Sunday, June 27, Fifth Sunday After Pentecost
Almighty God, you have built your Church upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone: Grant us so to be joined together in unity of spirit by their teaching, that we may be made a holy temple acceptable to you; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Sunday, June 27 is the Fifth Sunday after Pentecost. Find the readings here.
Dear Friends, We’re happy to welcome our speaker Gwen Kopka who will tell us about the Thrift Shop. We continue to draw on our library of music to draw attention to the Bible readings and themes of the day. Rick Britton reads the prayers. Jim LaBelle & Martha Whitney read the lessons. To celebrate Juneteenth we’ll sing “Lift Every Voice and Sing.” One of my favorites is “Morning Glory, Starlit Sky” which features such a vivid text and music by a woman! Another favorite of many, “Calm to the waves” with words depicting Jesus’ prayer in the boat during a storm, words by Mary Louise Bringle and music by Thom Pavlechko. Finally one of the first hymn collaborations we made “All Things Bright and Beautiful.” I hope you’ll all be singing along!
