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.

Philippians 2:1-8 | Matthew 20:25-28
A sense of awe can include witnessing acts of “moral beauty.” Jesus’ life was an example of moral beauty–a ministry of lifting up the cause of the lowly and advocating for the power of peace and justice. Research shows that when we witness with awe others’ kindness, courage, strength, and overcoming, we are more likely to feel inspired to give ourselves in service of the good. We become more self-giving, more ready to lend a helping hand or commit energy to making the world a better place.

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!

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.
