John 20:19-31

4/3/2016

0 Comments

 
Thoughts:          On the evening of his resurrection day, Jesus appeared in the midst of his disciples.  They were huddled together in fear.  Their memories of Jesus’ arrest and crucifixion, and their desertion of him, must have haunted them.  And suddenly – miraculously – here Jesus was among them.
 
He could have been bitingly sarcastic.  “Hey, guys, thanks so much for all your help.”
 
He could have been sadly reproachful.  “How could you desert me, after all we’ve been through together?”
 
He could have been coldly angry.  “You miserable, cowardly ingrates!”
 
But Jesus greeted his disciples with “Peace be unto you.”
 
Discussion:        What should the disciples have responded?

 
Activity:              Let us try to deserve this promised peace.

Remember in prayer this week Martha Blair, Vivian Hansard, Gladys Hughes, and Martha Meyer.
 
This Thursday at 7:00pm, Connections will be in our theatre for movie night.  All are welcome.
Friday is the Red Cross Blood Drive from 1:00-6:45pm.  Blood is always needed and they take walk-ins.
This Sunday is Holy Humor Sunday and Communion.  Come ready to laugh and enjoy our worship service.
 
Job Posting:  Seeking a Ministries Facilitator Assistant to help meet the needs of Church activities including setup/ greeting the guests/ monitoring the activity/ teardown and/or cleanup.  5 to 17 hrs/wk @ $10/hr.  For more information, please contact the Church Office.
