Lord, we are like Thomas with our questions and our doubts. We sometimes need to see in order to believe, we need you in order to have faith. We too need the peace you bring because our world is fraught with violence, and unrest. Just as Thomas confessed you are his Lord and his God, we boldly claim you for our lives. We thank you for the blessing you have given us, the ones who believe without seeing. May the doors of our churches be open to all and that doubters be welcomed here. In the name of the risen Lord Jesus, Amen. Children’s Chat Scripture – John 20:24-31 Pastor: The Word of God for the people of God. People: Thanks be to God.

Leader: We cannot have it both ways. As the prophet Elijah declared long ago: People: How long does it take to make up your mind? If the Lord is God, then follow him. If idols are your gods, then get real and admit. Leader: Our God is greatly to be praised and honored above all worldly gods. People: We will declare our God’s glory among the nations and celebrate God’s love among all created in God’s image. * Opening Hymn – “O God of Every Nation” #435 Opening Prayer God of All, You created us for each other. You set in us a yearning for companionship and an empathy that binds us together, protecting each other and delighting in one another. Yet too often we have broken down our relationships instead of building them up. We have been set against one another with the lie of scarcity. We have built systems and economies that widen the gap of resourcesrather than safeguarding equitable practices. Too many, and growing numbers, are suffering hardships, food insecurity, joblessness. We cannot fathom the proportions of loss and so we look away,sometimes even from the need in our own community. Help us, Healer. Show us our empathy. Forgive our complacence.
