Doubting Thomas

What a glorious Easter celebration it was last week! I can still hear the music in my ears and the Hallelujah Chorus ringing out. And the flowers and sanctuary decorations! All of it was just amazing. Thank you to so many who helped that day to come together.

And after all that, after such a great Sunday, we come the Sunday of doubt. It's one of those little tricks of the church calendar that right after Easter's height, we land into a locked room where the Disciples are afraid. One of them, Thomas, doesn't get to see Jesus the first time and questions the resurrection.

Come and hear what Jesus does and how he shows up time and again in places of doubt. Come hear the story about the Bible and Doubting Thomas.
