Jesus Appears to the Disciples
19 When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of
the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus
came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” 20 After he said
this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced when
they saw the Lord. 21 Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the
Father has sent me, so I send you.” 22 When he had said this, he breathed on
them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive the sins of
any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”
Jesus and Thomas
24 But Thomas (who was called the Twin), one of the twelve, was not with
them when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the
Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands, and
put my finger in the mark of the nails and my hand in his side, I will not believe.”
26 A week later his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with
them. Although the doors were shut, Jesus came and stood among them and
said, “Peace be with you.” 27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here
and see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it in my side. Do not doubt but
believe.” 28 Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” 29 Jesus said to
him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who
have not seen and yet have come to believe.”
The Purpose of This Book
30 Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are
not written in this book. 31 But these are written so that you may come to
believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that through believing
you may have life in his name.
John 20:19-31 (NRSV)

NO “SUNDAY HOT BREAKFASTS”
AFTER SUNDAY, APRIL 28, 2019
Sunday, April 28, 2019 will be the last day hot breakfasts will be provided
on Sundays. Beginning Sunday, May 5, 2019, continental breakfast will be
served featuring items such as sliced bread with butter/jam/honey, bagels,
croissants, pastries, rolls, cream cheese, fruit, juice and various hot
beverages. The Continental breakfast prices will range between $3 and $5
per person.
The decision to discontinue hot breakfast on Sunday was made in an effort
to reduce the costs associated with the purchase of food in addition to the
shortage of volunteer staff to manage the kitchen on Sundays.
We want to thank you for your continuous business and loyalty to the
Culinary Ministry!
