Good Morning! We're glad to have you with us today. As you wait for the service to begin, ask the Holy Spirit to prepare your heart for worship; during the service, humble yourself to receive His Word; after the service, go forth to share His Word with others with great joy!

The Lord’s Supper is scheduled to be served on the 1st Sunday morning and the 3rd Sunday evening of

Welcome & Church Family Focus
Hearing assistance devices are available, see ushers.
Trinity encourages families to worship together even from the youngest of ages. We make available a glassed in “cry room” if parents would like to use it for infants and as they train young children in
worship. Nursery and Jr. Church are options for those who desire to use them.
A Nursery is available for infants through 3 years in Room 101 & Room 103. Parents, please pick up your children immediately after the worship service.
Trinity Presbyterian Church extends a SPECIAL WELCOME to our guests on this Easter
Day. We are glad that you are here with us as we worship God as a church family. We hope
you will pick up a free copy of the Bible and/or some of the books that you will find on the
tables in the lobby/narthex. If you have any questions about what we are doing as a
congregation please don’t hesitate to ask those around you, or ask someone to take you to any
of our pastors or elders or deacons for additional help.
During the worship service we take an offering. This is a time for our members and regular
attenders to give tithes and offerings to God which are used to support the worship and work
of our congregation here in Harrisburg, Hershey, and around the world. We are not asking
our guests to contribute during the offering, but we would ask that you fill out the
information sheet on the back page of the bulletin and place that in the offering plate so that
we may know of your presence with us today.

Shorter Catechism Q & A #76 Top of Page 11
The Lord Jesus Christ Cared For Doubting Thomas John 20:24-28 Now Thomas, one of the Twelve, called the Twin, 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
in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place
my hand into his side, I will never believe.” Eight days later, his disciples were inside
again, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood
among them and said, “Peace be with you.” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger
here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve,
but believe.” Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!”
God’s People Respond by Confession of Sin
God Assures His People of His Grace in Christ John 20:28-29 Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Have you believed
because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
