SUMMARY:Pentecost
DESCRIPTION:This Sunday is Pentecost\, the time when we remember the Holy Spirit coming upon the disciples like tongues of fire and giving birth to the church. It is also confirmation Sunday! What a time to welcome and celebrate these commitments of discipleship among a handful of young people. This winter/spring\, these young people have been wrestling with the questions of “Who am I as God’s beloved?” “How do I belong in this church and in God’s kingdom?” And “What is God’s purpose in my life?” May we all be inspired by their voices and challenged to ask these questions of ourselves and we celebrate the work of the Holy Spirit among us. \nAfter worship and in preparation for next Sunday\, Casey Curran will be in our gathering spaces with his camera. He hopes to capture short videos of you answering the question\, “What piece of wisdom would you share?” These short clips will be used to create a video montage for Graduate Sunday on June 12. \nJoin us in person or online for worship on Sundays at 10am. If you’re joining us in person\, please review our updated mask practice.

SUMMARY:Dancing in a Circle
DESCRIPTION:This Sunday is Peace with Justice Sunday\, Trinity Sunday and Graduate Sunday! It is a lot to celebrate\, but we are going to make it happen. We will be receiving a special offering for this denominational wide effort of funding ministries that focus on making peace and building justice. Your Peace with Justice Sunday gifts change lives in places where the joy of knowing Christ is mixed with the tragedy of violence. United Methodists relate to this special Sunday by seeking peaceful solutions\, creating and supporting peace-related ministries in their conference and learning about peaceful\, just efforts around the world. We will celebrate our graduates with a blessing and hearing about their accomplishments and future plans. Let us celebrate the love of God! \nJoin us in person or online for worship on Sundays at 10am. If you’re joining us in person\, please review our updated mask practice. \n

SUMMARY:The Spirit has Something to Say
DESCRIPTION:It is Juneteenth. Through our reconciling ministries\, our call to anti-racism work and our Big Deal Weekend we are committing ourselves to the decisive action of dismantling racism and resisting oppression in all its forms. This parallels denominational efforts. On this Sunday\, we will observe Juneteenth as a sign of solidarity and hope for all of God’s people. Liberation activists remind us that our liberation is bound to the liberation of all. Jesus liberates people. In the Gospel of Luke\, we find Jesus healing a demoniac\, unbinding him\, and redirecting him to the work of God. On this Juneteenth\, let us be redirected to the work that shines the light on justice and bears witness to the unity of salvation for the entire body of Christ. Come\, let us worship a Liberating God. \nJoin us in person or online for worship on Sundays at 10am. If you’re joining us in person\, please review our updated mask practice.
