Bishop Peter Fenty leads our service on this Third Sunday in Easter, April 19, 2026, with Music Director Zacharia Dekker, and Lay Reader and Intercessor Susan Schuschu. The lessons are read by Greg Finlayson (The Book of Acts 2:14a, 36-41) and Christine Cox (First Letter of Peter 1:17-23). Zach cantors the verses to Psalm 116:1-3, 10-17, while the congregation responds with, “I will lift up the cup of salvation”, from the George Black setting, ‘In the Midst of the Congregation’. The Gospel is from Luke (24:13-35). Our hymns this Sunday: ‘Christ Is Risen, Christ Is Risen’ (Common Praise #220); ‘That Eastertide with Joy Was Bright’ (#231); ‘Now, My Tongue, the Mystery Telling’ (#51); as our Recessional, ‘Hail, Thou Once Despisèd Jesus’ (#246). All are invited to the hall for refreshments and conversation following Zach’s Postlude.
