THE FIRST LESSON Acts 2:14a, 22-32
THE GOSPEL LESSON John 20: 19-31
SERMON "Recognizing Resurrection"
Worship Notes
Welcome to worship at Westminster on this Second Sunday of Easter in which we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The liturgical season of Eastertide begins on Easter Sunday (April 24) and concludes with our observance of Ascension Sunday (June 5) before the season of Pentecost begins on June 12. The liturgical color for Eastertide is white.
Throughout Eastertide, we reflect in worship on how we encounter and recognize the risen Christ in our midst. In worship today, we read the account of "Doubting Thomas." The hymns and service music we sing this morning all reflect the joyous celebration of Christ's resurrection and speak of the role doubt plays in our faith journey.
