Scripture Readings for Sunday, May 16, 2021
Seventh Sunday of Easter
|
|
The gospel for Easter’s seventh Sunday is always taken from the long prayer Jesus prays for his followers in John’s gospel on the night before his death, and always includes Jesus’ desire that his followers will be one as he and the Father are one. This oneness is not mere doctrinal agreement or institutional unity, but mutual abiding, interpenetrating life, mutual love, and joy. This oneness is the work of the Spirit whom we have received but also await. Come, Holy Spirit! |

From the desk of Pastor Katie
Grace, peace and every good be with you!
God loves you - Love your neighbor.
If I had to put the past few weeks of our scripture readings in a nutshell - that phrase above would be it. One thing I find so meaningful about our faith is the endless opportunities a main tenant like that opens up for us. There are infinite possibilities for how we can care for our neighbor.
I also appreciate our connection to the larger Church that opens opportunities for us to serve our neighbors near and far. Lutheran Disaster Response has been a long-time, well respected arm of our church that aides those in disasters. Whether it's been hurricanes right here on our Texas coasts or natural disasters abroad, Lutheran Disaster Response has been there to assist folks on the ground in the midst of whatever chaos unfolded.
We've heard about the devastating surge of COVID-19 in India and Lutheran Disaster Response is doing what they do best - responding! If you'd like to learn more, or if you'd like to make a financial gift to that effort, visit this link: Asian-Pacific Disaster Response
God the Holy Spirit is with us and guiding us in all the ways we seek to share God's love with the world by serving our neighbor.
All my love to each of you.
Peace and grace be with you,
<><
Pastor Katie
Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions.
