Fourth Sunday of Easter: Good Shepherd Sunday May 3, 2020

Sunday May 03, 2020

In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we welcome you to St. Mark’s. We especially welcome
our guests who have joined us today. We pray you will be strengthened by the good news
about God’s grace, love, and forgiveness to us through Jesus.

Focus of Today’s Service: Our Good Shepherd keeps us safe. Sheep are pretty helpless creatures, and they can go astray pretty easily. That makes them a pretty good picture of…who we are. We can come under attack spiritually by so many enemies, and we can also let ourselves be led astray by so many things. That’s why today we celebrate the fact that our God has sent us a Good Shepherd, Jesus. He not only keeps us safe like a good shepherd would, but he gives us life and life abundantly!

Third Sunday of Easter April 26, 2020

Sunday Apr 26, 2020

Worship Focus: Is faith in Jesus only for the good times, or only for the not good times of life? It is for both. During the good we have a tendency to put Jesus on the side. During the not good we like to blame Jesus or run to Him with promises only to break them when good again. Today we are reminded of the fact that while we are in this world, this world does not have what we truly need; we are not to put our faith and hope in it or get too comfortable living in this world. We rather are to keep our faith and hope in what helps us through this life and has only the best to come. Jesus is the source of a full life. What this means is our focus today.

Second Sunday of Easter
April 19, 2020

In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we welcome you to St. Mark’s. We especially welcome
our guests who have joined us today. We pray you will be strengthened by the good news
about God’s grace, love, and forgiveness to us through Jesus.

Worship Focus:
Have we trials and temptations still to deal with? Didn’t Jesus die and rise again
to take care of such on our behalf? Having to go through such does not negate what Jesus has
gained for us; rather such things heighten the importance of what He came to do and what He has
accomplished. Instead of such conquering us, we in Christ are the conquerors. We have been given
reasons to rejoice even in the midst of trial and temptation, trials and temptations we can endure
and overcome thanks to Christ. Rejoice, dear friend, rejoice in the news of sins forgiven and life in
heaven is coming.

The Service of Darkness Friday

Saturday Apr 11, 2020

ONE DAY THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING: GOOD FRIDAY

On Good Friday, the Christian Church remembers the crucifixion of our Lord Jesus. Although our remembrance is solemn, it is not a message of gloom. It is a message of adoration toward Jesus, the Lamb of God. On this day almost 2,000 years ago, Jesus offered up his life as the atoning sacrifice for the sins of the world. The Service of Darkness—often called Tenebrae(Latin for “darkness”)—guides us to reflect deeply on Jesus’ sufferings for our sake as well as the great cost of our forgiveness. In the chancel burns a seven-fold candelabrum in the shape of a crown of thorns. The candles will be extinguished as the service progresses. At the end of the service, the final candle is removed from the chancel, leaving the sanctuary in tenebrae for silent prayer. The service is closed by a loud sound, called the strepitus(Latin for “crash” or “loud noise”). The strepitushas been interpreted by worshippers in a number of ways. Some see it as a symbol to remind us of the stone that was rolled in front of Jesus’ tomb to shut it; others see it as a statement of the cataclysmic nature of Christ’s sacrifice; still others view it as foreshadowing the rending of Christ’s tomb at his resurrection on Easter morning. The final candle, which is still burning, is returned to its place at the end of the service before the congregation departs the church, leaving a symbolic glimmer of gospel hope pointing forward to Easter morning amidst the darkness that necessitated Good Friday.

Maundy Thursday – New Command

Thursday Apr 09, 2020

Maundy Thursday – New Command
April 9, 2020

Worship Focus: In the Gospel of John, chapter 20, we are told, “But these are written that you may
believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.”
It is because of this truth we are gathered here once again to hear how Jesus Christ has made such a
life possible. It was not an easy feat. The way to our having a life that goes beyond the day to day
routines of this life and which holds certainty beyond this life came at a great price. Jesus had to die,
or we were going to end up dead. This is important because there is a death beyond the physical. The
death Jesus enables us to be free from meant he had to go to war. During this time of Lent we will be
looking at, from various vantage points, this war he entered so we could have life in his name. The
Lord deepen your appreciation for this life you have been given as you hear for the first time or the
how many times the length Jesus was willing to go with you in mind. THE SON OF GOD GOES
FORTH TO WAR.

The word ‘Maundy” is of Latin origin. It has to do with the mandate Jesus gave His disciples (see John 13:34). He who is love wants us to love one another.
