Pentecost Sunday - May 31, 2020

MAY 31 - PENTECOST SUNDAY
1300+ Pentecost Choir!

Make sure to watch the postlude this week! Over 1300 members of the Association of Lutheran Musicians worked together to form a virtual choir for Pentecost. Our very own Don Trapp is one of the singers in this choir!

Read more about how this choir project came to be.

As always, thank you to everyone for responding generously to my invitations to record something for our online worship. God's fiery Spirit be upon you and your family this Pentecost. Feel the warmth of the Spirit within and the wind of this same Spirit moving you in old and new ways to bring light into the world.

Peace,
PV

DWELLING IN THE WORD
 Martin Luther argued that “the ears are the only organs of a Christian,” since it is through the ear that life begins, through hearing the preached Word of God.

Read scripture from YOUR Bible at home. Remember the story of who gave you or how you got your Bible. May this story remind you of your connection to Christ & others.

READINGS FOR PENTECOST
1 Corinthians 12:3b-13 (what gifts of the Spirit do you have?)

REMEMBERING OUR COMMUNION
One thing that many miss is sharing in Holy Communion.  This time invites us to turn our question from, "How do we receive Holy Communion?” to “How does the Word of God come to us and how do we receive the Word of God?
PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE
Prayer is central to the life of faith because it connects us to God and each other, a reminder that we are never socially distanced in Christ. Please say these names aloud as a way of lifting them up to God this day. Names in bold were added this past week. You are welcome in this time of prayer to include your own joys and concerns.

- John Bunyan

And if you’re not already a sustaining member of our ministry through our Consecration Sunday process, I can’t think of a more important time to step in.

BLESSING FOR THE WEEK AHEAD
Neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers,
nor things present, nor things to come,
nor powers, nor heights, nor depths,
nor anything else in all creation,
will be able to separate us
from the love of God in Christ Jesus

God, the creator, + Jesus, the Christ,
and the Holy Spirit, the comforter,
bless you and keep you in eternal love.
Alleluia and Amen!
GO IN PEACE...TOGETHER, BOLDLY LIVING AND SHARING GOD'S GRACE WITH ALL!
