Theme for the Day: Signs Of Love … Change Everything!
October Pentecost Theme: Celebrating And Sharing Signs Of Love In The Grace Of Jesus Christ!
Readings: John 8:31-36

Some things do more than simply change our circumstances. They change everything.

On Reformation Sunday, we celebrate the good news at the heart of our Lutheran faith: God's grace is freely given to us through Jesus Christ. We do not earn God's love, work our way into God's favor, or somehow make ourselves worthy. Grace comes first. God loves us, forgives us, claims us, and sets us free.

In this week's Gospel, Jesus promises, “If the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.” Jesus is the truth who reveals God's perfect love for us. He is the Son who sets us free. He is God's grace made known among us. This sign of perfect love changes everything.

The Reformation reminds us that the Church is always being called back to this truth. When grace is at the center, we see ourselves differently. We see our neighbors differently. We discover freedom to serve rather than earn, to give rather than keep score, and to love because God has first loved us.

As we continue Celebrating And Sharing Signs Of Love In The Grace Of Jesus Christ!, we give thanks for the greatest sign of love of all, Jesus Christ. In Him, we are forgiven. In Him, we are made free. In Him, we are continually made new.

Theme for the Day: Signs Of Love … All Is God’s!
October Pentecost Theme: Celebrating And Sharing Signs Of Love In The Grace Of Jesus Christ!
Readings: Matthew 22:15-22

What belongs to God?

In this week's Gospel, Jesus is confronted with a question meant to trap Him: Is it lawful to pay taxes to the emperor? Looking at the coin placed before Him, Jesus responds with words that have echoed through generations: “Give therefore to the emperor the things that are the emperor’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”

It may sound like a simple division, but Jesus invites us to consider something much greater. If our lives, our gifts, our relationships, our resources, and all of creation come from God, then what truly belongs to God? Everything.

Recognizing that all is God's changes the way we see what has been entrusted to us. Our time becomes an opportunity to serve. Our gifts become opportunities to bless. Our resources become opportunities to care for our neighbors. Our very lives become signs of love, reflecting the grace we have first received from God.

As we continue Celebrating And Sharing Signs Of Love In The Grace Of Jesus Christ!, we give thanks that God does not ask us to create these signs of love on our own. God first gives generously to us. Through Jesus Christ, we receive grace, forgiveness, hope, and new life, and we are invited to share those gifts freely with others.

Theme for the Day: Signs Of Love … Answering The Invitation!
October Pentecost Theme: Celebrating And Sharing Signs Of Love In The Grace Of Jesus Christ!
Readings: Matthew 22:1-14

You are invited!

In this week's Gospel, Jesus tells the parable of a wedding banquet. Invitations have been sent, a feast has been prepared, and everything is ready. Yet those first invited choose not to come. The invitation then reaches farther and wider, welcoming others to come, gather, and share in the celebration.

Through this parable, Jesus reveals another powerful sign of God's love: the invitation of grace. God reaches out to us, calls us, and invites us into a life and relationship with Him. The invitation is not something we earn or deserve. It is given freely because God first loves us.

Yet an invitation asks for a response. God entrusts each of us with the opportunity to answer, to receive His grace, and to allow that grace to shape the way we live. Again and again, God calls us from wherever we are, inviting us to the table, into community, and into a life of faith and love.

As we continue Celebrating And Sharing Signs Of Love In The Grace Of Jesus Christ!, may we recognize God's invitations all around us. Each new day brings opportunities to receive grace, share love, serve our neighbors, and invite others to experience the welcome God has already extended to us.

Theme for the Day: Signs Of Love … Bearing Fruit!
October Pentecost Theme: Celebrating And Sharing Signs Of Love In The Grace Of Jesus Christ!
Readings: Philippians 3:4b-14; Matthew 21:33-46

What has God placed into our care?

This Sunday begins a new journey as we celebrate and share the countless signs of God's love all around us. In Jesus' parable of the vineyard, a landowner entrusts something precious to the care of tenants, expecting them to faithfully tend the vineyard and bear fruit. Jesus invites us to consider all that God, our faithful Landowner, has entrusted to us.

