sunday after Easter Sunday. We are not told why Thomas is missing\, but we do know why plenty of other folks are absent from the assembly: vacations\, traveling\, spring break for the kids. \nThomas is criticized for doubting\, but he asks for nothing more than the same experience of the risen Christ the rest of the disciples had. By the grace of God\, Jesus returns a second time and offers his body as living proof to Thomas. In the presence of Jesus\, Thomas discovers he did not need the proof he demanded. Thomas’ story is our story. We are not always where we need to be. Sometimes we even find ourselves in places we should not be at all. But Jesus comes to us\, seeking us out and giving us the gift of faith. Thomas is not criticized\, he is not condemned. Instead Jesus loves Thomas back into a relationship and shows the disciples what the words “Peace be with you” mean when lived out. \nThe resurrection promise can be heard through Peter’s powerful preaching in the reading from Acts as well. Jesus will triumph over death. Peter points to Jesus’ death on the cross\, but what of the little ways we die? The loss of relationships\, the ending of friendships\, the pain of being alone and left out\, the despair of losing a job\, the doubt that comes on the heels of a negative diagnosis. Jesus comes to bring a holy peace and resurrection into the world in these times as well. This Sunday is an opportunity to proclaim the power of the resurrection and the grace of God\, who welcomes Thomas with open arms. \n~From Sundays and Seasons

SUMMARY:Worship Service
DESCRIPTION:3rd Sunday of Easter\nChange of Heart\nThe people who hear Peter’s testimony and preaching are cut to the heart. The writer of 1 Peter instructs believers to love deeply from the heart. The disciples who encounter the risen Christ notice afterward that their hearts were “burning” within them as Jesus reveals the scriptures and then himself to them in the breaking of the bread. Whether a call to repentance\, hope\, recognition\, or love\, people are deeply affected by encounters with the one raised from death to become followers of Jesus’ way. They not only turn from their sin and doubt but literally change direction\, going back from Emmaus to Jerusalem with renewed courage\, faith\, and hope. These heart-changing encounters with Jesus fulfill a promise from God for the whole community\, from those who have lived a long life to those who are children. \n~From Sundays and Seasons

SUMMARY:Worship Service
DESCRIPTION:4th Sunday of Easter\nAn Abundant Life\nAbundant life is promised to those who follow Jesus. But what is meant by abundant life? Some Christians\, and much of contemporary American culture\, interpret an abundant life to mean the “good life” of many fine things\, an opulent lifestyle. Much of our economy and leisure time revolves around consumerism—shopping and buying things which we hope will make us happier and our lives better. But an abundance of things does not necessarily lead to an abundant life. \nWhat does Jesus mean when he says that he came so that we may have an abundant life? Psalm 23 provides us with a good illustration of what Jesus is promising to his followers. The psalm imagines an abundant life not in material terms but in relational terms. An abundant life is one lived in the presence of God\, in the company of the Lord. Whether one is in green pastures or the darkest valley\, there is nothing to want\, because God is present. We are in the gracious and generous care of our Lord through times of material abundance and in times of want and scarcity. This relationship between our Lord and us who are his followers is a relationship with one who knows us abundantly\, who knows us by name\, and who knows what we truly need to be fulfilled. The image of Jesus as our shepherd reminds us that he is with us at all times\, and our relationship with him provides us all we need. \n~From Sundays and Seasons
