Sunday, April 24, 2022 – The Second Sunday of Easter – Earth Day
What might people in our community learn about God from the witness of our lives,– and the life of our church?
Easter is about change,– not just in Jesus, but in us. As Easter people, we live with mystery, and are transformed. For the Season of Easter, we will be reading about the life of the early church from the Book of Acts.
• Acts 5:27-32 (The apostles before the Council)
This passage describes the growing tension between the apostles and the religious authorities. The apostles have been arrested for preaching about Jesus in the Temple. You may want to start the reading from verse 12, which records the arrest of the apostles the day before today’s setting.
• John 20:19-31 (Jesus appears to the disciples)
This week’s Gospel passage begins on the evening of the first Easter Sunday. The disciples receive the Holy Spirit (similar to the Pentecost story from Acts 2, which is set on the 50th day after the first Easter).
You may want to start reading from the start of Chapter 20 (last Sunday’s reading), with Mary Magdalene as the first witness to the empty tomb. Most biblical scholars agree that Chapter 20 was the original ending of John’s Gospel, with Chapter 21 added later, as an epilogue.

If you have a prayer request, please send it to spiritwest.prayerchain@gmail.com.

YOUR BOTTLES FOR THE CHURCH
You may have bottles piling up for recycling. You can bring them to the church (or you can call for pick up). If you want to bring your bottles (and any other recyclable beverage containers) in during our office hours and put them directly in the Bottle Shed (by the garage), give us a call, and we can have the shed open for you. All money raised from the return of bottles goes towards paying down the principal and interest on our mortgage.
