“The Story: From Peter”

“The Story: From Judas”

“The Story: From Mary”
Sermon Synopsis: In Matthew’s telling of the resurrection there are two ‘Marys’ at the tomb Easter morning. Mary of Clopas and Mary Magdalene. Mary of Clopas will tell us their story. Did you know that Mary Magdalene has been called, “Apostle of the Apostles”? This title was given to her by St Thomas Aquinas, a 13th century father of the church. It seems fitting that on Easter Sunday we would look at the resurrection through the eyes of the two disciples who preached the very first message of Good News! Rev. Lori Patton Aguilar preaching. Tree of Life Praise Band at 9. Chancel Choir at 10:30.
Easter Offering
The Finance Committee has designated the Easter offering to support the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) US Disaster Response fund. When disaster strikes, UMCOR is there. After a disaster, they are often the first to arrive and the last to leave. Because of the gifts given on UMCOR Sunday in March, 100% of donations to the US Disaster Response fund go to the relief and recovery effort. This fund supports all natural and civil disasters in the US including tornadoes, hurricanes, and wildfires. You may give in the offering plate on Easter Sunday, by mailing a check to the church office, or online at lenexaumc.org/give. Thank you for your generosity.
