As an expression of support and gratitude for the faithful men and women who put their lives on the line daily, a coalition of churches in Central Florida have designated today as Law Enforcement Sunday. We invite you to take time to pray for these brave public servants, law enforcement officers, firefighters and EMTs. We’re humbled by their service and seek God’s blessing on each one and their families.

NOTES

G E N E S I S W O R S H I P T R A D I T I O N A L W O R S H I P

It may seem like a while since we celebrated the resurrection on Easter Sunday. Keep in mind that during these past days and for another week or so, Jesus remained on earth appearing to different people and groups of people at different times. Often it was around a meal. The Scriptures tell us that He appeared to more than 500 people at one time. Look around, that is a few more people than are in this service. That fact is a strong witness to a physical resurrection. Jesus’ physical appearances after the resurrection had a life-changing impact on the disciples. They went into ministry full-time! They became ambassadors for Christ wherever they went. And they went all over the then-known world, from Spain to India and into northern Africa. They left their previous occupations when they heard God’s call to their lives. The result was hard to imagine...through God’s Spirit living and empowering them, they changed the world. God has been empowering and calling ordinary people ever since, including some of the people sitting around you! Might God be calling you? Something to ponder. - Dr. Dan Sharp

*Passing of the Peace St. Paul always greeted with the words, “The peace of God be with you.” This is an appropriate way to greet fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, and so we say, “The peace of the Lord be with you” and respond, “And also with you.” We then pass this greeting of peace to one another. At the passing of the peace we should earnestly desire God’s peace upon each person we greet.