Our lives, our gifts, our relationships, our church, and the opportunities we have to serve our neighbors are not simply possessions to hold onto. They are signs of love placed into our care. God calls us to tend them faithfully, allowing His grace to bear fruit through the ways we love, serve, give, welcome, and care for one another.

Paul reminds us in Philippians to keep "straining forward to what lies ahead," pressing on because Christ has first made us His own. We do not bear fruit to earn God's love. We bear fruit because God has already loved us, chosen us, and entrusted us with more signs of His grace than we could ever count.

This Sunday we will also celebrate the Sacrament of Holy Baptism for Matthew Ryan Norman Wegner, welcoming Matthew into the Lord's family and giving thanks for another beautiful sign of God's love and grace among us.

Sunday, September 27, 2026 – Confirmation Sunday
The Eighteenth Sunday After Pentecost

Theme for the Day: Confirmed Anew, In Love & Wisdom, Each And Every Day!
September Pentecost Theme: Celebrating And Sharing A New Beginning In God's Grace Alone!
Readings: Matthew 21:23-32

Confirmation Sunday is a joyful reminder that faith is not simply a milestone to reach, but a lifelong journey of growing in God's grace. As we celebrate our confirmands and the promises they make, we also remember that each day is an opportunity for all of us to be renewed in faith, hope, and love.

In this week's Gospel, the religious leaders question Jesus' authority. Rather than answering with worldly power or position, Jesus points them toward a deeper wisdom that can only be recognized through humble and faithful hearts. God's authority is revealed not through control or status, but through love, mercy, and the transforming power of grace.

As we continue our September theme, Celebrating And Sharing A New Beginning In God's Grace Alone!, we are reminded that God's wisdom continually invites us to see life differently. Christ calls us beyond appearances, beyond assumptions, and beyond the expectations of this world into a life shaped by compassion, forgiveness, and faithful obedience.

Today, as we celebrate those affirming their baptismal faith, may we all be confirmed anew in God's love and wisdom. Through the Holy Spirit, God continues to strengthen, guide, and encourage us each and every day, giving us fresh opportunities to live as disciples of Jesus Christ.

Affirmation of Baptism

We invite you to join us on September 27, 2026, as we celebrate a special and meaningful occasion in the life of our church community - Confirmation Sunday and the Affirmation of Baptism.

Confirmation is a significant milestone in the faith journey of our young members. It is a time when they have the opportunity to affirm their baptismal vows and declare their commitment to living a life of faith. On this day, our confirmands will stand before the congregation to acknowledge the grace of God, the teachings of Jesus Christ, and their desire to live as faithful disciples.

The Affirmation of Baptism is not just a rite of passage but a sacred moment where our youth publicly declare their beliefs, values, and dedication to their Christian faith. It is a day of celebration, reflection, and commitment.

We encourage you to join us in worship and witness this special event. Your presence and support mean a great deal to our confirmands as they take this important step in their faith journey. Let us come together as a community to celebrate, encourage, and uplift these young members as they affirm their faith and commitment to Christ.

Please mark your calendars and plan to be part of this joyous occasion. We look forward to seeing you there as we celebrate Confirmation Sunday and the Affirmation of Baptism on September 27, 2026.

Banquet

Join us for a special evening of celebration and fellowship at our Confirmation Banquet on September 20, 2026. This event serves as both a rehearsal and a joyful gathering in anticipation of Confirmation Sunday, which will take place the following week.

As we prepare to celebrate the Confirmation of our young members, we invite all 10th grade confirmands and their families to come together for a delightful dinner. Dinner will be brought in, allowing everyone to enjoy a meal together in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

The Confirmation Banquet is not only an opportunity to share a meal but also a time for our confirmands to rehearse and become familiar with the order of service and the sanctuary. It's a chance for them to feel comfortable and confident as they prepare to affirm their faith on Confirmation Sunday, September 27th, 2026.

We encourage all 10th grade confirmands and their families to attend this special event. It's a wonderful way to connect with one another, celebrate the journey of faith, and build a sense of community within our church family.

