Opening Prayer: Chelsey Hedglin God of love and understanding, to you all hearts are open and all minds are known, and yet you care for each of us deeply. Give to us a share of that same openness that we may more closely resemble you and have greater compassion for one another, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Scripture Reading: John 20:19-25: Rev. Chelsey Hedglin When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.” But Thomas (who was called the Twin), one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my finger in the mark of the nails and my hand in his side, I will not believe.” Sermon: Sacred Conversations: I Will Not Believe: Rev. John Hill Instrumental Reflection: What a Friend We Have in Jesus: Caleb Dinger, Piano Pastoral Prayer: Rev. Chelsey Hedglin Invitation to Offer Tithes and Gifts: Rev. Chelsey Hedglin https://onrealm.org/CrievewoodUMC/Give Offertory Anthem: You Say Hailee Hunt-Hawkins, Vocalist; Caleb Dinger, InstrumentalistYou Say Verse 1 I keep fighting voices in my mind That say I’m not enough Every single lie that tells me I will never measure up Verse 2 Am I more than just the sum of Every high and every low Remind me once again just who I am Because I need to know Chorus You say I am loved when I can’t feel a thing You say I am strong when I think I am weak You say I am held when I am falling short And when I don’t belong oh You say I am Yours And I believe I believe What You say of me I believe Verse 3 The only thing that matters now Is everything You think of me In You I find my worth In You I find my identity Repeat Chorus Bridge Taking all I have and now I’m laying it at Your feet You’ll have every failure God You’ll have every victory Repeat Chorus Prayer of Confession: from the Book of Worship, page 481: Rev. John Hill Almighty and merciful God, we know that when we offend another, we offend you. We are aware that we have often allowed the shadow of hate to cloud our souls, hiding the light from our unseeking eyes. We have said unpleasant and hurtful things to our brothers and sisters when they failed to live up to our expectations. Grant that we might find that spark of love that ever burns within us, the love that you have shown to us even when we failed you. Fan the embers of that love until it roars again in flames of love, peace, and reconciliation. Forgive us our sins and help us to forgive those who have sinned against us. Lead us into new life through your Son Jesus Christ, who died for the sins of all. Amen. Silent Prayer Kyrie Words of Assurance Hear the Good News: Christ died for us while we were yet sinners. That proves God’s love toward us. In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven. In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven. Glory to God! Amen. Closing Hymn: Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus Turn Your Eyes upon Jesus Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful face, and the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace. Benediction: Rev. John Hill |
