Correction from the Session Clerk
In the April Newsletter Session Digest, I reported that we are
planning to return to live worship on May 2. That statement is
incorrect. At the March Stated Session meeting, a motion to that
effect was introduced, seconded, and discussed, but no vote was taken.
This issue will be on the April 20 stated Session meeting agenda.
Read the April 25 bulletin 'Church Notes' for additional information
regarding in-person worship.

Scripture for Apr 12 (docx)
DownloadPlease use these suggested scriptures, questions, and activities to help you explore your faith.
April 4 – Resurrection of the Lord/Easter: Read John 20:1-18
Each gospel tells the story of Jesus’ resurrection differently. In John’s gospel, the risen Jesus appears to Mary Magdalene as she stood near the empty tomb. Mary didn’t recognize Jesus until he spoke her name; after that encounter, she went and told the disciples, “I have seen the Lord.” Mary didn’t expect to see Jesus and didn’t. Are you open to hearing Jesus speak to you when you don’t expect it? What might you do to be more open to that possibility?
April 11 – Second Sunday of Easter: Read John 20:19-31
Thomas has gotten a bad rap through the centuries, often being referred to as “Doubting Thomas” because he wouldn’t believe it when the other disciples told him Jesus was alive and had visited them. When he did see Jesus, Thomas believed. We all have our doubts at times, but that doesn’t stop Jesus from coming to us. Jesus meets us where we are and invites us to believe. What doubts make it hard for you believe that Jesus is alive and with you, meeting you where you are? Celebrate the good news that God in Christ meets and accepts us where we
are.
April 18 – Third Sunday of Easter: Read 1 John 3:1-7
The children’s song “If Anybody Asks You Who I Am” contain the words, “If anybody ask you who I am, tell ‘em I am child of God.” The concluding verse changes it a little bit to “If anybody asks you who are you, tell ‘em you’re a child of God.” The author of the first letter of John eminds us that we are all children of God, not because we are always good and loving, but because God loves us. As God’s child, how might you share God’s love with others?
April 25 – Fourth Sunday of Easter: Read Psalm 23
Shepherds take care of their sheep by seeing that the sheep have the food and water they need. When the sheep are threatened or in danger, the shepherd uses a staff and rod to protect and rescue them. The psalmist sings of God as his/her shepherd. Think of yourself as one of God’s sheep; how has God cared for you?
