John 20:19-31
19 When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of the
house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came
and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” 20 After he said this, he
showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the
Lord. 21 Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me,
so I send you.” 22 When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them,
“Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them;
if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”24 But Thomas (who was called the
Twin), one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 So the other
disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see the
mark of the nails in his hands, and put my finger in the mark of the nails and my
hand in his side, I will not believe.”26 A week later his disciples were again in the
house, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were shut, Jesus came and
stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” 27 Then he said to Thomas,
“Put your finger here and see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it in my
side. Do not doubt but believe.” 28 Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my
God!” 29 Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me?
Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe.” 30 Now Jesus
did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this
book. 31 But these are written so that you may come to believe that Jesus is the
Messiah, the Son of God, and that through believing you may have life in his name.
It is a joy to gather together today. Our hope is that through word, music,
fellowship and prayer, you will experience the presence of God in your life. We are
grateful to have those who are our guests in worship today. During the early part
of the service we ask everyone to sign our Friendship Pads or sheets so that we
may have a record of your attendance. If you are a guest and would like more
information about our church, please leave us your contact information. If you are
a member, our Congregational Care team will be checking for people who have
missed four Sundays in a row and making a contact to share our concern and see if
there is a need for which we could offer support. We would appreciate each person
signing the Friendship Pads in order to have accurate information. We don't want
someone to be absent for several Sundays and not know they are missed. This
system will help us more effectively extend our care for one another. Those who
are interested in joining First UMC Mocksville are asked to contact Pastor Glenn
at 336.751.2503
Recent messages are on the church website: www.firstumcmocksville.org. If
Pastor Glenn is needed after office hours, he can be reached at his cell number,
336.813.0425. Bulletins for Kids are available in the narthex of the Sanctuary and
in the lobby of the Family Life Center. Bulletins contain Biblical learning activities
for children ages 3-6 and 7-12.
