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 *Time of silent prayer *Assurance of Pardon *Response – Gloria Patri # 581 Passing of the Peace Scripture: John 20: 24-30 *Hymn: “Christ is Risen!

*PRAYER OF CONFESSION: O Lord, You know At times I have hidden Your light in my heart, not sharing You. At times I have not spoken of Your salvation, staying silent.

Our souls may rest, the LORD has been good to us. The LORD has delivered us from death, our eyes from tears, and our feet from stumbling.

ANNOUNCEMENTS;
CALL TO WORSHIP: (Psalm143) LORD, in Your faithfulness and righteousness come to our relief. Do not bring us into judgement. Remember Your righteousness and not our unrighteousness. When our spirit grows faint and our hearts are dismayed Help us to meditate on Your works and consider what Your hands have done. Show us the way we should go. We trust our lives to You. Teach us to do Your will. All: May Your good Spirit lead us on level ground.
*Hymn “”Love Divine, All Love Excelling (verses 1&2) # 366
* PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Loving God, we confess that we have stifled Your Spirit within us. You have sent us the Spirit of love, but we have preferred to hate those who oppose us. You have sent us the Spirit of joy, but we have taken Your gifts for granted and been ungrateful. You have sent us the Spirit of peace, but we have allowed our selfishness to cause division and disharmony. You have sent us the Spirit of patience, but we have been worried and anxious when we have not seen immediate results from our efforts, or evidence of Your love. You have sent us the Spirit of kindness, but we have been indifferent to other people’s needs. You have sent us the Spirit of goodness, but through thoughtlessness, as well as our deliberate wrongdoing, we have sinned. You have sent us the Spirit of faithfulness, but we have been fickle in our resolve, unreliable disciples of Jesus. You have sent us the Spirit of gentleness, but we have been insensitive to the feelings of others. You have sent us the Spirit of self-control, but we have lived recklessly, without disciplining ourselves. Forgive us, merciful God. Teach us how much we need the power of Your Spirit in our lives; and breathe new life into us; for Your glory and the sake of the Gospel’s proclamation. Amen. *Time of silent prayer *Assurance of Pardon *Response – Gloria Patri # 581 *Passing of the peace Children’s Chat Prayer for Illumination Scripture reading: John 14: 8-17, 25-27 Sermon text: Genesis 11: 1-9 *Hymn “Spirit of The Living God”7 # 288 *Apostles Creed (on back of Joys & Concerns) Presentation of our titles and offering Offertory - Doxology *Prayer of dedication Concerns and celebrations Prayers of the people/ The Lord’s Prayer INVITATION TO THE LORD’S TABLE “Let us break Bread Together” Communion “Alleluia” * INVOCATION “A Hymn of Joy We Sing” (insert) BENEDICTION
