This week we conclude our new Easter series , “He Goes Ahead Of Us.” We jump over to the resurrection story found in John 21:1-14 this week, as we consider how to open ourselves to seeing God and Jesus right where we are.

This week we continue our new Easter series , “He Goes Ahead Of Us.” We pick up where we left off last week in Mark 16, looking at the resurrection stories told verses 9-20. These stories invite us to be open to the ways that Jesus is present with us as he calls us out into new journeys and challenges. He goes ahead of us, yet also walks with us.

Easter is always a special Sunday at St. Andrew’s with lots of music. The video above includes both Easter anthems sung by the choir.

Happy Easter! This week we begin a new series called, “He Goes Ahead Of Us,” that explores the stories of Jesus’ resurrection in Mark and the rest of the New Testament. Today we start with Mark 16:1-8 and sit in the space between hearing the good news of resurrection and being able to hope that it’s true.

On Good Friday we remember and give thanks for what Jesus has accomplished through his death on the cross. We journey together through the story of Jesus’ suffering and sacrifice through the dramatic reading of Scripture and special music from our choir and worship team.

A copy of the service program can be downloaded below if you would like to follow along with the dramatic reading of the Gospel of Mark.
