For those new to the congregation, Pastor Charlotte is a retired United Methodist pastor, serving on our staff in the role of pastoral care coordinator. Leon Adams, our music director, is one of the most prominent musicians in the Omaha area. Some of you will know him from The Confidentials. He is also a deeply Christian man, who has been leading church music since his childhood. Leon recently announced he is getting married this summer. This Sunday should be a treat.

Did you know (I think this is right) that every time you click on our web site: www.standrewsomaha.net, it helps move St. Andrew’s up in the GOOGLE lineup. A few months ago, we weren’t even on the first page of St. Andrew’s United Methodist Churches; this morning, we’re moved ahead of St. Andrew’s UMC’s in Texas and Alabama, so that we come up third, after congregations in Plano, Texas, and Littleton, Colorado.

John 20:24-29
But Thomas (who was called the Twin), one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. 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. 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.” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and see my hands. Reach out you hand and put it in my side. Do not doubt but believe.” Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” 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.”
