The disciples make a big splash and breakfast with the risen Jesus in the gospel. Wading in the water (remembering our baptism) and eating with Jesus (celebrating the holy communion) is our weekly encounter with the risen Christ. Jesus asks us, with Peter, again and again: Do you love me? And Jesus invites us, again and again, to follow him bringing the Easter life to others.

This Sunday!
Bring a Friend Fiesta ::: May 5
Hola a todos and Hello everyone!

This Sunday, May the 5th, is Cinco de Mayo. It is in the spirit of faith and fun that we are looking to do a “Bring a Friend Fiesta!”

Below you are going to find a video that has the written music with an accompaniment track for a new setting for us in worship that we’d like to use called Setting 7 from the ELW, or Evangelical Lutheran Worship book. While it is a Spanish setting, we will be singing it in both Spanish and English!

It is faithful. It’s playful. It’s enjoyable! And to help you hear it in order to get familiar with it, just click on the video below.
May 5 is celebrated as Cinco de Mayo, a celebration of victory ( read more about Cinco de Mayo here).
We are inviting others into the Christian celebration of Christ's resurrection with a Bring a Friend Fiesta! We will be doing a Spanish inspired liturgy for worship that day and we hope you will invite others to come with you to join the resurrection feast and fiesta!
