Revelation 22:1-5; John 20:19-31 | Peace. It seems like a simple word, but it has layers of depth. We long for peace in our world, in our communities, in our homes, in our very being. Recognizing the wilderness spaces amongst us, is peace possible? Or simply wishful thinking? This weekend, as we continue to live in the hope of God’s recreation begun through Christ’s life, death, and resurrection, we join with Jesus as he appears to his disciples speaking “peace.” That same peace also takes us to the final book of the Bible, proclaiming a vision of wholeness and healing for all nations. So as we seek peace in all the spaces of our world, join us for worship, for prayer, and for renewal, as we both receive and share Christ’s proclamation and promise of peace for the sake of all peoples.
