April 21 – Fourth Sunday of Easter
Psalm 23 | John 10:11-18

Jesus identifies himself in terms that people of his day and culture could understand – “I am the good shepherd.” Being a good shepherd is linked to knowing the sheep and laying down one’s life for the sheep.

The Rev. John Shillingburg will be preaching. The Senior Choir will be singing. Jenna Duranko will offer special music on the marimba.

April 14 – Third Sunday of Easter
Acts 3: 12-19 | Luke 24:36b–48

Here it is again – another story like last week from John’s gospel (John 20:19–31) when Jesus encounters the disciples after the Resurrection and greets them with a word of peace. This encounter, however, doesn’t seem to calm the disciples but stirs them up. When does being a Christ-like peace bearer stir things up?

The Senior Choir will be singing. Today, we will welcome Brennen Robert Marsh through the Sacrament of Baptism. Brennen is the child of Breanne Marsh and the grandchild of Bob and Suzanne Marsh.

March 24– Palm Sunday
“Songs of loudest praise”

As Holy Week begins, Peter is no longer front and center, and so we imagine he is with the rest of the disciples when Jesus enters Jerusalem on a colt. As they witness crowds shouting hosannas, the disciples are confused. When they look back on this experience, perhaps they will remember the songs. The singing is surely etched in their memories. As we imagine ourselves in the crowd on this day, may we remember that they are supposed to be praising Caesar, but instead they are shouting for the one entering the city on a donkey. Their singing is subversive, courageous, and contagious. Their praise shows the ripple effect of public displays of faith.

The Senior Choir will be singing. Market Street Brass will offer special music.

March 10 – Fourth Sunday in Lent
“I’m fixed upon it”

Psalm 107:1-3, 17-22 | Matthew 16: 21-23

When your world unravels and your beliefs are tested, you may cling to what you know. As Jesus foretells his death and resurrection, Peter protests. Peter is fixed upon the way he thinks things should go; he resists the pain of what will come. But Jesus is fixed upon his calling and calls Peter out. For everyone, there comes a time when your faith is tested and you will have to face difficult and inconvenient truths. We may want to take the easier path, the path with less pain. We may want to cling to easy or simplistic answers. Instead, what does it look like to welcome complexity? Can you stay fixed upon your convictions while also expanding your perspective?

Spirit will be sharing in music leadership this morning. Today we will be celebrating the baptism of Caiseal Penn Bernstein Lynch.

March 3 – Third Sunday in Lent
“Praise the mount”

Psalm 19 | Matthew 16: 13-20

“Praise the mount of God’s unchanging love. . . ”
This lyric represents Peter’s mountaintop faith moment. It speaks to spiritual euphoria and feeling the closeness of God. In this story, Peter proclaims who Jesus is. He speaks with conviction. Peter claims his faith. If you had to speak your faith in one sentence or phrase, what would you say? When we have the courage to say, “This, I believe…” then that conviction has a ripple effect on others. When life gets rocky, we lean on mountaintop moments and our deepest convictions to see us through.

We will receive new members and share in communion this morning. The Senior Choir will be singing.

February 25 – Second Sunday in Lent
“Rescue me from danger”

Psalm 22:23-31 | Matthew 14:22-33

As a new disciple, perhaps Peter wants to prove himself. Boldly, in the middle of a storm, Peter steps out of the boat to join Jesus who is walking on top of the waves. He, too, walks on water until the wind shakes his trust and he begins to sink. Many of us know what it feels like to be thrown off balance, to feel as if we’re sinking. Maybe this looks like doubt, unexpected change, too-busy seasons of life, devastating grief, or distance from God. In this story, we empathize with the desperation Peter feels as he cries out, and we pray for God to save us when we sink.

The Senior Choir will be singing.
