36 While they were talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to
them, “Peace be with you.” 37 They were startled and terrified, and thought that
they were seeing a ghost. 38 He said to them, “Why are you frightened, and why do
doubts arise in your hearts? 39 Look at my hands and my feet; see that it is I
myself. Touch me and see; for a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you see
that I have.” 40 And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.
41 While in their joy they were disbelieving and still wondering, he said to them,
“Have you anything here to eat?” 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43 and
he took it and ate in their presence. 44 Then he said to them, “These are my words
that I spoke to you while I was still with you—that everything written about me in
the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms must be fulfilled.” 45 Then he
opened their minds to understand the scriptures, 46 and he said to them, “Thus it
is written, that the Messiah is to suffer and to rise from the dead on the third day,
47 and that repentance and forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed in his name to
all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things. 49 And
see, I am sending upon you what my Father promised; so stay here in the city until
you have been clothed with power from on high.”
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 Fellowship Folders 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