Please mark your calendars and plan to join us for the Confirmation Banquet on September 20, 2026. We look forward to sharing this memorable evening with you as we prepare for Confirmation Sunday.

Sunday, September 20, 2026 – The Seventeenth Sunday After Pentecost

Theme for the Day: A New Beginning, In More Than Expected!
September Pentecost Theme: Celebrating And Sharing A New Beginning In God's Grace Alone!
Readings: Matthew 20:1-16

Life often teaches us that we receive what we earn. We learn to measure success by effort, reward by achievement, and fairness by keeping careful accounts. Yet the kingdom of God operates in a wonderfully different way.

In this week's Gospel, Jesus tells the parable of the laborers in the vineyard. Those who worked only a short time received the same generous wage as those who labored throughout the entire day. At first, this seems unfair. But Jesus reveals that God's grace is never about earning what we deserve. It is about receiving the generous love that God freely chooses to give.

If we received only what we had earned, none of us could stand before God on our own. Instead, God welcomes us with mercy, forgiveness, and abundant grace. God's generosity exceeds every expectation, inviting us into a new way of seeing ourselves, our neighbors, and the Kingdom.

As we continue celebrating and sharing a new beginning in God's grace alone, may we discover that God always has more in store than we imagine. His blessings are greater than our calculations, His mercy is deeper than our failures, and His promises reach far beyond what we could ever expect. In Christ, every new beginning comes with the joyful promise that God's grace always gives us more than we thought possible.

Sunday, September 13, 2026 – Fall Schedule Resumes, Including Faith Quest and Blessing of the Backpacks
The Sixteenth Sunday After Pentecost

Theme for the Day: Oh, You Think So?
September Pentecost Theme: Celebrating And Sharing A New Beginning In God's Grace Alone!
Readings: Matthew 18:21-35

As we begin a new season together, returning to our fall schedule, Faith Quest, and the Blessing of the Backpacks, we are reminded that every new beginning is rooted in God's abundant grace.

In this week's Gospel, Peter asks Jesus how many times he should forgive someone who sins against him. Surely there must be a limit. Jesus responds by telling the parable of the unforgiving servant, revealing that God's forgiveness cannot be measured or earned. While we often keep score, counting successes, failures, and what others owe us, God's grace refuses to be confined by our calculations.

Perhaps God gently smiles and asks us, "Oh, you think so?" whenever we try to measure our worth or someone else's by keeping score. If our place in God's kingdom depended on our performance, we would fall short every time. Yet through Jesus Christ, we receive forgiveness that is abundant, undeserved, and freely given. In God's grace, every day becomes a new beginning.

As backpacks are blessed and a new ministry year begins, we celebrate that God sends each of us into the world carrying far more than books, schedules, or plans. We are sent with the promise that His grace goes with us, His mercy renews us, and His love is always more than enough for whatever lies ahead.

Sunday, September 6, 2026 – Labor Day Weekend
The Fifteenth Sunday After Pentecost

Theme for the Day: A New Beginning Does Not Take Much!
September Pentecost Theme: Celebrating And Sharing A New Beginning In God’s Grace Alone!
Readings: Matthew 18:15-20

Every new beginning can seem overwhelming. We wonder if we have enough faith, enough strength, enough wisdom, or enough courage to take the next step. Yet again and again, God reminds us that His work has never depended upon having "enough." It has always depended upon His grace.

In this week's Gospel, Jesus promises that where two or three gather in His name, He is present among them. What seems small by the world's standards becomes something extraordinary in God's hands. A conversation, a prayer, an act of forgiveness, a small gathering of believers, these become places where Christ is powerfully present.

As we begin a new month and a new season with the theme, Celebrating And Sharing A New Beginning In God's Grace Alone!, we are invited to trust that God can accomplish great things through ordinary people. We may question our faithfulness or feel that what we have to offer is not much. Yet God takes who we are, what we have, and our willingness to follow, and transforms it into far more than enough.

As summer gives way to autumn and new routines begin, may we celebrate each fresh start with confidence. The gentle breeze of God's grace continues to move among us, reminding us that every new beginning starts not with our abilities, but with God's faithful presence.

