On this first Sunday in our new post-Easter series, “We Have Seen the Lord,” we will consider a remarkable encounter at his tomb between the risen Lord and Mary Magdalene, a most unlikely witness in male-dominated first-century Palestine. The words Jesus speaks to Mary in her grief and bewilderment 2000 years ago continue to reverberate for all of us today, and will serve as the title for this week’s sermon: “Why are you crying?” and “Who are you looking for?” Join us this Sunday as we too seek to encounter the risen Lord in our own tears and searchings, whatever they may be. And bring a friend!

- Series Description - 

In the days after the first Easter, John records several striking encounters with the risen Lord, both with women in his inner circle and with different gatherings of his disciples. In each encounter, Jesus speaks words fitting to each person he reveals himself to – words of comfort, of peace, of faith, and of restoration – and his words transform their lives, and ours, as they continue to echo through the ages. Join us over the next four weeks as we consider these encounters in a new post-Easter, 4-week series.
