What does it mean to say encounter the Risen Lord? Is it simply a doctrine we believe? Is it a statement of faith? Pastor Russ teaches from John 20:1-18, telling the story of the Mary's encounter with the risen Jesus and shows us that our encounter with the Living Christ can mean so much more.
The worship service is 32 minutes long and includes a time of prayer, scripture, a number of favorite hymns, preaching as well as communion. You may choose to participate, or simply meditate as we tell of Jesus' invitation to "do this in remembrance of me." If you would like to share with us at the table that goes beyond earthly boundaries of time, place, and structure, we ask that you prepare a piece of bread of some type and a drink such as grape juice, wine, or water. As we pray, our prayers extend to where you are. If you are unable to eat or drink, you may want to use a symbolic gesture or mental symbol as you come together at this table of remembrance with us.
