WELCOME TO WORSHIP
In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we welcome you to St. Paul’s. We especially welcome our guests who have joined us today. We pray that your soul will be strengthened by the good news of God’s forgiveness through Jesus.
PRAYER IN PREPARATION FOR TODAY’S WORSHIP
Risen Savior, I can have doubts about your rising from the dead, and I can especially have doubts about what it therefore means about your work on my behalf. Calm my doubts today with the proof you provided to the first disciples and recorded for me to know all these years later. Help me not only trust in but also experience the peace your victory gives me. In you I pray. Amen.
