GREETINGS FROM WORSHIP PLANNERS – SUNDAY, APRIL 12, 2026

A ZOOM SERVICE

John 20:19-23

BREATH OF GOD

Jesus is dead and the tomb is empty. Afraid of the Temple mob, the disciples gather behind locked doors. Jesus appears saying: “Peace to you.” He shows them his wounds.

Of course, the disciples are awestruck. Jesus says it again: “Peace to you.” He takes a deep breath and “breathes onto” them.

“Receive the Holy Spirit,” Jesus says. Then adds: “If you forgive someone’s sins, they’re gone for good. If you don’t forgive their sins, what are you going to do with them?”

Breathe. In. Out. First breath. Last breath. Life. Precious. Forgiveness. Sacred. Holy. Joy.

Zoom with us at 4pm as Rev. Carl Hilton VanOsdall looks at the disciples’ shift from fear to joy. As we do every Sunday at CCP, we’ll celebrate Communion and hear Joys and Concerns. Tom Jones is away so he has pre-recorded music for us.

Zoom codes appear in your Sunday morning email.
