Welcome to Judson Memorial Baptist Church. Happy Easter! The welcome this morning offered by Karla is an adapted version of the welcome offered at Coventry Cathedral in the UK. We give special thanks to the choir, Ellie, Jim, and John, for their gift of music. We give thanks to Polly and Barbara for decorating the altar and baptismal area. We give thanks to Eileen for all the work she did behind the scenes. We give thanks to Scott for the call to offering. We give thanks to Carolyn for centering us this morning. We give thanks to the kids for running down the aisle and reminding us how free childhood felt. And we give thanks for you being here this morning to celebrate this day. Peace of Christ be with you,

The Worship Reader will be involved in sharing Judson’s Land Acknowledgement, the first lesson of the morning (scripture or contemporary), and reading the prayer intents with Carolyn. The role requires a clear and articulate voice and the ability to convey the emotion and meaning behind the words, helping the congregation to engage with the service on a deeper level. We need you!
