Weekly Word: Worship Service

Third Sunday in Easter
Scripture: John 20:19-31 and John 21:1-19

Faith in Action Idea: Caring Conversation
Talk or write about what you heard in the Bible text/story.

1. What is something you long to see?
2. How do you experience Jesus in the world without seeing his physical presence?
3. How does the resurrected Lord become evident—seen—in your life?

Faith in Action Idea: Ritual
Jesus appeared to the disciples while they were fishing. The fish has been used as a Christian symbol from the earliest days of the church. The Greek word for fish is ichthus. In Greek, the letters making up the word form an acrostic for Jesus Christ, God’s Son, Savior. Early Christians practiced their faith and worshiped secretly in their homes. A fish painted on the door of a house let Christians know that they would be safe and welcome inside. Draw an ichthus symbol to display at the entrance to your home as a sign of your faith in Jesus as your Savior.
