Worship Sunday Mornings

June 1, 2025
THE SEVENTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
It is possible to hear in Jesus’ high priestly prayer, a prayer he offered shortly before his death, the
petitions of the ascended Christ for his own throughout history—to our day—and beyond. Jesus
prays for us. In holy baptism we become believers in God, have our robes washed in the flood of Christ’s
forgiveness, and receive the gift of life forever with all the saints.

THE DAY OF PENTECOST
On Pentecost, we celebrate that we have been given an Advocate to accompany us. Poured out in wind and fire, water, wine, and bread, the Holy Spirit abides in and among us. We give thanks that God speaks to each of us, no matter our origins, language, or life path. Filled with the Spirit of truth, we go out from
worship to proclaim the saving power of Christ’s love and the freedom of God’s grace with all the world.

HOLY TRINITY SUNDAY
“O Lord our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!” Today we celebrate the holy Trinity.
Paul writes that through Jesus we have peace with God, whose love pours into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, giving us lasting hope. We celebrate the gracious One-in-Three, eternal Three -in-One, as we worship in community; as we share water and word, bread and wine; and as we bring God’s love and hope to our neighbors.

THE SECOND SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST
This Sunday’s texts paint startling pictures of the horrific nature of sin. The church’s repeated celebration of holy communion counters that tragic reality in a continued showing forth of the death of Jesus until he comes again. It is a dramatic declaration of “how much God has done for you.”

THE THIRD SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST
We have no good apart from God. That makes Jesus’ call to follow him an invitation to freedom. This is freedom to revel in the Spirit’s fruit: love, joy, peace, and patience. This is freedom to not be imprisoned by anything that would keep us from the fullness of the life God has given us. This is the path of life.