Sunday, August 30, 2026 – The Fourteenth Sunday After Pentecost

Theme for the Day: Don’t Get In My Way!
Season Theme: Sharing Gentle Breezes In The Grace Of Jesus Christ
Readings: Matthew 16:21-28

Following Peter's bold confession that Jesus is the Messiah, the conversation takes an unexpected turn. When Jesus begins to reveal that He must suffer and die, Peter cannot accept it. Trying to protect Jesus, Peter unknowingly stands in the way of God's greater purpose, prompting Jesus' powerful response: "Get behind me, Satan!"

This Gospel reminds us that even our best intentions can sometimes become stumbling blocks. We may try to take control, avoid hardship, or choose the easier path, but God's way often leads us through places we would never choose on our own. Still, it is always the path of grace, redemption, and life.

As we share the final gentle breezes of summer, we are invited to trust the Spirit's leading with renewed confidence. Jesus continues to call us forward, overcoming our fears, our doubts, and our imperfections. Nothing, not even our own stumbling blocks, can prevent God's grace from accomplishing its purpose in our lives.

Christ faithfully removes every obstacle that separates us from His love. He calls us to follow Him, trusting that His grace is always greater than the challenges before us and that nothing can stand in the way of the salvation He freely gives.

Sunday, August 23, 2026 – The Thirteenth Sunday After Pentecost

Theme for the Day: A Lesson In Geology!
Season Theme: Sharing Gentle Breezes In The Grace Of Jesus Christ
Readings: Matthew 16:13-20

In life, we all look for something solid to stand on. When circumstances shift beneath our feet and the path becomes steep, we long for a foundation that will never give way.

In this week's Gospel, Peter boldly confesses that Jesus is "the Messiah, the Son of the living God." Jesus responds by declaring that this confession of faith is the rock upon which He will build His Church. It is not a foundation built on human strength or perfection, but on the unshakable truth of who Christ is.

As we continue our journey of Sharing Gentle Breezes In The Grace Of Jesus Christ, we are invited to feel the refreshing breeze of God's Spirit strengthening our faith once again. We are reminded to trust the Rock of our salvation, to treasure the gifts God has given us, and to keep climbing even when we stumble. God's grace does not abandon us when we slip. Instead, it lifts us up, steadies our feet, and calls us onward.

The Church continues to stand because Christ remains its sure foundation. His grace is rock solid, His promises are faithful, and His love endures through every season of life.

Sunday, August 16, 2026 – The Twelfth Sunday After Pentecost

Theme for the Day: Even Better Than This!
Season Theme: Sharing Gentle Breezes In The Grace Of Jesus Christ
Readings: Matthew 15:10-28

Sometimes we settle for what seems possible, believing that what is right in front of us is all we can hope for. Yet God continually invites us to trust that His grace has something even greater in store.

In this week's Gospel, a Canaanite woman comes to Jesus with remarkable faith. Though she is told that even the crumbs from the table are enough, she refuses to give up hope. Her trust, humility, and persistence lead Jesus to proclaim, "Woman, great is your faith!" Through her story, we discover that God's grace is never scarce, and His mercy is always greater than we imagine.

The gentle breeze of God's Spirit stirs within us the same courageous faith. It encourages us to keep seeking, keep trusting, and keep believing that God is leading us toward something even better than we can see today. What feels like only a glimpse of hope, purpose, calling, or healing is often just the beginning of what God is preparing.

Through Jesus Christ, we receive far more than crumbs. We are welcomed to the feast of God's abundant grace, where His love satisfies, His mercy overflows, and His promises continue to unfold in our lives.

Sunday, August 9, 2026 – The Eleventh Sunday After Pentecost

Theme for the Day: Come On, You Can Make It!
Season Theme: Sharing Gentle Breezes In The Grace Of Jesus Christ
Readings: Matthew 14:22-33

There are moments in life when the winds pick up, the waves grow higher, and fear begins to overshadow our faith. In those moments, we may wonder if we have what it takes to keep moving forward.

