Second Sunday in Easter
Holy Eucharist, Rite II
April 12, 2026
|
Dear People of Saint John’s, This Sunday we celebrate the Second Sunday of Easter Sunday. We continue to rejoice in the Resurrection of Jesus as he encounters the disciples in the upper room. But Thomas is left out of this encounter. As Jesus returns for this disciple, we may join Thomas in his particular journey to belief: the denial, the conditions he sets up, the encounter with Jesus, the melting into faith. How does Thomas position himself to believe the unbelievable? The church is still full of flowers (thanks to your donations and the flower guild), and the altar guild has still made everything glisten. Dennis Kwarteng will be joining us on the organ this week, and Deb Henderson is providing coffee hour back in the Thompson Room. The Easter Season is 50 days long, and we are still shining with God's light here at Saint John's. Invite a neighbor and come! The Thrift Store is open again this weekend, and the Chosen series resumes. The Food Pantry ministry has filled the gym abundant produce and can always use some extra hands. Stop by this Saturday, too! Next week, Jennifer will be on vacation, and I will be departing on Tuesday for a clergy conference. The office will be closed on Tuesday and Thursday. I am grateful to report that Lois Hodkinson will be staffing the office on Wednesday and Friday. Hard copies of Saint John's Herald have arrived, and they are in the Narthex. We are providing the announcements in a separate stack from the bulletins. The announcements are also available in the Thompson Room and online. For those of you who will be worshiping with us via live stream, be sure to let us know that you are there through the chat feature, so that we can greet you at the passing of the Peace. |
The services and bulletins are found below." Come join in worship!
With gratitude for our life together,
Mother Judith

What to Look For (to Send a Chat)
Once you are viewing the live stream by pressing the link above, there should be a "conversation" to the right of the stream (Top Chat). Like this:
Messages populate from the bottom of the box. You add your message by typing on the "Say something..." line and pressing Enter (or clicking/tapping on the right-pointed arrow under your message). Other messages that come in after yours will file in underneath yours in the running chat above the entry line.
If you're watching the live stream in full screen mode, you'll need to find the chat box. This might be found using the arrow at the bottom center of the screen under the red line. You'll have to click or tap on the screen to see this option, similar to when you want to pause or change the volume, etc.
See that little white down arrow/carat under the red line and Scroll for details? If you tap on that, the screen pulls up, and you see the chat box. You may need to scroll up further to see the "Say something" line.
Sunday Liturgy will be available on YouTube after the conclusion of the 10 am service.
