Extended Worship - April 19, 2020
Happy Second Sunday of Easter! Much like Christmas, the season of Easter continues after the day itself. We will continue to reflect on the resurrection for a number of weeks; this week we consider the story of "Doubting Thomas" and what it means to be disciples called to confidence. As a reminder, most of the video resources I link to in this message are YouTube videos; this means you can watch them and participate in worship at a time that is best for you. You are also free to share these links with anyone who might find them meaningful!
Worship Videos
Our worship service this week includes two hymns led by Robert and Carla, a special musical offering by Carla featuring some Amazing flue work, and time for us to hear scripture and pray together.

Music for Social Distancing
Each week our staff will be sharing some music that is bringing them joy. Some may relate to the sermon, others are just music for the times. Each of these is being added to a playlist on our church YouTube Channel called "Music for Social Distancing" so over the weeks we will build quite the collection! You can click here for the playlist.
This week's songs from Chris are:
Wherever You Go by Mike Crawford -- This loose paraphrase of Psalm 139 by Kansas City based Mike Crawford opens, "Wherever you go / There will I be / Down south or up north / Out west or back east... wherever you go, there will I be." This is a favorite song of David's, and I hope it brings you peace and joy today!
Magnificent, Marvelous, Matchless Love by Keith & Kristyn Getty -- A rolling song of praise for Christ, from whom we receive magnificent, marvelous, matchless love!
Nearer, My God, to Thee by BYU Vocal Point -- A modern arrangement of the classic hymn sung by a men's acapella group from BYU.
This week's songs from Carla are:
Down to the River (Virtual Choir)
Bridge Over Troubled Waters performed by Peter Hollens
