The welcome of baptism is for all God’s children. This baptismal gift sets us free from the power of sin and death. In today’s gospel, Christ promises that the disciple who gives a cup of cold water to the little ones serves Christ himself. From worship we are sent on our baptismal mission: to serve the little ones of this world and to be a sign of God’s merciful welcome.
Join us Sunday June 28, 9:30 am service, followed by fellowship.
Come and See

God does not promise that the path of the disciple will be easy. Jeremiah feels the
pain of rejection from those who do not want to hear what he has to say. Jesus
declares that his words may bring stark division. Even so, we need not be afraid for
God accounts for each hair on our heads. Though we may experience rejection,
frustration, division, and death, God’s grace and love make us a new creation each
day. Marked with the cross and filled with holy food, we are sent from worship to
witness to Christ in the world.
Join us Sunday 6/21, Service at 9:30. All are welcome. Come and See

Though the word trinity is not found in the scriptures, Sunday's second reading includes the apostolic greeting that begins the liturgy: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. In the gospel Jesus sends his disciples forth to baptize in the name of the Father, and
the Son, and the Holy Spirit. More than a doctrine, the Trinity expresses the heart of our faith: we have experienced the God of creation made known in Jesus Christ and with us always through the Holy Spirit. We celebrate the mystery of the Holy Trinity in word and sacrament, as we profess the creed, and as we are sent into the
world to bear witness to our faith.
