Welcome to our virtual worship for the 5th Sunday of Easter.
You can preview the texts here:
(This week, in the book of Acts, Stephen takes Bob Dylan a bit too literally, perhaps; the author of the first letter of Peter gives a spiritual building lesson; and in John's gospel, Jesus abides his time...)
The bulletin is attached for your convenience. As always, we will open the worship space at 9:45 AM to give everyone a chance to do a little greeting before the service begins at 10.

Prayer of healing
Gracious and loving God,
In this time of uncertainty and crisis, we raise before you our fear, our anxiety, our deepest concerns and our greatest hopes.
We pray for all who are stricken by this virus, that you grant them courage and strength;
we pray for those who labor at personal risk to bring comfort and healing, that you protect them from all harm and bless the application of their skill and experience;
we pray for all who have been impacted financially - those who have lost jobs, those who are hungry, those who fear the loss of home or business, and those already on the margins whose suffering has increased - that you may be a source of hope for them and an inspiration to others who have the power to alleviate their anguish;
And, we pray that you will bring us together in this moment as a nation, that we rise to the single purpose of doing all we can to support the healing and safety and recovery of our neighbors near and far, that in committing ourselves to the welfare of the other we may discover that the love that binds us is greater than anything that might separate us;
all this we ask in your most Holy name, for you are the source of all healing, all hope, all love and all peace. Amen
