Holy Communion THE SERVICE OF HOLY COMMUNION THE SERVICE OF THE THIRD SUNDAY OF EASTER HOApril 18,LY 2021 COMMUNION The gospel for the third Sunday of Easter is always one in which the risen Christ shares food with the disciples, meals that are the Easter template for the meal we share each Sunday. In today’s gospel, Jesus both shares the disciples’ food and shows them the meaning of his suffering, death, and resurrection through the scriptures, the two main elements of our Sunday worship. + 1 + WELCOME! A Special Note: Worship Values & COVID-19 Protocols Our service is being Worship services at the Chapel will fully comply with all COVID-19 protocols established by Valparaiso livestreamed to YouTube University in dialogue with Chapel staff.

All attending from off campus are subject to check in and Valpo.edu/chapel screening in the narthex (lobby). Visitors will be required to wear a visitor badge. Because we are now being limited to having only 100 worshipers in our building, we will be pre-registering people for worship each week until further notice.

Please maintain three chairs vacant between yourself and others in your row who are not part of your household or quarantine pod. Holy Communion Special precautions are being taken with the distribution of Holy Communion. This Service of Word and Sacrament today in the Chapel of the Resurrection is sponsored by Valparaiso University and conducted in accordance with Holy Scripture and the Lutheran Confessions. Lay men and women—students, faculty, and staff—assist the pastors in conducting the worship services and in carrying out the ministry in this community. The Holy Communion is celebrated here in the confidence of receiving from our Lord all that he promises when he gives his body and blood to eat and to drink. With such celebration goes the pastoral concern that all worshipers examine themselves lest they contradict Christ by sin against him and his people. In the Sacrament we are most fully one with Christ and with one another, and in this Meal we are nourished to live in faithfulness to Christ and his Word and in forgiveness and in love toward one another. Because communion at the table of our Lord is such a confession of faith, worshipers who are in doubt or who hold a differing confession of faith and yet desire to receive the Sacrament should first consult with one of the pastors. No one is required to commune. You also have the option to commune in one kind only (receiving either the bread or the wine alone) or to receive a personal blessing at the altar. Rest Rooms Rest rooms are available in the Undercroft, down the spiral staircase off the narthex at the southwest end of the building. Handicap accessible/family bathrooms are located in the Chapel narthex. Offerings The offerings received today fund the programming of the Chapel of the Resurrection’s student ministries.

    vigil ofhope MAY 21, 2021 8 PM Vigil of Hope May 21, 2021 The people’s responses are in bold. gathering Hear My Prayer Henry Purcell (1659–1695) Hear my prayer, O Lord, and let my crying come unto thee. (Psalm 102:1) The Bidding When ancient Israel had suffered the great pain and tragedy of death and destruction, God said to them through the prophet Jeremiah: Thus says the Lord: A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation and bitter weeping. Rachel is weeping for her children; she refuses to be comforted for her children, because they are no more. Thus says the Lord: Keep your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears; for there is a reward for your work, says the Lord: there is hope for your future. (Jeremiah 31:15-17a) Tonight we gather to be reassured that God hears the “lamenting and bitter weeping” of this nation, because so many of her children are no more due to the pandemics of COVID-19 and systemic racism. May we now seek that assurance in prayer, for the healing of our grief-stricken hearts, for the souls and sacred memory of those who have died. Let us pray for Divine wisdom and guidance as our nation and the world seek to heal. May we always turn in the direction of love and hope. We meet in the presence of God who knows our needs, hears our cries, feels our pain, and heals our wounds. As we come together for worship, the lit Paschal Candle bears witness to the presence of the risen Christ in our midst.

He said to them, “Why are you frightened, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? Look at my hands and my feet; see that it is I myself. Touch me and see; for a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.” And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. While in their joy they were disbelieving and still wondering, he said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?” They gave him a piece of broiled fish, and he took it and ate in their presence. Then he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you—that everything written about me in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms must be fulfilled.” Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures, and he said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Messiah is to suffer and to rise from the dead on the third day, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

  • Verse of the Month
    SEPTEMBER 2019 Volume 18, issue 1 Christian Hills School A Ministry of Christian Hills Church Getting to Know… th by Zoie Balaskas & Jori Lambert, 8 Grade This is Ms. (Connie) Lapinski’s first year here at CHS. She knew she wanted to be a teacher in her junior year of high school. She first taught second grade in a public school. She has one sibling, a brother named Joseph (Joey). She was saved when she was just three years old. When she was watching a video about Jesus, she wanted to know why they killed Him. Her mom explained to her why and she gave her heart to Jesus right there and then. When she is not teaching, she is an umpire, singer/songwriter, and a freelance writer. She recorded an album called “The Road” in 2016 while in Tennessee. The album is on iTunes and Google Play. She also enjoys exercising, playing softball, listening to music, and going shopping. Ms. Lapinski’s favorite part about teaching is having interactions with students, building relationships with them, and watching them reach their full potential. Her favorite subject is reading (ELA) because she loves doing book studies and learning about the characters and plots. Her favorite Bible verse is Galatians 2:20-21 which reads: “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness comes by the law, then Christ died in vain.” KJV Ms.