In this week's Gospel, Jesus comes to His disciples walking on the water. When Peter asks to come to Him, Jesus simply says, "Come." Peter steps out of the boat in faith, but when he shifts his focus to the storm, he begins to sink. Even then, Jesus immediately reaches out His hand and lifts him up.

This story is not about having perfect faith. It is about trusting the One who never takes His eyes off of us. Jesus continues to call us forward, even when the journey feels impossible. He invites us to step beyond our fears, knowing that His grace is always greater than the storms we face.

As we continue sharing gentle breezes in the grace of Jesus Christ, may we feel the Spirit encouraging us anew. You can make it. You can answer God's call. You can walk in faith. You can keep your eyes on Jesus, even when the waters become rough, because through it all, Jesus never stops watching over you.

Sunday, August 2, 2026 – The Tenth Sunday After Pentecost

Theme for the Day: How Hungry Are You?
Season Theme: Sharing Gentle Breezes In The Grace Of Jesus Christ
Readings: Matthew 14:13-21

What are you hungry for?

We all experience hunger in different ways. We hunger for purpose, for peace, for hope, for belonging. We search for things that will satisfy, yet so often we discover they leave us wanting more.

In Matthew's Gospel, Jesus feeds more than five thousand people with just a few loaves and fish. What seemed impossible became more than enough. This miracle reveals not only Christ's compassion for physical needs, but His desire to satisfy the deepest hunger of the human heart.

Jesus is the One who never runs out of grace. He is the One who provides abundantly, who fills empty hands and weary souls, and who invites everyone to His table.

As we continue our summer theme, may we feel the gentle breeze of the Holy Spirit stirring within us a deeper hunger for Christ. The One who hungers for us first is always faithful to satisfy us with His love, His mercy, and His grace.

Theme for the Day: The Value Keeps Going Up!
Season Theme: Sharing Gentle Breezes In The Grace Of Jesus Christ
Readings: Matthew 13:31-33, 44-52

What is truly valuable? What is worth holding onto no matter what?

In this week's Gospel, Jesus shares several parables about the Kingdom of Heaven, including the treasure hidden in a field and the pearl of great value. Using things people treasured in everyday life, Jesus reveals something even greater: the priceless value of God's kingdom and God's grace.

The treasure and the pearl are worth everything because they point us to the love of God in Christ. This love is not meant to be merely one important part of our lives. It is meant to be everything to us. It is the gift that transforms how we see ourselves, our neighbors, and the world around us.

As we celebrate Vacation Bible School Week, we also celebrate the seeds of faith planted throughout the week in the lives of children, families, volunteers, and our congregation. Through every song, lesson, craft, and act of kindness, God's kingdom has been made known in fresh and joyful ways.

As the gentle breeze of the Holy Spirit continues to move among us, we are reminded of another amazing truth: God places priceless value on each and every one of us. We are loved, treasured, and claimed by grace.

Sunday, July 19, 2026 – The Eighth Sunday After Pentecost

Theme for the Day: Kind Of Risky!
Season Theme: Sharing Gentle Breezes In The Grace Of Jesus Christ
Readings: Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43

Life is full of risks. Some are small and everyday. Others can feel much bigger. We often want certainty, quick solutions, and clear answers.

In the Parable of the Weeds, Jesus tells a story that may seem surprising. As weeds grow among the wheat, the servants want to pull them up immediately. Yet the master tells them to wait. It seems risky. Why allow the weeds to remain? Why not remove them right away?

Through this parable, Jesus reminds us that God sees a bigger picture than we do. God's patience, mercy, and grace are at work even when we cannot fully understand what is happening around us. The Lord continues to nurture the good, care for the harvest, and guide all things according to His purpose.

As we continue our summer theme, we are invited to feel the gentle breeze of God's Spirit moving among us. When life feels uncertain, when questions remain unanswered, and when challenges continue to grow around us, we can trust the One who takes every risk necessary to save us.

In Jesus Christ, God's grace reaches into the messiness of life, bringing hope, healing, and the promise of a harvest yet to come.

