Jesus heals on a Sunday. According to Jewish Law that is forbidden, but not according to God’s Law. Any day is a good day to be healed and to begin a new life.
Preacher: Pastor Paula
Sunday, June 1: Worship
In the gospel reading for the day Jesus prayers for us. We are his followers and he knows that will not always be the easiest thing to be. During the early years of the church Christians were persecuted, some even losing their lives. Today’s dangers are much more subtle. The values of the world we live in are not necessarily the values of God’s kingdom. One very blatant example: the world tells us to take care of ourselves. The Gospel tells us to take care of one another.

Sunday, June 8: The Day of Pentecost: Worship with Holy Communion and Two Baptisms
Today disciples that have been hiding behind locked doors are filled with God’s Holy Spirit and find themselves out of the streets telling the story of Jesus’ death and resurrection. We are still given the gift of that same Spirit at our baptisms and that same Spirit gives us the courage to do things we would have never thought of doing. To make this day even more special we have two baptism: Lauren Maerz, daughter of Jack Maerz and Megan Lynch and Violet Weir, daughter of Taylor and Joseph Weir.
Preacher: Pastor Paula
Sunday, June 15: Worship: Holy Trinity Sunday
Today we have one lesson that highlights the work of each person in the Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Ghost. \The three are all the same person or God, just different ways God has tried to connect with us. God is willing to do whatever it takes to connect with us and get into our lives.
Preacher: Pastor Paula
Sunday, June 22: Worship with Holy Communion with Annual Meeting following.
In today’s gospel reading Jesus includes foreigners and his authority extends to the casting out of demons. We know who foreigners are, but just what does the Bible mean when it talks about demons and why are the two put side by side in this reading?
Preacher: Pastor Paula
Sunday, June 29: Worship
In today’s gospel lesson Jesus is on his way to Jerusalem. He is committed to God’s will and will not allow himself to be distracted. Are we that single-minded. It is so easy to get distracted, but Jesus tells us up-front, “No procrastination. No backward looks. You can’t put God’s kingdom off till tomorrow. Seize the day.”
