At-home preparation:
  • Children, please have at hand your symbols of the Spirit -- doves, wind, fire, water, etc.
Reminders to keep our Zoom service running smoothly:
  • Please keep your microphone muted unless you are speaking.
  • When we sing and pray together, we will hear one voice, and the others will be muted.
  • Remember to look at your chat box for words to responsive readings.
  • If the technology is compromised for any reason or goes totally wonky, we will end the on-line service immediately. If that should happen, we’ll try to restart as soon as possible, sending out an email to notify you.

Order of Service

Scripture & Gathering (from 1 Peter 1:3)

Call to Worship
One: When doors were shut and the world was kept out,
All: Resurrection found the disciples.
One: When Christ gathers with his followers in living worship
All: Resurrection finds us.

Hymn RS 338 Jesus, stand among us
Jesus, stand among us
In Thy risen power;
Let this time of worship
Be a hallowed hour.

Breathe the Holy Spirit
Into every heart;
Bid the fears and sorrows
From each soul depart.

Thus with quickened footsteps
We pursue our way,
Watching for the dawning
Of each eternal day.

Scripture John 20:19−31

Hymn RS 247 Yours is the glory (version 2)
Yours is the glory, resurrected one;
Yours the final victory, God’s eternal Son.
Now the angel greets you, sweeping through death’s night;
Moves the stone that guards you, floods the grave with light.

Yours is the glory, resurrected one;
yours the final victory, God’s eternal Son.
See his appearing, with the wounds he bore;
See your Saviour living: see, and doubt no more!
Enter into gladness, people of the King;
Let delight be endless: Christ is triumphing!

Yours is the glory, resurrected one;
yours the final victory, God’s eternal Son.

Fear flies before him! He whom we adore,
Once death’s helpless victim, lives for evermore.
Prince of Peace: our victory, life and strength are here,
Flooding us with glory; no, we shall not fear.

Yours is the glory, resurrected one;
yours the final victory, God’s eternal Son.

Message Tell me about God, I can’t remember

Closing Hymn RS 274 God is love, his the care
God is love: his the care,
tending each, ev'rywhere, God is love, all is there!
Jesus came to show him, that we all might know him!
Sing aloud, loud, loud! sing aloud, loud, loud!
God is good! God is truth! God is beauty! Praise him!

None can see God above; we can share life and love;
thus may we Godward move, finding him in creation,
holding ev'ry nation.
Sing aloud, loud, loud! sing aloud, loud, loud!
God is good! God is truth! God is beauty! Praise him!

Jesus lived on the earth, hope and life brought to birth
and affirmed human worth, for he came to save us
by the truth he gave us.
Sing aloud, loud, loud! sing aloud, loud, loud!
God is good! God is truth! God is beauty! Praise him!

To our Lord praise we sing, light and life, friend and King,
coming down, love to bring, pattern for our duty,
showing God in beauty.
Sing aloud, loud, loud! sing aloud, loud, loud!
God is good! God is truth! God is beauty! Praise him!

Benediction
One: May you find Jesus standing beside you.
May he be close enough to touch.
All: May he breathe on all our living,
and speak peace into our lives.
One: Go now believing in the Good News.
Christ is risen and lives among us!
All: Allelujah! Amen.
