Fourth Sunday of Easter
Join us in person and online for worship service starting at 9:55 with gathering music.
Rising from Fear
When it’s time to hit the road for a trip, many of us make a habit of praying for travelling mercies –
prayers for safety, protection, and for a uneventful journey from Point A to Point B.
This Sunday, we catch up with a couple disciples making their way home from Jerusalem after a most eventful week,
where they experience a different kind of travelling mercy on their journey.
Their travels are interrupted by a stranger, listening ear, an invitation, and a revelation.
The risen Christ was present with them!
As we continue “Rising Strong,” our series on encounters with the resurrected Lord,
we just might find that God has been present with us in surprising ways all along.
