FROM THE RECTOR
Happy Easter season and welcome to Saint Michael! I’m very glad you’ve joined us for worship today. Please take a moment to fill out the welcome card, either physically or digitally, that can be found on the opposite page or in the pew back in front of you. Our Welcome Team members are in the hallways today to help you with anything you need.
Our Easter celebration continues today. In addition to worship on Sundays, I hope you’ll take advantage of the weekday meditations, available at saintmichael.org/smaapod, offered by our Saint Michael ministry leaders from now through May 26. The meditations are a wonderful way to anchor your life in God day to day.
As we prepare to worship together, I invite you to take a moment and center yourself on God’s presence. Worshiping, learning, and giving together help us grow closer to who God created us to be, and you’re part of that work. May God bless you today and every day, and I hope to see you again very soon!

Amen.
The Collect of the Day: 5:30 PM
O God, whose blessed Son made himself known to his disciples in the breaking of bread: Open the eyes of our faith, that we may behold him in all his redeeming work; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
The First Lesson Acts 2:14a, 36-41
Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd … “Let the entire house of Israel know with certainty that God has made him both Lord and Messiah, this Jesus whom you crucified.” Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and to the other apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?” Peter said to them, “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you, for your children, and for all who are far away, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to him.” And he testified with many other arguments and exhorted them, saying, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.” So those who welcomed his message were baptized, and that day about three thousand persons were added.
Lector The Word of the Lord.
People Thanks be to God.
Psalm 116:1-3, 10-17
I love the LORD, because he has heard the voice of my supplication, * because he has inclined his ear to me whenever I called upon him. The cords of death entangled me; the grip of the grave took hold of me; * I came to grief and sorrow. Then I called upon the Name of the LORD: * “
O LORD, I pray you, save my life.”
3
How shall I repay the LORD * for all the good things he has done for me?
I will lift up the cup of salvation * and call upon the Name of the LORD.
I will fulfill my vows to the LORD * in the presence of all his people.
Precious in the sight of the LORD * is the death of his servants.
O LORD, I am your servant; *
I am your servant and the child of your handmaid; you have freed me from my bonds.
I will offer you the sacrifice of thanksgiving * and call upon the Name of the LORD. I will fulfill my vows to the LORD * in the presence of all his people, In the courts of the LORD’ S house, * in the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
The Second Lesson 1 Peter 1:17-23
If you invoke as Father the one who judges all people impartially according to their deeds, live in reverent fear during the time of your exile. You know that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your ancestors, not with perishable things like silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without defect or blemish. He was destined before the foundation of the world, but was revealed at the end of the ages for your sake. Through him you have come to trust in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are set on God. Now that you have purified your souls by your obedience to the truth so that you have genuine mutual love, love one another deeply from the heart. You have been born anew, not of perishable but of imperishable seed, through the living and enduring word of God.
Lector The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God.

Now on that same day two of Jesus’ disciples were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, and talking with each other about all these things that had happened. While they were talking and discussing, Jesus himself came near and went with them, but their eyes were kept from recognizing him. And he said to them, “What are you discussing with each other while you walk along?” They stood still, looking sad. Then one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who does not know the things that have taken place there in these days?” He asked them, “What things?” They replied, “The things about Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, and how our chief priests and leaders handed him over to be condemned to death and crucified him. But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things took place. Moreover, some women of our group astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning, and when they did not find his body there, they came back and told us that they had indeed seen a vision of angels who said that he was alive. Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said; but they did not see him.” Then he said to them, “Oh, how foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have declared! Was it not necessary that the Messiah should suffer these things and then enter into his glory?” Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them the things about himself in all the scriptures.
The Gospel Luke 24:13-35

UPCOMING FORMATION OFFERINGS
Sundays (April 23–May 21) at 10 a.m.
THE GREAT PROPHETS OF THE BIBLE Led by Chris Girata in Saint Michael Chapel
The Major and Minor Prophets of the Bible help us understand what prophecy means. The collection of books from Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, and Daniel, as well as Jonah, Micah, and more offer revelations from God about promises of the future. Messages of judgment, mercy, and hope are written all over this collection of biblical books. Come discover what God is still revealing to us through these ancient voices.
FOLLOWING CHRIST IN DEEP WATERS
Led by Brady Millican & Barbara Kennard | Coke Room
Parishioners will explore Gerard Manley Hopkins’ poem, The Wreck of the Deutschland, written in 1877. Our interest will center on the author’s experience of the challenges and joys of Christian life. Hopefully, we will find greater strength for our own journeys in the power of Hopkins’ testimony to the perpetual presence of Christ’s care and love. Copies of the poem will be provided, as well as a link to a recording.

Led by the Rev. Christian Basel Wednesdays, 4/19, 5/3, 5/10, & 5/17 6–7:30 p.m.

“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” Scripture begins with the cosmological, the order of the universe, but what is our place in it? Join us on a four-week study as we explore our place in the created order of the universe and draw on scripture, philosophy, and science to begin forming an idea of how a biblical cosmology exists side by side with modern science.
