Second Sunday of Easter: Unless I See

You are invited to join us for Coffeehouse Worship!

“Thomas, 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.”

Our theme for worship this week is Thomas and his need to see something real before his belief can kick in. If we are truthful, we all want that. We all find it easier to believe when we can see something. So, then this will be a worship that celebrates showing. We will show the gospel at work in people’s lives. We show the difference it makes in how we live each day. We show a motivating hope that keeps joy at work in the community of faith. Today we show our story, our own people, our mission and service. There are stories to tell, even during this time of pandemics. Hope rises and clings ahold even in difficult situations, most especially in difficult situations. Faith is alive, let us hear the stories, tell the stories and create the stories that show God’s love being shared.
