Calling all people of Living Springs!
SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 2015 @ 9 am
Operation Inasmuch is the annual event when Lutheran Christians from across SC join together to give part of their day in acts of loving service to those in need in our surrounding community. Each congregation in our SC Synod sponsors specific acts of outreach. There are opportunities for everyone of all ages, so just choose how you would like to participate. This year, at Living Springs, we are sponsoring:
· STUFF-A-BUS for our community service agencies
· RICE ESTATE visiting, bingo, singing, gardening work
· COOKIE-BAKING for our local firefighters.
Come join us to play bingo with the Rice Estate residents and a sing-along afterward or if playing bingo is not your thing and you want to be outdoors, planting spring flowers in their garden beds is another option. For those that want to stay & serve the community close to home, bake cookies for the firemen. We will meet in the Sanctuary at 9 am for a short devotion. Contact Karen Kranz for information.

Lessons for This Sunday
First Reading: Acts 4:32–35
While the apostles testified to others about the resurrection of Jesus, the early Christian community shared what they owned or sold their possessions to help their fellow believers who were in need.
Psalm (ELW): Psalm 133
How good and pleasant it is to live together in unity. (Ps. 133:1)
Second Reading: 1 John 1:1—2:2
The opening of this letter serves as a reality check. The reality of God is light, but our confessed reality has been sin. God cleanses us from our sinful reality through Christ's death so that we live in fellowship with Christ and walk in God's light.
Gospel: John 20:19–31
The story of Easter continues as the risen Lord appears to his disciples. His words to Thomas offer a blessing to all who entrust themselves in faith to the risen Lord.
