No one truly knows Christ unless they follow Him daily in life" - Hans Denck

Thank you for joining us in worship today.  If this is your first time at Staunton Mennonite, please fill out the “Welcome” card in the back of the pew and place it in the offering plate.

Peace be with you Praising Leader: Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord. People: We bless you from the house of the Lord. Leader: The Lord is God, and he has given us light. People: This is the Lord’s doing and it is marvelous in our eyes. Leader: The Lord is our strength and our might, People: The Lord has become our salvation. All: O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. God’s steadfast love endures forever. Confession/Reconciling God is alive and at work in our world. But sometimes we look away and miss God’s work. Other times we won’t believe without seeing it ourselves. We, like Thomas, finger the wounds in Jesus’ side when we refuse to believe. (silence) Jesus said, “Blessed are you who have not seen with your own eyes and yet have come to believe.” Through believing, you have life in Jesus’ name. Sending May the grace and peace of God, the Alpha and Omega, go with you. May the grace and peace of God, the one who is and was and is to come, go with you always. Amen. —Diane Zaerr Brenneman, Wellman, Iowa Bible readings for today: Acts 5:27-32; Psalm 118:14-29 or Psalm 150; Revelation 1:4-8; John 20:19-31.
