We continue with our summer sermon series on the New Testament.This Sunday we explore the second gospel in our New Testament, the Gospel According to Mark. Specifically, we will explore Mark 3:20-35. This challenging text has Jesus being accused of being out of his mind and connected to demons and Jesus redefining who family is among those who worship God. We’ll explore the many layers of this text as Mark tells it and what it means for us today.

📖 Scriptures: Mark 3:20-35

Also this Sunday:
- First outdoor service of the summer
- Engagement Fair between and after the services
- Second Sunday Friends and Fellowship (light breakfast) hosted by Circle 4

New Sunday School Class: Icons and the Kingdom

Join our summer intern, Aly Ruth Fry, on Sunday, June 21 and 28, from 9:30-10:30 a.m. in the youth space, on level 1 of the Cannon Education Building, for Icons and the Kingdom: The Role of Icons in Community.

Learn a brief survey of how the sacred artistic practice of painting/writing icons has been used to capture a communal experience and invoke a response, mostly within the current era. Employing the work of several artists, specifically Kelly Latimore, to show examples of how this has and is being done. Each class will also include time dedicated to the practice of Visio Divina over a few icons.

We invite you to join us this Sunday morning to support Aly Ruth Fry, our Summer Ministry Intern from Duke Divinity School, as she delivers her first sermon at Rumple. We take the responsibility to be a teaching church seriously as we answer God’s call to nurture young people who feel called to the ministry. We am excited to hear how the Spirit has moved in her this week as Aly continues our summer sermon series, “The Bible Tells Me So: The New Testament.” She will preach from Matthew 9:9-13, 18-26, helping us learn more not only about this text but also about the Gospel of Matthew, the first gospel.

📖 Scriptures: Psalm 33:1-12 and Matthew 9:9-13, 18-26

Last weekend 9 of our youth and 3 adult chaperons traveled for their annual beach trip. They had a long weekend filled with fellowship, service, worship and of course fun. It wouldn’t be the annual beach trip without beach Olympics.

This Sunday, we will begin our summer-long sermon series, “The Bible Tells Me So: The New Testament.” If you were at Rumple in summer 2025, you know we attempted to preach through the entire Old Testament. This summer, we will attempt to do the same with the New Testament. We hope you will join us this Sunday, as Kathy will offer an introduction to our sermon series. We’ll explore how we read Scripture as Presbyterians, how we interpret Scripture, and why an overview of the whole Bible is helpful for all of us in becoming more familiar with Scripture, its themes, and how it presents God’s salvation history.

Our Scriptures for Sunday are Psalm 8 and Matthew 28:16-20. The latter text contains some well-known words of Jesus referred to as “The Great Commission.” In that passage, Jesus commissions his first disciples to go out to share the Good News. As we dig into the New Testament this summer, I hope that we will all feel like better-equipped disciples who are able to share the Good News of God’s love through our words and actions.

At 9:30 we will have Rev. Dr. Margaret Aymer Oget, who will join us from Austin Seminary via Zoom to discuss the new proposed confession.

Sunday is also the final Sunday of May, so we will receive the Pennies for Hunger offering in addition to our regular morning offerings.
