WELCOME TO EDENTON STREET

We hope that all who pass through our doors will sense the love of Christ! It is in community with others that we grow in faith and serve the world. You are invited to learn more about this congregation and how we are in ministry to the world and one another by contacting Joy Owen, Director of Welcoming Ministries, at [email protected]. Interested in becoming a member of Edenton Street? Plan to join us for Planting Day on April 30. Contact Joy for more information.

CHILDREN AND WORSHIP

We welcome children to worship and have a basket of quiet sanctuary activities available in the entryway. As you leave, please return them to the basket.

THE FIVE ACT PLAYSERMON SERIES

This Easter Season at Edenton Street UMC, we will, like great method actors, immerse ourselves in the redemptive story of God so that we might better reflect the arc of the script. Along the way, many of our questions about the Bible will be answered but better yet will be realization that God isn’t just telling a remarkable story but inviting us into one as well.

PRAYER AND CARE

Fill out a prayer request card in the pews or email [email protected]. We also have trained Care Ministers to talk and pray with you, email [email protected].

PROCESSIONALALL THINGS BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL (ROYAL OAK) | UMH 147

THE FIRST READING GENESIS 2:15-17, GENESIS 3:1-7

The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to till it and keep it. And the Lord God commanded the man, “You may freely eat of every tree of the garden; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall die.”

Now the serpent was more crafty than any other wild animal that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God say, ‘You shall not eat from any tree in the garden’?” The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden; but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the middle

of the garden, nor shall you touch it, or you shall die.’ But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not die; for God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate; and she also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made loincloths for themselves.

PRAYER OF CONFESSION

Lord God, you know the ways of good and evil. You know the things that tempt us and the things that give us life. You know our nakedness, and you know our sin. We confess that we have disobeyed your word, denying your providence and care and relying on our own cleverness. Have mercy on us, we pray: cover us with your grace, feed us with the bread of life, and re-create us in your image; through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.

DECLARATION OF FORGIVENESS

LEADER: Happy are those whose sin is forgiven! Be glad in the Lord and shout for joy: in Jesus Christ we are forgiven. PEOPLE: Thanks be to God!

Their children you brought through the Jordan to the land which you promised.

Amen.

CONGREGATIONAL PLEDGE

SCRIPTURE LESSONGENESIS 3:8-13

They heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden at the time of the evening breeze, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called to the man, and said to him, “Where are you?” He said, “I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.” He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?” The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate.” Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this that you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent tricked me, and I ate.”

Most of us can think of at least one moment in our lives when someone’s words injured us. Maybe it was an off-handed comment, an unfair assessment, or a direct insult? Conversely, I imagine all of us have experienced the opposite. We’ve had the wonderful fortune of being in the presence of another person who used their words to build us up and to bless us. Words matter. It’s often said, “Words create worlds.” So when we’re on the receiving end of a harsh insult or we’re the one hurling the insult, those words will ultimately have impact. And when we’re doling out a generous blessing or having a beautiful blessing conferred upon us, those words, too, have impact. How then will we choose to use our words? In this season of Easter, I want to invite us to practice resurrection in this way: by making the decision to bless others with our words. Like Christ, our ability to bless is not locked down in death. It’s not something only some can do while others can’t. We all have the capacity to heal, to build up, to speak life, and to call forth the extraordinary because the power of our words - spoken or written or gestured - has been determined by the transforming power of resurrection. That power offered to us in Christ Jesus is one we should readily cling to in all that we do and say. Practice resurrection with your words. Speak life. Confer grace. Generously bless others.

Rev. Lisa Yebuah

At the end of February we kicked off our 25th anniversary with our annual Red Rose Benefit. It was a fantastic evening that featured incredible singing and dancing, a fabulous dinner, and spectacular items available in the auction. Thanks to your support it was the most successful Red Rose Benefit ever!

While we are still recovering from all the excitement, we are also planning another 25th anniversary event. This time it will be an Open House and everyone is invited. It will give you a chance to see the Sheets Center and have a chance to understand better this mission of the church. Although the date is not yet official, it looks like Sunday, September 18 will be the day. Please plan to stop by for a few minutes after church or Sunday School to help us celebrate!

Our Caregiver Support Group continues to meet on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month starting at 3:30 p.m. in the parlor and encourages every caregiver to consider attending. The group is very encouraging, knowledgeable, and compassionate, and has helped many caregivers work through some very difficult times.

Have you heard about ESUMC’s Memory Café? It kicks off on April 20 and is designed to be a fun, safe, and welcoming place for fellowship, dinner, and entertainment. Individuals with a cognitive impairment such as dementia and their caregivers will have the opportunity to socialize with others in similar circumstances while enjoying an evening out! The Memory Café is planned for the 3rd Wednesday of each month (except July) and will be open from 4:15 to 6 p.m. The cost is only $8 per person and you can RSVP or get additional information by contacting Lisa Pace at [email protected] or 919-306-1553.
