Welcome to Trinity Sunday! We were raised on the Trinity as a part of our faith, Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Jesus sends His apostles into the world to baptize in the name of the triune God (Matt.28:19). Looking into the Old Testament, God’s very Name is...
Pentecost! A day of miracle and amazement. Acts 2 tells the story of a sound like rushing wind, fire upon the heads of the apostles, words spoken by Galileans and understood by men of every culture in the Mediterranean basin no matter their language. A...
Today’s gospel message is from the 17th Chapter of John’s gospel, V1-11 – this section is known as The High Priestly Prayer. You’ll notice that Jesus, in His final hours of freedom, prayed for His apostles. Scripture does not say He drew off by Himself...
This morning we will sing some familiar songs, limber up your voices to join our singers! You’ll need your Bibles, of course – mark them at Acts 17:16-32, our epistle reading, and also at John 14:15-21. The Epistle finds Paul in Athens, awaiting the arrival of friends,...

“Peace be with you” He said. Two Sundays in a row Jesus came to the disciples. They were afraid, behind a locked door in the upper room, and in need of reassurance and of peace in their hearts. They must have suspected their lives would not...
He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed! Hallelujah! In the Lenten season I’ve not greeted you with that call and response – Lent is no time for hallelujahs. But here we are, at last: Easter Sunday! So let it rip: He is Risen! He is Risen...
