Confirmation class meets Monday nights. Clean up day for Camp Menesetung and Blyth’s cabin Saturday, May 9. Many hands make less work. The call to worship was followed by the prayer of approach and the first hymn, Jesus Stand Among Us. The first scripture reading was John 20: 1-10.The children came to the front forstory time. Rev. Gary Clark showed them a picture of a manabout to step on a banana peel andone of a dog that slipped into a pool.He asked the children what camenext.He explained to the children thatthis is like the scripture they had justheard. The stone was rolled away from the door of the cave where Jesus’ body was laid to rest and the women didn’t know what would come next. The hymn, I Danced in the Morning was sung while the children went downstairs for their time of worship. The second scripture was Acts 10: 34-43. The choir sang an anthem, Praise the Lord with the Sound of Trumpets. Rev. Clark’s message for the adults was, Daring to Run from the Tomb. There seems to be a lot of running in the scriptures, he said. Mary runs to tell Peter and John that the stone had been rolled away from the tomb. Peter and John run to seefor themselves. John was there firstbut he didn’t go in. Peter got thereand went into the tomb and foundthe grave clothes folded and thetomb was empty. Mary stayedoutside and wept. Peter and Johnwent home.When people are sad, said Rev.Clark it makes them feel better ifsomeone like Mary comforts them. “God is always with us and with the person that is comforting us,” he said. The next hymn was, God Who Gives to Life its Goodness. The Sunday school served birthday cake and coffee to help celebrate the April birthdays of the congregation and Sunday school members. A short official board meeting was held after church. I’m walkin’ Nordic walking sessions began last week with the first instructional session taking place in Blyth.
