old sanctuary

Tiburon Baptist Church (nearly 50 years old)
March 30, 2010
John 20:1-18
Early in the morning on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and saw that the stone was moved away from the entrance. She ran at once to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, breathlessly panting, "They took the Master from the tomb. We don't know where they've put him."

Peter and the other disciple left immediately for the tomb. They ran, neck and neck. The other disciple got to the tomb first, outrunning Peter. Stooping to look in, he saw the pieces of linen cloth lying there, but he didn't go in. Simon Peter arrived after him, entered the tomb, observed the linen cloths lying there, and the kerchief used to cover his head not lying with the linen cloths but separate, neatly folded by itself. Then the other disciple, the one who had gotten there first, went into the tomb, took one look at the evidence, and believed. No one yet knew from the Scripture that he had to rise from the dead. The disciples then went back home.

 But Mary stood outside the tomb weeping. As she wept, she knelt to look into the tomb and saw two angels sitting there, dressed in white, one at the head, the other at the foot of where Jesus' body had been laid. They said to her, "Woman, why do you weep?"

"They took my Master," she said, "and I don't know where they put him." After she said this, she turned away and saw Jesus standing there. But she didn't recognize him.

Jesus spoke to her, "Woman, why do you weep? Who are you looking for?"

She, thinking that he was the gardener, said, "Mister, if you took him, tell me where you put him so I can care for him."

Jesus said, "Mary."

Turning to face him, she said in Hebrew, "Rabboni!" meaning "Teacher!"

Jesus said, "Don't cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go to my brothers and tell them, 'I ascend to my Father and your Father, my God and your God.'"

Mary Magdalene went, telling the news to the disciples: "I saw the Master!" And she told them everything he said to her.

Spring Planting Update
Garden Gang, since Easter is this Sunday, I thought it would be appropriate to plant some flowers and do a little spring cleaning. Please join me from 8-10 on Saturday morning at the church. Bring gloves and a hand trowel/shovel if you can. See you on Saturday. Steve McKinney

Put Saturday, May 1st from 7-10pm on your calendar and join us at the Marinwood Community Center for a great evening. You will want to bring a friend to the hop!

Singleton's Honored
For 25 years, Beth (and Craig) have been in the role of music leadership at TBC in some capacity. We paused in the midst of a busy Holy Week season to relax with the Singleton family to honor Beth's 25th anniversary with the church. Will & Devin were able to be with us and Carol & her crew did a marvelous job of providing a Hawaiian feast. If you missed this incredible event, catch a glimpse: click here.

We will begin with dinner on Friday night at the Embassy Suites in San Rafael, followed by a picnic on Saturday with plenty of friends, stories and old photos.

H20 is a 10-week video series that opens the door of the church and the good news of Jesus in a friendly way. Pastor Glenn is available to facilitate a meeting in your home on either Monday or Tuesday nights. Some groups provide a light meal, watch the weekly video and follow-up with a time of discussion.

Wisdom
"The unshared gospel is not the gospel."
Yuksel Kuradal

Word of Encouragement

"Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it." A week later his disciples were in the house again, . . . Jesus said to Thomas, "Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe."

Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my God!"

  John 20:25-28
