I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting. Amen. *HYMN OF PREPARATION The Day Of Resurrection No. 247 SCRIPTURE JOHN 20:1-18 Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don t know where they have put him! So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in. Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus head. The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen. Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed. (They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.) Then the disciples went back to where they were staying. Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot. They asked her, Woman, why are you crying? They have taken my Lord away, she said, and I don t know where they have put him. At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus. He asked her, Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for? Thinking he was the gardener, she said, Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him. Jesus said to her, Mary. She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, Rabboni! (which means Teacher ). Jesus said, Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God. Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: I have seen the Lord! And she told them that he had said these things to her. (Leader)... The word of God for the people of God. (People)... Thanks be to God.

The Gospel of John celebrates Jesus as the Word of God, the source of life, light, and truth. It is the most g4g GOLFING FOR GOD SPIRITUAL of the Gospels, and the most BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN. Scenes of night and day are intended to help its readers move from DARKNESS to LIGHT. Only in the light of Christ can we TRULY SEE, TRULY LIVE, and TRULY BE ALL THAT GOD WANTS US TO BE. PICTURED ABOVE Sam, the grandson of one of our g4g golfers: Andy DeVries. On Sunday April 2 while Sam was visiting his grandparents, Kay & Andy DeVries, they attended the 10:00 service at Roser. Andy sang in the choir. Bill and Dorothy Carlin, who are also g4g participants, brought 2 baseball caps and 2 baseballs for Sam. Pastor Neil presented the gifts to Sam during the service. This was because at the previous g4g event on March 29, Andy told us about how Sam was born with only 2 heart chambers, but he is able to compensate in certain ways to be an active, sports-interested boy. Roser prayed for Sam the day before he had heart surgery. Another one of many prayers answered for Sam! Praise the Lord! BE A KEY PLAYER We did it! Through the generosity of many key players we have reached and exceeded our fundraising goal of $5000 for a Sanctuary grand piano. Together with the $5000 gift from our matching donor and the $10,000 in our Music Special account we will have over $20,000 to make this dream a reality. Piano shopping will take place throughout the next few months until we find just the right instrument. There will also be added costs for moving, tuning, covers, etc. If you would still like to contribute it is not too late. Please indicate grand piano on the memo line of your check and place it in the offering plate or forward to the church office. One-time donations can also be made on the web site: Please use the piano fund line item. Many, many thanks from Kristen and the Music Committee for your support of this investment! On April 30 the WOMEN S CHORUS will sing for both services. Females young and old who enjoy singing are invited to join us! We will REHEARSE ON THURSDAY, APRIL 27 from 7:00 to 7:30 PM in the Sanctuary. Please let Kristen know if you are interested in joining us. ( or kristen@roserchurch.com)
