Compartiendo | Sharing Tiempo Con Los Niños | A Time with Children Carol Blythe/Rick Goodman

Dando en Línea | Giving Online Please visit www.calvarydc.org/give. Each Sunday, we have the opportunity to engage in a spiritual practice tracing back to the early church. As followers of Jesus began re-imagining their allegiance to God and not Caesar, they also chose to share their money, time, and resources in ways that disrupted systems of power and violence around them. As a community of faith shaped by this intention as we strive to be radically inclusive, progressive, and multicultural, we pray that our commitments might free you to give to this place both joyfully and intentionally. Continue Giving to the Easter Offering- This year’s offering will go to African Baptist Churches in Zimbabwe and the Amos Project.

Escuchando | Listening

Salmo ǀ Psalmo 116:1-4 Anna Settels Palacios Amo a Jehová, pues ha oído, mi voz y mis súplicas; Porque ha inclinado a mí su oído; Por tanto, le invocaré en todos mis días. Me rodearon ligaduras de muerte, Me encontraron las angustias del Seol; Angustia y dolor había yo hallado. Entonces invoqué el nombre de Jehová, diciendo: Oh Jehová, libra ahora mi alma.

I love the LORD, because God has heard my voice and my supplications. Because God inclined God’s hear to me, therefore I will call on God as long as I live. The snares of death encom-passed me; the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me; I suffered distress and anguish. Then I called on the name of the LORD: "O LORD, I pray, save my life!”

Estribillo | Refrain “Open our Eyes, Lord/Abre Mis Ojos”

Abre mis ojos, Yo quiero verte

Quiero abrazarte, Y quiero adorarte. Tranquila mi alma,

Para escucharte bien, Abre mis ojos,

Yo quiero verte.

Open our eyes, Lord We want to see Jesus

To reach out and touch you And say that we love you

Open our ears, Lord And help us to listen Open our eyes, Lord We want to Jesus.

Lección Del Evangelio | Gospel Lesson Lucas | Luke 24:13-35 Carrie Zimmerman Now on that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, and talking with each other about all these things that had happened. While they were talking and discussing, Jesus came near and went with them, but their eyes were kept from recognizing him. And he said to them, "What are you discussing with each other while you walk along?" They stood still, looking sad. Then one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answered him, "Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who does not know the things that have taken place there in these days?" He asked them, "What things?" They replied, "The things about Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, and how our chief priests and leaders handed him over to be condemned to death and crucified him. But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things took place. Moreover, some women of our group astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning, and when they did not find his body there, they came back and told us that they had indeed seen a vision of angels who said that he was alive. Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said; but they did not see him." Then he said to them, "Oh, how foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have declared! Was it not necessary that the Messiah should suffer these things and then enter into his glory?" Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them the things about himself in all the scriptures. As they came near the village to which they were going, he walked ahead as if he were going on. But they urged him strongly, saying, "Stay with us, because it is almost evening and the day is now nearly over." So he went in to stay with them. When he was at the table with them, he took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized him; and he vanished from their sight. They said to each other, "Were not our hearts burning within us while he was talking to us on the road, while he was opening the scriptures to us?" That same hour they got up and returned to Jerusalem; and they found the eleven and their companions gathered together. They were saying, "The Lord has risen indeed, and he has appeared to Simon!" Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he had been made known to them in the breaking of the bread. -- Y he aquí, dos de ellos iban el mismo día a una aldea llamada Emaús, que estaba a sesenta estadios de Jerusalén. E iban hablando entre sí de todas aquellas cosas que habían acontecido. Sucedió que mientras hablaban y discutían entre sí, Jesús mismo se acercó, y caminaba con ellos. Mas los ojos de ellos estaban velados, para que no le conociesen. Y les dijo: ¿Qué pláticas son estas que tenéis entre vosotros mientras camináis, y por qué estáis tristes?

Respondiendo uno de ellos, que se llamaba Cleofas, le dijo: ¿Eres tú el único forastero en Jerusalén que no has sabido las cosas que en ella han acontecido en estos días? Entonces él les dijo: ¿Qué cosas? Y ellos le dijeron: De Jesús nazareno, que fue varón profeta, poderoso en obra y en palabra delante de Dios y de todo el pueblo; y cómo le entregaron los principales sacerdotes y nuestros gobernantes a sentencia de muerte, y le crucificaron. Pero nosotros esperábamos que él era el que había de redimir a Israel; y ahora, además de todo esto, hoy es ya el tercer día que esto ha acontecido. Aunque también nos han asombrado unas mujeres de entre nosotros, las que antes del día fueron al sepulcro; y como no hallaron su cuerpo, vinieron diciendo que también habían visto visión de ángeles, quienes dijeron que él vive. Y fueron algunos de los nuestros al sepulcro, y hallaron así como las mujeres habían dicho, pero a él no le vieron. Entonces él les dijo: !!Oh insensatos, y tardos de corazón para creer todo lo que los profetas han dicho! ¿No era necesario que el Cristo padeciera estas cosas, y que entrara en su gloria? Y comenzando desde Moisés, y siguiendo por todos los profetas, les declaraba en todas las Escrituras lo que de él decían. Llegaron a la aldea adonde iban, y él hizo como que iba más lejos. Mas ellos le obligaron a quedarse, diciendo: Quédate con nosotros, porque se hace tarde, y el día ya ha declinado. Entró, pues, a quedarse con ellos. Y aconteció que estando sentado con ellos a la mesa, tomó el pan y lo bendijo, lo partió, y les dio. Entonces les fueron abiertos los ojos, y le reconocieron; mas él se desapareció de su vista. Y se decían el uno al otro: ¿No ardía nuestro corazón en nosotros, mientras nos hablaba en el camino, y cuando nos abría las Escrituras? Y levantándose en la misma hora, volvieron a Jerusalén, y hallaron a los once reunidos, y a los que estaban con ellos, que decían: Ha resucitado el Señor verdaderamente, y ha aparecido a Simón. Entonces ellos contaban las cosas que les habían acontecido en el camino, y cómo le habían reconocido al partir el pan. Estribillo | Refrain “Open our Eyes, Lord/Abre Mis Ojos”

Abre mis ojos, Yo quiero verte

Quiero abrazarte, Y quiero adorarte. Tranquila mi alma,

Para escucharte bien, Abre mis ojos,

Yo quiero verte.

Himno de la Invitación ǀ Hymn of Invitation “Servant Song”

David Simmons/Michael Polscer

Will you let me be your servant Let me be as Christ to you

Pray that I may have the grace To let you be my servant too.

We are pilgrims on the journey We are travelers on the road

We are here to help each other Walk the mile and bear the load.

I will hold the Christ light for you

In the night time of your fear I will hold my hand out to you

Speak the peace you long to hear.

I will weep when you are weeping When you laugh, I'll laugh with you

I will share your joy and sorrow Till we've seen this journey through.
