We are opening this ministry up to Individuals or families who would be willing to occasionally be hosts or hostesses.
It’s simply making coffee, lemonade, bringing homemade or store bought items, and cleaning up afterwards.

CALL TO WORSHIP
This is the good news—
The grave is empty,
Christ is Risen.
Hallelujah!
This is the good news—
The light shines in the darkness,
And the darkness can never put it out.
Hallelujah!
This is the good news—
Once we were no people,
Now we are God’s people.
Halleluah!
Christ is our peace,
The indestructible peace
We now share with each other.
Hallelujah!
OPENING HYMN: ”Christ the Lord is Risen Today” #302 UMH
OPENING PRAYER:
In the peace of the risen Christ, let us pray to the Lord: that our risen Savior may grant us victory over all our enemies seen and unseen.
That he may crush beneath our feet the prince of darkness and all evil powers.
That he may raise is up with him in heaven
That he may fill us with the joy of his holy and life-giving resurrection
That he may provide through us for those who lack food, work and shelter
That by his love, wars and famine may cease through all the earth
That isolated and persecuted churches find fresh strength in the gospel
That all those who have gone before us in the faith of Christ
may find refreshment, light and peace
Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
