Opening Hymn I Come to the Garden Alone
I come to the garden alone While the dew is still on the roses And the voice I
hear, falling on my ear The Son of God discloses [Chorus] And S/He walks with me And S/He talks with me And S/He tells me I am His own And the joy we share as we tarry there None other has ever known or And THEY walk with me And THEY talks with me And THEY tell me I am THEIR own And the joy we share as we tarry there None other has ever known 2.S/He speaks and the sound of Her voice Is so sweet the birds hush their singing And the melody that S/He gave to me Within my heart is ringing [Chorus]3.I'd stay in the garden with THEM Though the night around me be falling But THEY bid me go through the voice of woe Their voice to me is calling
Scripture Exodus 15:19b-21The Inclusive Bible, the First Egalitarian Translation ” the Israelites walked through the sea on dry land Then Aaron’s sister, the prophet Miriam picked up a tambourine and all the woman, followed her, dancing, with tambourines while Miriam sang:
Gospel of John 20:11-18 11 The Inclusive Bible, the First Egalitarian Translation Meanwhile, Mary stood weeping beside the tomb. Even as she wept, she stooped to peer inside, 12 and there she saw two angels in dazzling robes. One was seated at the head and the other at the foot of the place where Jesus’ body had lain. 13 They asked her, “Why are you weeping?” She answered them, “Because they have taken away my Rabbi, and I don’t know where they have put the body.” 14 No sooner had she said this than she turned around and caught sight of Jesus standing there, but she didn’t know it was Jesus. 15 He asked her, “Why are you weeping? For whom are you looking?” She supposed it was the gardener, so she said, “Please, if you’re the one who carried Jesus away, tell me where you’ve laid the body and I will take it away.” 16 Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned to him and said, “Rabboni!”—which means “Teacher”. 17 Jesus then said, “Don’t hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to Abba God. Rather, go to the sisters and brothers and tell them, ‘I’m ascending to my Abba and to your Abba, my God and your God!’” 18 Mary of Magdala went to the disciples. “I have seen the Teacher!” she announced. Then she reported what the savior had said to her."

Closing Prayer St. Francis and St. Clare of Assisi Prayer
God grant that I may not so much seek; To be consoled as to console; To be understood, as to understand; To be loved as to love; For it is in giving that we receive, It is in pardoning that we pardoned. And it is in dying that we are born, to Eternal Life. Amen, Amen, Amen

May the blessings of God go before you. May her grace and peace abound. May her spirit live within you. May her love wrap you round. May her blessings remain with you always. May you walk on holy.
logInvitations: Our current ecologic crisis is a call to awaken to the reverence of life and the truth that all nature is alive and sacred. As we witness the sixth extinction of life on earth, the only one created by us humans, we are invited to reclaim the ancient wisdom traditions. We are one organic, interspecies, interconnected whole. What we do affects everyone else. Every Sunday at 5 pm we acknowledge that we need one another more than ever before and commune with God called by many names. We celebrate the wisdom traditions from the East, West, indigenous peoples, new science as we study the teachings of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, the Bible and the newly found gnostic gospels.
