John 20 : 24-30

4/5/2026

0 Comments

 
Today's guest speaker is Rev. Bobby Smith
ANNOUNCEMENTS:   Please be seated 
Prelude:   Toni Sears “Easter Song” 
CALL TO WORSHIP: 
We are here today because the weeping Mary Magdala once said: “I have seen the Lord!” 
    We are here because Jesus still comes into our locked spaces 
    and says “Peace be with You. Receive the Holy Spirit.” 
We are here today like doubting Thomas who finally cried: “My Lord and my God” 
     We are here like Peter, tempted to forget the call of Jesus:  I’m 
      going fishing.” 
We are here this morning because of Jesus, who asks us face-to-face : “do you truly love me?” 
      We gather here to whisper timidly.  “Yes, Lord, You know that 
      we love You.” 
All: we are here as a congregation only because many faithful disciples have listened to Jesus’ words: 
“Do not be afraid. Do not be afraid! Go and tell. ‘Jesus has been raised!” 
   
INVOCATION
*Hymn:  “Jesus Christ is Risen Today” # 232 
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION: 
We listen to the news, read the newspaper, and wonder of peace will ever reign in Your world, Lord. Today we have been invited to be with the disciples in that hidden place where they also wondered about peace and hope. You broke through. You shattered the darkness and they were astonished again. Help us to understand that You will bring peace to each one of us. Forgive all those times when we treat this moment of revelation as though it was impossible. Give us the courage to reach out to You and touch our hearts once again. For we ask this in Jesus’ name. 
Amen
