An after-Easter worship service: Now what

Group, Mar/Apr 2003 by Case, Steve

11. Play your closing song.

12. For a closing prayer, say something like: Creator God, you sent your Son into this world, and for some reason we think it's a story with a happy ending. The truth is the story doesn't end. It continued through the lives of the disciples, the early church, and right through this moment. Jesus is alive. He lives and breathes as we live and breathe. Thank you, God, for allowing us to be a part of you through the life and continued presence of your Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
