* AFFIRMATION OF FAITH
We Belong to God Rev. Jamalyn Peigh Williamson (8 & 9:15AM) Rev. David Williamson (11AM) Leader: Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is the one true church, gathered to seek, celebrate, live and share the faith we now declare: All: We belong to God, eternal and infinite, Creator of all things and all that is to come. We follow Christ, who comes to us from God, and reveals God to us. He heals people and transforms lives, and calls us to join in his ministry. He was crucified, died, and was raised again by God, and reigns over all Creation; and he bids us to die and rise with him in the service of the healing of the world. We are moved by the Holy Spirit, together with the communion of saints, as members of the Body of Christ, God’s holy universal church. We are confident in the forgiveness of sin, the power of resurrection and the reality of eternal life. In all things it is our desire to follow Christ, by the grace of the Holy Spirit, for God’s glory. Amen.

SCRIPTURE
Luke 24: 13-35 Gustanna Moss Chaney (8AM) Ellen Hostetler (9:15AM) Tom Elam (11AM) Now on that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, and talking with each other about all the things that had happened. While they were talking, Jesus himself came near and went with them, but their eyes were kept from recognizing him. He said to them, “What are you discussing?” They stood still, looking sad. Then one of them, Cleopas, answered, “Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who does not know the things that have taken place there?” He asked, “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 priest and leaders handed him over to be condemned to death and crucified him. We had hoped that he was
the one to redeem Israel. Moreover, some women of our group astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning, and when they did not find his body, 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. As they came near the village to which they were going, he walked ahead as if he were going on. But they urged him strongly, “Stay with us, because the day is nearly over.” So he went in to stay with them. When he was at the table, he took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized him; and he vanished from their sight. They said to each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he was talking to us on the road, while he was opening the scriptures to us?” That same hour they got up and returned to Jerusalem; and they found the eleven and their companions gathered together. They told what had happened on the road, and how he had been made known to them in the breaking of the bread.
