Hatley Ϯ THE TRINITY CHIMES Ϯ POSTLUDE Organ John 20:19-31 19 When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” 20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. 21 Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” 22 When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”24 But Thomas (who was called the Twin), one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 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.”26 A week later his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were shut, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” 27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it in my side. Do not doubt but believe.” 28 Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” 29 Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe.” 30 Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book. 31 But these are written so that you may come to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that through believing you may have life in his name. It is a joy to gather together today. Our hope is that through word, music, fellowship and prayer, you will experience the presence of God in your life. We are grateful to have those who are our guests in worship today. During the early part of the service we ask everyone to sign our Friendship Pads or sheets so that we may have a record of your attendance. If you are a guest and would like more information about our church, please leave us your contact information. If you are a member, our Congregational Care team will be checking for people who have missed four Sundays in a row and making a contact to share our concern and see if there is a need for which we could offer support. We would appreciate each person signing the Friendship Pads in order to have accurate information. We don't want someone to be absent for several Sundays and not know they are missed. This system will help us more effectively extend our care for one another. Those who are interested in joining First UMC Mocksville are asked to contact Pastor Glenn at 336.751.2503 Recent messages are on the church website: www.firstumcmocksville.org.
