    Later that first Easter Sunday, the disciples had gatheredtogether, but, fearful of the Jewish authorities,We locked all the doors in the house.Jesus entered, stood among them, and said, "Peace be untoyou."

    Then he showed us his hands and his pierced side.The disciples, seeing the Master with their own eyes, wereexuberant. Jesus repeated his greeting: "Peace to you. Just as

    the Father sent me, so I now send you."Then he took a deep breath and breathed into us!"Receive the Holy Spirit," he said. And we did!*HYMN #312G Christ is Alive! vss. 1-2*AFFIRMATION of RESURRECTION FAITH !

    THE NICENE CREED

    We believe in one God,

    the Father, the Almighty,

    maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

    We believe in our Lord, Jesus Christ,the only Son of God,

    eternally begotten of the Father,God from God, Light from Light,

    true God from true God,

    begotten, not made,of one Being with the Father.

    Through him all things were made.

    For us and for our salvationhe came down from heaven:

    by the power of the Holy Spirithe became incarnate from the virgin, Mary, and was made

    human.

    For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;he suffered and was buried.

    On the third day he rose againin accordance with the Scriptures;

    he ascended into heaven

    and is seated at the right hand of the Father.He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,

    and his kingdom will have no end.

    We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord the giver of life,

    who proceeds from the Father and the Son.With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified.

    he has spoken through the prophets.

    We believe in one holy, catholic and apostolic church.We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.We look for the resurrection of the dead,

    and the life of the world to come. Amen.

    The glory of the Lord abides with us.We welcome all who have come to lift uptheir hearts and minds to Almighty God,our loving Creator.This months Officer Leaders:

    It is never too early to sign up for Vacation Bible

    School!! If you are willing and able to volunteer your

    time this year for VBS please use the sign up sheets in

    the narthex. This summer VBS will be held from June 24th

    June 28th. Kids will be gearing up for the adventure of a

    lifetime on a Serengeti Trek where kids are wild about God!

    More information will follow in the near future. If you have

    any questions please see Melanie Richman.

    The collection crew is up and running again this year in

    order to collect and distribute food that would otherwise be

    discarded. Many places such as farms, farm markets, or

    stores may discard food that they cannot sell. If you are

    interested and willing to help out, please see Melanie

    Richman or use the sign up sheet in the narthex.

    The Mission of the Month for April is:

    Meals on WheelsPlease keep this ministry in your prayers.

    Meals on Wheels is a ministry of Salem County that

    provides meals for those people in our community who would

    need a healthy, hot meal once or twice a day. The elderly,terminally ill or homebound are recipients of these blessings.

    We have had many people in our church over the years who

    were on delivery teams to take these meals into homes. It

    involves more than just dropping a meal off but often

    includes the building of personal relationships with the

    recipients.
