Worship Series: "We Are Witnesses"
from umcdiscipleship.org
The season after Easter is where we consider what it means to walk with Jesus into eternity. But
it is not about life after death, or rather not only about life after death. It is very much about
life before death, life in the face of death. It is about life and about bearing witness to a life
that resembles a kin-dom existence right here and right now. It is this life, this justice and
righteousness, this hope and this glory to which we can say with confidence, “We are witnesses.”
This Week's Theme: "Opened the Heart"Liturgical Resources
If the Third Sunday of Easter was about hearing God’s call for the first time, then this week is
about carrying on that conversation. God doesn’t tap us on the shoulder and then leave us alone to
figure it out from there. God is a constant presence, guiding, advising, hinting, strengthening us
for the journey into discipleship.
