Come to the Table. Share in the Feast. Join in the celebration. Apart from Christ, you can do nothing. You cannot do God's work without God. So come. Dwell. Welcome the risen Christ who dwells within by the power of the Holy Spirit. Let us worship God.

4/13/2021 0 Comments Call to Worship, E3BYou who are terrified and afraid,
peace be with you. You who are startled by Christ's presence and doubting it, peace be with you. You who are lost in wonder, peace be with you. You are witnesses of the risen Christ at work in the world. Proclaim the Good News in word and deed! Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! 4/6/2021 0 Comments Call to Worship, E2BIt is evening,
and the doors are still locked. Here we wait, for what we aren't sure. We anticipate waiting for a return to what was, but what was can never be again. We are changed. What has transpired among us has impacted us forever. So here we wait, in the evening, with the doors still locked, knowing in our hearts that you will come to us ... that we will see you again if only we remain open and ready. This resurrection day, we will not travel to the tomb, Lord.
We have been in it with you in what has felt like one very long vigil. We are waiting for it to be safe to venture outside into the light after a year of hunkering down in fear, in frustration, in anger, in illness, in faith, in restlessness. We are waiting for justice for our siblings in Christ who have been crucified with you because of their race or their gender or their orientation or their country of origin. We are waiting for comfort in our grief, guidance in our confusion, hope in our despair. This resurrection day, Lord, we are sitting in the shadows as you rise and still we may not recognize you standing before us because of our angst, or understand your imperative because of our surprise. Speak to us clearly, O Lord, we pray. Open our eyes to see you. Open our ears to hear your voice. THIS resurrection day, Lord, grant us courage to share the Good News with confidence: that Jesus Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Thanks be to God! 4/1/2021 0 Comments Prayer of the Day, Easter B Meditation: John 13:1-17, 31b-35
