* Hymn #234 “Crown Him with Many Crowns”

Scripture ~ John 20:1-18 Pastor Josh Rowley

Prayer of Confession (Unison) Pastor Ben PierceO God, the message of Easter has come again before we were ready to receive the enormity of it. We have left Jesus in the tomb, buried him in what is trivial, lest he upset our daily lives. The Jesus of long ago seems more comfortable to us than the Christ who is risen today in our midst. We confess our reluctance to let Jesus claim us and transform all of our days. O God, we need your forgiveness and healing.

Assurance of Forgiveness ~ Romans 8:34-35, 37-39

SundayConversationsMay 6

Book Review: Was America Founded as a Christian Nation? It is both a perennial question and the title of a fascinating new book by John Fea.Fea is a Christian American History Professor at a Christian College in Pennsylvania, and his book is especially timely as a presidential election

season gets underway and candidates inevitably speak of the founding fathers. Purchase a book at www.amazon.com ($19) or elsewhere, read it, and join us May 6. If you want a definitive answer to this question, then listen to the politicians; if you want to unpack this question in all its complexity, then come and join this conversation led by Pastor Josh.
