Hymn of Praise
He Lives
I serve a risen Saviour, Hes in the world today; I know that He is living, Whatever men may say; I see His hand of mercy, I hear His voice of cheer, And just the time I need Him Hes always near.
Unison Scriptures
7:00 a.m.
Verse 1
JOHN 20:19-21a (NRSV)

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. 20After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. 21Jesus said to them again, Peace be with you.
19
He lives, He lives, Christ Jesus lives today! He walks with me and He talks with me Along lifes narrow way. He lives, He lives, Salvation to impart! You ask me how I know He lives: He lives within my heart.
Chorus
----------------------------9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m.
LUKE 23:32-49 (*CPV)

The two other criminals were taken out with him to be killed. And when they came to a place called "Skull," there they killed him and the criminals, the one on his right and the other on his left. Jesus said, "Father forgive them, for they don't know what they're up to." They rolled dice to see who would get his clothes.
32
In all the world around me I see His loving care, And tho my heart grows weary I never will despair; I know that He is leading Thro all the stormy blast, The day of His appearing Will come at last.
Verse 2
The crowd stood around staring. The leaders thumbed their noses at him. They said, "He saved others; let him save himself, if he is really God's special Leader." The policemen, too, made fun of him. They offered him a drink of whiskey. They said, "Since you are the Head of the Church, save yourself."
HYMN OF PRAISE/UNISON SCRIPTURES
Unison Scriptures
One of the criminals hanging beside him railed at him, "hey, you, ain't you the Leader? Save yourself and us." But the other one rebuked him. He said, "Ain't you got no fear of God, seeing as how you're accused of the same thing he is? And we had it comin' to us, and got just what we deserved for what we done. But him, he ain't broke no law." And we said "Please, Jesus, remember me when you git your Movement goin'." He said to him, "I tell you straight, today you'll be with me in highest Heaven."

1 CORINTHIANS 15:1-10 (NIV)

Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. 3For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve. 6After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.
1
It was already about noon. The sun's light went out and darkness settled over the land until three o'clock. The big curtain in the sanctuary was split in two. And calling out with a loud cry, Jesus said, "O Father, I'm placing my spirit in your hands." He said this and he died. Now the police captain, when he saw how it had happened, praised God and said, "Surely this was a good man!" The whole crowd, who had come along for the sight, when they saw how it all turned out, went home heaving great sobs. And the people who had known him, with the women who had followed him all the way from Alabama, stood off in the distance to see what was going on.
44
Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born. 9For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of themyet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.

*This is a modern Bible translation (1969) from the book The Cotton Patch Version of Luke and Acts: Jesus' Doings and the Happenings, by Clarence L. Jordan of Americus, Georgia. One of his wishes, in reinterpreting the Bible for his contemporaries, was that, "Possibly the wind of Pentecost will blow through our houses, and its fire enkindle our hearts."

GETTING TO THE HEART OF THINGS IT ALL COMES TOGETHER
If you could have been with Jesus at any time during his ministry, what would you choose? A great miracle, like restoring sight to a blind man? Or a tender moment, like his welcoming and blessing little children? For a person who wants to understand what faith and life are all about, perhaps the best time would be after the resurrection, when Jesus was walking with two of his followers on the road to Emmaus. We are told that beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. (Luke 24:27) All of us who have affirmed our own belief and discipleship, know that Jesus path and our own paths are not easy ones. We know times of uncertainty, when we wonder which way to turn. Emotions, that include everything from doubt to fear, may make us uncertain as to whether the path we have chosen is the right one. If we could have been in on the conversation along the road to Emmaus, we would have seen how it all fits together. Jesus, in a sense, wrapped it up for them. None of us knows just what Jesus told them, but there are glimpses we can find. Start, as Jesus did, with Moses and the story of creation. God brings order out of chaos and calls it good. Moses delivers the Israelites out of oppression in Egypt and opens up a Promised Land before them. Prophets call people to righteous living with words like What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? (Micah 6:8) The resurrection gives a benediction to it all. It assures us that nothing can keep Gods presence from being with us forever. It reminds us that there are things in life that are eternal and undying. Though at times we, and ideals we believe in, may seem defeated and lost, with Gods help they rise again. Christ, and we, are risen today. Alleluia!

Raise the Roof

Then I said to them, You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been burned with fire. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and we will no longer be in disgrace. . . . They replied, Let us start rebuilding. So they began this good work. Nehemiah 2:17-18 NIV
As of April 15, 1,160 members/families have made pledges to our Raise the Roof campaign. Those pledges now total $4,494,979.
