This Sunday The gospel for the third Sunday of Easter is always one in which the risen Christ shares food with the disciples, meals that are the Easter template for the meal we share each Lord's day. In today's gospel, Jesus both shares the disciples' food and shows them the meaning of his suffering, death, and resurrection through the scriptures: the two main elements of our Sunday worship. Readings Acts 3:12-19, Psalm 4, 1 John 3:1-7, Luke 24:36b-48 This week, God's Closet also received a nice donation from Girl Scout Troop 20186.  The scouts will be visiting God's Closet in the near future.
