Today's Scriptures
Isaiah 65:17-25
For I am about to create new heavens
and a new earth;
the former things shall not be remembered
or come to mind.
But be glad and rejoice for ever
in what I am creating;
for I am about to create Jerusalem as a joy,
and its people as a delight.
I will rejoice in Jerusalem,
and delight in my people;
no more shall the sound of weeping be heard in it,
or the cry of distress.
No more shall there be in it
an infant that lives but a few days,
or an old person who does not live out a lifetime;
for one who dies at a hundred years will be considered a youth,
and one who falls short of a hundred will be considered accursed.
They shall build houses and inhabit them;
they shall plant vineyards and eaAt their fruit.
They shall not build and another inhabit;
they shall not plant and another eat;
for like the days of a tree shall the days of my people be,
and my chosen shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
They shall not labour in vain,
or bear children for calamity;
for they shall be offspring blessed by the Lord--
and their descendants as well.
Before they call I will answer,
while they are yet speaking I will hear.
The wolf and the lamb shall feed together,
the lion shall eat straw like the ox;
but the serpent—its food shall be dust!
They shall not hurt or destroy
on all my holy mountain, says the Lord.
John 20:1-18
Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb. So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, ‘They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.’ Then Peter and the other disciple set out and went towards the tomb. The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent down to look in and saw the linen wrappings lying there, but he did not go in. Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen wrappings lying there, and the cloth that had been on Jesus’ head, not lying with the linen wrappings but rolled up in a place by itself. Then the other disciple, who reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; for as yet they did not understand the scripture, that he must rise from the dead. Then the disciples returned to their homes.
But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb; and she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had been lying, one at the head and the other at the feet. They said to her, ‘Woman, why are you weeping?’ She said to them, ‘They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.’ When she had said this, she turned round and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, ‘Woman, why are you weeping? For whom are you looking?’ Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, ‘Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.’ Jesus said to her, ‘Mary!’ She turned and said to him in Hebrew, ‘Rabbouni!’ (which means Teacher). Jesus said to her, ‘Do not hold on to me, because I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, “I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.” ’ Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, ‘I have seen the Lord’; and she told them that he had said these things to her.
For I am about to create new heavens
and a new earth;
the former things shall not be remembered
or come to mind.
But be glad and rejoice for ever
in what I am creating;
for I am about to create Jerusalem as a joy,
and its people as a delight.
I will rejoice in Jerusalem,
and delight in my people;
no more shall the sound of weeping be heard in it,
or the cry of distress.
No more shall there be in it
an infant that lives but a few days,
or an old person who does not live out a lifetime;
for one who dies at a hundred years will be considered a youth,
and one who falls short of a hundred will be considered accursed.

Announcements
Join us for Breakfast Today
The Myf will be serving a continental breakfast of freshly baked pastries and fruit downstairs immediately after the service today. Please join them. This is a fund-raiser to help them attend the convention this summer. Thank you for supporting our PMC youth!
What Did Jesus Look Like?
The Sanctuary of Belonging workgroup, a sub-committee of the Racial Justice Committee, is working with the Table to finalize a multi-phase proposal for creating a more welcoming sanctuary from a racial justice perspective. The proposed plan draws on ideas generated during the May 2022 congregational forum, the 2021 Widerstand Anti-Racism Audit, multiple Adult Ed classes & discussions, and ongoing conversations with PMC community members. We are excited to share that Phase 1 has been approved and completed! Local artist, Roberta Nieto, has restored and altered the front stained glass window* to more accurately reflect Jesus’ Palestinian ethnicity. (Bonus: Roberta was able to restore the vibrancy of the flowers & greenery as well!) While we celebrate this update, we recognize there are still a number of stained glass windows – and overall institutional culture – that reinforce white supremacy. Our workgroup, along with the Table, look forward to sharing the Sanctuary of Belonging multi-phase proposal and getting your input and feedback. Our hope is to create a worship space that better represents the racial and ethnic diversity of the Beloved Community. Sanctuary of Belonging workgroup: Katrina Miller, Les Sanya, Brenda Zook Friesen, Luis Tapa Rubio, Andra Zerbe, Sylvia Shirk
*An optical phenomenon can occur, depending on the angle of light, that makes parts of the window appear gray or muted. We’re working on a solution to mitigate this from happening.

Adult Faith Formation
After Easter, we’ll start a new set of adult classes during the Sunday School hour. You can find posters in the Old Chapel with more information or follow links in the online bulletin to the Adult Faith Formation webpage. Check out these exciting upcoming options:
Trials and Temptations with a New Testament Lens (David Morrow)
PMC Menno Pride Conversations (Menno Pride Committee)
Book Discussion – The Good and Beautiful God (Linda Smith)
PNMC Immigrant Advocacy Teach-In -- Saturday, May 17, 10:30am-noon Pacific (9:30am Alaska/11:30 am Mountain) on Zoom. This teach-in will be led by retired public defender and immigration attorney, Jay Stansell, J.D., M.B.A., from Seattle, WA. Megan Ramer (Pastor, Seattle Mennonite Church) and I recently took part in a training that Jay facilitated for the Church Council of Greater Seattle, and we were impressed by the clarity and applicability of the content he offered. Jay has agreed to share an adaptation of this presentation for our entire PNMC community. The focus will be on constitutional rights that can be appealed to by all immigrants and citizens, and how we can help create "communities of non-participation" in the current unjust practices of our federal government. I think you will find that Jay's input will provide good groundwork for more localized efforts. We hope for at least one representative from each of our PNMC congregations at this teach-in. In order to receive the Zoom link, please RSVP to [email protected] by Thursday, May 15.

Land Acknowledgment
As we learn about the Doctrine of Discovery, we recognize that the land on which our meetinghouse is located and the land on which we live was previously home to Native American peoples who were decimated and uprooted as this area was colonized. The Portland Metro area rests on traditional village sites of the Multnomah, Wasco, Cowlitz, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Bands of Chinook, Tualatin, Kalapuya, Molalla and many other tribes who stewarded the plentiful natural resources in the vicinity of the Columbia River.
We recognize that the present day Native American community in the Portland Metro area is made up of people who originate from over 380 tribes from around the country.
We acknowledge the local federally recognized tribes; the Grande Ronde, the Siletz and the Cowlitz as well as the Chinook Nation, which has been seeking federal recognition for many years.
