The Courage to Speak Up (9 AM)
Just one disciple was absent when the resurrected Jesus appeared before his disciples. It was Thomas. The one usually referred to as "the doubter," Thomas insisted that he needed to see and touch Jesus himself in order to fully believe the miracle of the resurrection. After all, the unimaginable, the crucifixion of Jesus, had happened and his whole life had unraveled in the past three days. He didn't know what to think or believe anymore. Join us as we consider the courage it took for Thomas to re-thread the strands of his faith.

Sometimes it feels like the world is falling apart. Living in the midst of a pandemic, most of us know this feeling all too well.Our tightly-knit plans unravel and we’re left with only loose threads. What do we become when our identity or the path we’re on comes undone?
But what if our fears don’t become our reality? Is it possible that in our unraveling, we might come face-to-face with unexpected hope, joy and love; a new beginning we couldn’t ever have imagined? Sometimes we need God to unravel us, for we need or even long to be changed.
This Easter season, we will explore biblical accounts of unraveled shame, identity, fear, grief, dreams, and expectations. Together, we’ll see that God can meet us in our spiraling, unraveling our plans—and us—into something new.
