Zoom Communion following postlude
Second Sunday of Easter
The theme of the Day: In Sunday’s gospel the risen Christ appears to the disciples and offers them the gift of peace Even amid doubts and questions, we experience the resurrection in our Sunday gathering around word and meal, and in our everyday lives
Throughout the coming Sundays of Easter the first two readings will be from the Acts of the Apostles and the first letter of Peter Even as the early Christians proclaimed the resurrection, we rejoice in the new birth and living hope we receive in baptism.
Join us as we welcome Bishop Axel Piper and Pastor Christoph from our Companion Synod - The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bavaria – Church District of Augsburg and Swabia.
Later that evening they will travel to Savannah for a celebration and signing of a 10-year extension agreement as companion synods. Click here: https://www.elca-ses.org/BavariaPartnership for more information

Musicians Needed for Redeemer's Front Porch Summer Band
