I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of Heaven and earth, and in Je-

sus Christ, His only Son Our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,

born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead,

and buried. He descended into Hades; the third day He rose again from the

dead; He ascended into Heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God, the Fa-

ther almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I

believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints,

the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.

Amen.

More powerful than everything else put together. Eventually that sense of power and love tends to spread to others. You feel loved by God and that assurance gives you a kind of power that nothing can take away. Even death is not a real threat to you because you have in your soul the resurrection Jesus Christ.)

the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

Lectionary Readings

Easter Sunday – Color: White.

Acts 10:34-43 (Peter proclaims to Cornelius and his household: We are witnesses that Jesus Christ is raised and ascended, Lord of all, and appointed by God as judge of the living and the dead.) Psalm 118:(1-2), 14-24 (Use Tone 1 in B-flat major.) Colossians 3:1-4 ("You have been raised with Christ… and your life is hidden with Christ in God.") John 20:1-18 (Peter and the beloved disciple verify Mary Magdalene's story that the tomb of Jesus is empty. Mary Magdalene, weeping by the tomb, hears angels tell her Jesus is raised from the dead, but does not believe it. Jesus calls her by name and sends her to announce his coming ascension to the other disciples.) OR Matthew 28:1-10 (An earthquake accompanies the arrival of an angel who rolls away the stone covering the tomb and announces to Mary Magdalene and another Mary that Jesus is raised from the dead and going to Galilee to meet his disciples there. On their way to tell the disciples, Jesus greets them and tells them to tell the disciples to meet him in Galilee.)

Easter Lilies

he Easter Lily is a symbol for the resurrection. Since the lily comes from a bulb that is buried in the ground, it represents life after death. When the flower bursts open, it reminds us of opening Christ’s tomb to find it empty on Easter

morning. It also resembles a trumpet that proclaims the Good News of Easter. The beautiful Easter Lilies on the stage this morning were placed in honor or memory of someone:

Ministries/Activities Within Our Church

���� Session Meeting – The Church Session will meet for the regular monthly meet-ing Tuesday evening at 6:30 here at the church.

���� The next Presbytery Meeting will be with the Murfreesboro Cumberland Pres-byterian Church, 906 East Main (just off the MTSU campus) on Thursday, April 24 at 9:00 AM.

���� New Hope Men’s Ministry will have its start-up meeting Saturday, May 3 at 8:30 in the church kitchen. This will be an organizational meeting. A lite break-fast will be served by the church staff. The Men's Ministry will be a time for men to come together for fellowship, support and building relationships. We will discuss ways to help with needs inside and outside our church, whether through handyman type projects or whatever needs may arise. We will become the focal planning team for events that the men sponsor such as the Mother’s Day Brunch and Valentines Banquet. Working with facilities manager Bill Brown, buildings and grounds maintenance (mowing) will also be a focus. Most importantly we will build on having a better relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ. “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” - Proverbs 27:17.

���� Bicycles for Pine Ridge Indian Reservation: We are collecting bikes and trikes for the “Master’s Hands Outreach Ministries” on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in Oglala, SD. Bob Martin is heading up a mission action. Fid-dlers Grove Cowboy Church is Collecting BICYCLES IN ANY CONDITION. If you have a bike or trike to donate please call, 615-585-5890 and we will be happy to pick up your donation. Deadline - May 25.

���� Church Camps are fast approaching - We are dedicated to every child in our church, those ready for the 4th grade and older, having the privilege of going to camp this June. We serve a lot more children than we have ever served before. We have traditionally paid one half of the camp fee for every child. That will be more costly within itself this year because of the increased numbers. We also know that some of our children will not even be able to pay half their fee. We are setting a $20 minimum for each child attending camp, just to make sure that each child and their family has some investment in the program. So it may be that some of you who don’t have children camp age will “adopt” a child and help them. See Pastor Brad if you would like to help a child get to camp this year.

���� Stephen Ministry - Got a burden? You don’t have to carry that burden alone. You can have a STEPHEN MINISTER who will spend time with you, listen to you, and walk beside you. If you or someone you know is interested in receiving care through the Stephen Ministry program at New Hope, please contact the pas-tor through the Church office at (615) 449-7020 and request that a Stephen min-ister contact you.

The Scripture References

Luke 24:1-12 New International Version (NIV)

Jesus Has Risen!

24 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? 6 He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 7 ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sin-ners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ” 8 Then they remembered his words. 9 When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. 10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles. 11 But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense. 12 Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away, wondering to himself what had happened.

Romans 8:8-17 New International Version (NIV) 8 Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God. 9 You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. 10 But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life[a] because of righteous-ness. 11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of[b] his Spirit who lives in you. 12 Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. 13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live. 14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. 15 The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.[c] And by him we cry, “Abba,

[d] Father.” 16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. 17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. Footnotes: a. Romans 8:10 Or you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive b. Romans 8:11 Some manuscripts bodies through c. Romans 8:15 The Greek word for adoption to sonship is a term referring to the

full legal standing of an adopted male heir in Roman culture; also in verse 23. d. Romans 8:15 Aramaic for father

Thought for the Week

Herbert Jackson tells how, as a new seminary missions class instructor, he was given a car that would not start without a push. So, he devised a plan. He went to the school near his home, got permission to take some children out of class, and had them push his car off. As he made his rounds, he would either park on a hill or leave the engine running. He used this ingenious procedure for two years. Ill health forced Jackson to leave the class, and a new missionary came to that sta-tion. When Jackson proudly began to explain his arrangement for getting the car started, the new man began looking under the hood. Before the explanation was complete, the new missionary interrupted, "Why, Dr. Jackson, I believe the only trouble is this loose cable." He gave the cable a twist, stepped into the car, turned the key, and to Jackson's astonishment, the engine roared to life. For two years needless trouble had become routine. The power was there all the time. Only a loose connec-tion kept Jackson from putting that power to work. J.B. Phillips paraphrases Ephesians 1:19-20, "How tremendous is the power avail-able to us who believe in God." When we make firm our connection with God, his life and power flow through us. – Ernest B. Beevers.
