Fifth Sunday of Easter: April 28, 2013

Worship at 9:30 a.m.

SCRIPTURE: John 5:1-9

Holy One, we stammer to you our praise and thanksgiving for the extravagance of gifts that often leave us tongue-tied and teary-eyed,

yet with gladness of heart, quietness of mind, and lightness of spirit.

We thank you not only for our days, but for what you fill them with:

the spray of light, the play of seasons, the tinge of glory,

the reach toward justice, the embrace of beauty, labors of love.

Wondrous One, we praise you for the surprises of grace that catch us off guard and fill our silences with ease, our struggles with hope, our friendships with power,

our defeats with timeless lessons and with the fresh possibilities that well up from the old promises you always find new ways to keep; through Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.
