Easter 3 - Year B

A CALL TO WORSHIP (from Psalm 4)
Know that the LORD has set apart the faithful for himself; 
the LORD hears when I call to him. 
Tremble in awe, but do not sin; 
ponder it on your beds, and be untroubled. 
Make sacrifices of righteousness, 
and trust in the LORD. 
Many say, "Who will show us good? 
The light of your counte-nance has fled from us, O LORD!" 
You put joy in my heart 
more than when their grain and wine abound. 
I will both lie down and sleep in peace; 
for you alone, O LORD, make me lie down in safety. 

For use in worship, with acknowledgement. © Jeff Shrowder 2000.
A CREATIVE MOMENT - Luke 24:36b-48
If you didn't do it last week, create a banner bearing a Jerusalem cross. (The crosses represent the five wounds of Jesus: the four small crosses, the four smaller wounds of the hands and feet; the larger cross, the wound in his side).
If you did make that banner, perhaps a supplementary banner could also bear the words, "Peace be to you", together with an appropriate fish symbol

In addition, bookmarks, carrying a pen and ink outline of the banner, photocopied onto light card could distributed by way of a "return offering" to the congregation. Recipients could be encouraged to take them home, decorate them as they choose, and use them.
