Romans 5:1-8 | Matthew 9:35-10:8
We intend this service to be intentional around naming and reconciling the actions and emotions of the past, with our hearts bent towards moving to wholeness as a community of faith. Our strength as a church is our people, and we best meet the challenge of loving our neighbor when we can act lovingly to all, especially our own congregants. Please join us as we set our hearts toward the work of reconciliation as we prepare to be led by a new shepherd as one healthy, loving Body of Christ.
Our associate conference minister, Rev. Sheresa Simpson-Rice will co-lead the service alongside our associate pastor, Pastor Kirstin Shrom-Rhoads. Spirit will sing with accompaniment from Laura Walling and Joe Baker. We will also be collecting Pack the Pantry items.

Psalm 149 | Mark 11:1-10 | Acts 2:1-17, 21
On Pentecost Sunday, Christians around the world celebrate the formation of the church when the Holy Spirit called people into community as Christ’s body and blessed them with universal understanding of languages. Some theologians describe Pentecost as the Church’s birthday. Others describe it as a “big bang” that brought the Church into being, for just as God’s Spirit came rushing into the world over the waters of creation, in Acts 2, God’s Spirit rushes into the world to gather and transform God’s people.
So where does that leave us? If we are willing to be amazed, Pentecost is one of the most awe-inspiring days in our Christian calendar. If we are willing to be transformed, it is an opportunity to be renewed in energy and faithfulness toward the work of God’s kingdom on earth when all people will experience true liberation and boundless love.
The Rev. Kirstin Shrom-Rhoads will be preaching and leading worship. The Senior Choir will sing. We will receive the Strengthen Our Church Offering. You are encouraged to wear red!
May 17, 2026 – Seventh Sunday in Easter – Mental Health Sunday
8:30 AM, Worship in Sanctuary
10:30 AM Worship in Sanctuary and Livestream
We humans love repetition… up to a point. But sometimes we just need a good “Wow!” and some goosebumps to help us feel fully alive. Our physical response to awe-filled moments come from a very ancient part of our evolution–even before language. And those goosebumps? They helped us forge connections with others as we faced the vast mysteries of life together. Delight still plays an important role in our spiritual needs and in our sense of a deeply relational life.
The Rev. Suzanne Adele Schmidt, Ph.D. will be preaching and leading worship. The Senior Choir will sing.

The element of curiosity is linked to wellbeing of all kinds–spiritually, mentally, creatively. Awe-filled experiences are curiosity-boosters. Play, imagination, experimentation, and even simply slowing down to “linger longer” as we engage with the sights and sounds and smells of our ordinary surroundings can add to the amount of awe in our lives. Curiosity resists easy labeling and classifying, rather it invites us to deeper discovery about life, faith, and each other.
The Rev. John Shillingburg with be preaching and leading worship. Spirit will sing.
