Welcome & Announcements
Minute for Mission
Prelude "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus/ Open Our Eyes" arr. S. N. Callaway
Call to Worship:
Praise God with clapping hands; praise God with hands comforting a child.
Praise God with silent hearts; praise God with hearts broken for the world.
Praise God with electric guitars; praise God with soft piano chords.
Praise God with be-bop and hip-hop; praise God with rhythms that don't stop.
Praise God with a hallelujah chorus; praise God with a Gregorian chant.
Praise God with dancing steps; praise God with feet walking for justice.
**Hymn #248 “Christ Is Risen! Shout Hosanna!”
**Affirmation of Faith
In life and death we belong to God. We trust in Jesus Christ, fully human, fully God. We trust in God, whom Jesus called Abba, Father. In sovereign love God created the world good and makes everyone equally in God’s image, of every race and people, to live in one community. We trust in God the Holy Spirit, everywhere the giver and renewer of life. With believers in every time and place, we rejoice that nothing in life or in death can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Anthem "Rejoice, the Lord Is King!" Grace Notes Choir with Grace Ringers
Time with Young Disciples
Scripture John 20: 19-31
Message
Prayers of the People with the Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us, not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
**Hymn #817 “We Walk by Faith and Not by Sight"
**Benediction
**Choral Blessing
May the road rise to meet you, may the wind blow at your back, may the sun shine warmly on your face, may the rain fall softly on your field, and, until we meet again, until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of God’s hand.
