1 An open and affirming congregation Second Sunday of Easter April 8, 2018 OUR MISSION Responding to God s Call, our mission as The First Congregational Church in Bloomfield, United Church of Christ, is to go out into the world proclaiming God s love for all creation, working for justice, bringing Christ s peace and growing in love and faith through service to others. We are a safe and sacred community that welcomes all people and supports each individual journey of faith.

J. S. Bach (Please use this time for quiet reflection) WELCOME LIFE OF OUR CHURCH WELCOME GUESTS Please fill out the Ritual of Friendship pads PASSING OF THE PEACE CENTERING MOMENT Doubt isn t the opposite of faith; it is an element of faith. - Paul Tillich, Theologian, 20th Century WE WORSHIP GOD INTROIT Prelude from Holberg Suite Edvart Grieg Isabella Wang, pianist CALL TO WORSHIP (RESPONSIVE) Leader: Christ our Savior is risen from the dead! Alleluia! People: Break forth into joy! Sing together! God comforts those whose hearts are broken in sorrow. Leader: We who once suffered in death, we who once cried in despair People: Now we know victory over death! Now we know joy over despair! All: For God has raised Christ from the grave! The tomb is empty and death has been defeated for all the earth. * +HYMN OF PRAISE Come, You Faithful, Raise the Strain # 204 PRAYER OF INVOCATION (UNISON) God of Resurrection, we cry out to you as empty people in a fractured world. We live in a world of Good Fridays: where the innocent suffer and die, where midday shadows smother the light, where hopes and dreams dissolve, where evil seems to triumph. God of Resurrection, we long to discover your presence, we long to feel the rhythm of your power, we stumble toward the tombs in our lives and long to find them empty. Bring Easter to our hearts, to our eyes and ears, to our lives this morning. In the name of Christ, whose life and love could not be stamped out, whose resurrection hope is the
3 hope which plants love and laughter in our lives and lures them to sprout and bloom and blossom like spring flowers in the morning sun, we say, Amen. CALL TO CONFESSION (UNISON) O God, forgive us when we fill up every minute with something to do, complain or boast about how busy we are, waste other people s time by making them wait for us. God, forgive us when we forget how sacred every minute is, waste our own time in unimportant details or watch the clock in our daily prayer. Hear us in the name of Jesus of Nazareth who always had time for work and rest and called his disciples to be attentive to every day. Amen. * ASSURANCE OF PARDON AND LORD S PRAYER Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil for thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever, Amen! MUSICAL OFFERING Allegro from Sonata in D Major Joseph Haydn Angelina Wang, pianist CHILDREN S INSPIRATIONAL MOMENT Dorine DeCarli GOD IS IN OUR MIDST, GOD IS PRESENT, GOD IS STILL SPEAKING! LET S OPEN OUR HEARTS AND MINDS TO GOD S GOOD NEWS. GOD IS STILL SPEAKING! FIRST LESSON ~ Psalm 133 NT p.706 in black Bible, p.575 in red SECOND LESSON ~ John 20: NT p.141 in black Bible, p.115 in red CONGREGATIONAL RESPONSE Write These Words in Our Hearts # 298 Write these words in our hearts, we beseech you, O God. REFLECTION DOUBTING THOMAS AND THE CHRISTIAN LIFE Rev. Joseph Tobin +RESPONSIVE HYMN We Walk by Faith and Not by Sight # 424 WE RESPOND TO GOD S LOVE OFFERTORY PRAYER ~ OFFERTORY Improvisation on Joy Dawned Again on Easter Day PRESENTATION OF OFFERING DOXOLOGY # 44 Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow; Praise God, all creatures here below; Praise God above ye heavenly hosts; Creator, Christ, and Holy Ghost. Amen. PRAYER AND DEDICATION OF OFFERINGS (UNISON) God, you have given each of us gifts to use as members of the body of Christ. Here are our gifts the work of our hands, our hearts, and our lives. We pray that they may help to bring the Good News of Jesus Christ to our world, today and always, here and everywhere. Amen. - Daniel Hayward
