This Week The disciples make a big splash and breakfast with the risen Jesus in the gospel. Wading in the water (remembering our baptism) and eating with Jesus (celebrating the holy communion) is our weekly encounter with the risen Christ. Jesus asks us, with Peter, again and again: Do you love me? And Jesus invites us, again and again, to follow him, bringing the Easter life to others. Readings: Acts 9:1-6 [7-20], Psalm 30, Revelation 5:11-14, John 21:1-19  Town Hall Meeting Our first town hall meeting for 2016 will be held THIS SUNDAY  April 10, after worship.
