What's Happening this Sunday?
Scripture for Sunday, April 5
Luke 24:1-12
But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, taking the spices that they had prepared. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in, they did not find the body. While they were perplexed about this, suddenly two men in dazzling clothes stood beside them. The women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen.
"Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be handed over to sinners, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again." Then they remembered his words, and returning from the tomb, they told all this to the eleven and to all the rest. Now it was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles. But these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them. But Peter got up and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; then he went home, amazed at what had happened.
Speakers: Michael Bulkaam, David McCleary, and Heather Weir
Message Topic: It's Easter! It's all about the resurrection of Jesus, which is a promise of resurrection for us as well.
Music
Listen to one of our newer songs.
This song is a prayer attributed to St. Patrick back in the 5th century. It's a prayer for strength and courage when facing the world, especially when we feel powerless. It reminds us that all the power we need is the presence of Christ with us.
Communion - this Sunday
Communion is a symbolic reenactment of the last supper Jesus shared with his disciples. The bread (gluten-free) and juice symbolize his death, point to his resurrection, and remind us that through his death he defeated the power of sin and death over us. Everyone is free to choose for themselves whether to participate or not.
DIG DEEPER into one of our recent sermons
The Great Banquet: There's a Place for You
Sunday, March 29, 2026
This sermon explores Jesus' metaphor of a great banquet to which everyone is invited. Will we accept the invitation?
Questions for Reflection (Adults)
- When you hear that “there’s a place for you at the table,” what is your honest reaction—comfort, doubt, resistance, gratitude? Why?
- In what ways might you assume you are “already in” with God? How does this parable challenge that assumption?
- Who in your life might need to hear, “There’s a place for you—will you come?”
- How does this image of a generous, welcoming banquet challenge or reshape your understanding of God?
Questions for Reflection (Children)
- In the story, lots of people were invited to a big party. Why do you think they said no? Who ended up coming to the party instead?
- What do you imagine God’s “big banquet” might be like?
- What are some “excuses” kids might make when it comes to listening to or following God?
- If God is like the host who is excited to welcome everyone, how can we be like that too?