Sunday, July 12, 2026 – The Seventh Sunday After Pentecost

Theme for the Day: Deeply Rooted In Grace!
Season Theme: Sharing Gentle Breezes In The Grace Of Jesus Christ
Readings: Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23

As we begin a new week of Vacation Bible School, we gather around one of Jesus' most familiar and powerful teachings: The Parable of the Sower.

In Matthew 13, Jesus reminds us that God's Word is like seed scattered generously across every kind of soil. Some seeds struggle to take root. Others are crowded out by the worries and distractions of life. But some fall on good soil and produce an abundant harvest.

The good news is that God never stops sowing. Every day, the Sower continues to plant seeds of grace, hope, faith, and love in our lives. Through the gentle breeze of the Holy Spirit, God prepares our hearts, nurtures our faith, and helps us grow deeper roots than we ever imagined possible.

As Vacation Bible School begins, we celebrate the ways God is planting seeds in the lives of children, families, and all who gather in faith. Together, we trust that God's grace is at work, helping us grow, flourish, and bear fruit for the kingdom.

Worship Highlights:

Scripture: Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23

Sunday, July 5, 2026 – The Sixth Sunday After Pentecost

Theme for the Day: Are You Getting Enough Rest?
Season Theme: Sharing Gentle Breezes In The Grace Of Jesus Christ
Readings: Matthew 11:25-30

Are you getting enough rest?

In a world that constantly asks us to do more, move faster, and carry heavier burdens, Jesus offers a different invitation. In Matthew's Gospel, He says, “Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.”

This is more than a suggestion. It is a promise.

When life becomes overwhelming, when responsibilities pile up, when worry and stress begin to weigh us down, Jesus invites us to come away with Him for a while. He invites us to cast our burdens upon Him, to trust the One who willingly takes on our struggles, and to find rest that goes deeper than a good night's sleep.

As we continue our summer theme, we are reminded that God's grace often comes like a gentle breeze, calming anxious hearts, renewing weary spirits, and restoring our strength for the journey ahead.

Real rest is found not in escaping life's challenges, but in walking with the One who promises to carry them with us.

Scripture: Matthew 11:25-30

Sunday, June 28, 2026 – The Fifth Sunday After Pentecost

Theme for the Day: You Are Welcome, Really Welcome…!
Season Theme: Sharing Gentle Breezes In The Grace Of Jesus Christ
Readings: Matthew 10:40-42

What does it mean to be truly welcome? Not simply invited. Not merely tolerated. But genuinely welcomed, valued, and given a place to belong.

In Matthew's Gospel, Jesus reminds His followers that even the smallest acts of hospitality matter in God's kingdom. A welcome offered in His name becomes a blessing. A cup of cold water shared in love becomes an expression of grace.

This promise points us to the heart of the Gospel. In Christ, there is room for everyone. We are welcomed not because we have earned a place, but because God has made a place for us. Through the gentle breeze of God's grace, we are invited into a relationship of love, mercy, and belonging.

This Sunday, we will also share Holy Communion in the Memorial Garden, gathering outdoors to celebrate God's presence among us and to remember that we are part of a community that stretches across generations, united in Christ's love.

Whether you have been here for years or are joining us for the first time, know this: you are welcome. Really welcome.

Sunday, June 21, 2026 – The Fourth Sunday After Pentecost

Theme for the Day: Overcoming Every Fear, As A Gentle Breeze Blows!
Season Theme: Sharing Gentle Breezes In The Grace Of Jesus Christ
Readings: Matthew 10:24-39

Fear is something we all experience. We worry about the future. We question our decisions. We wonder how things will turn out. At times, fear can feel larger than our faith.

In Matthew's Gospel, Jesus speaks directly to those fears. Again and again, He tells His followers, “Do not be afraid.” These words are not a promise that life will be free from challenges. Rather, they are a reminder that God is present in every challenge, every uncertainty, and every question we face.

As we continue our summer theme, we are invited to feel the gentle breeze of God's grace moving through our lives. The same God who knows us completely, who counts even the hairs on our heads, walks beside us through every season. We do not face life's struggles alone.

On this Father's Day Weekend, we also give thanks for those who have encouraged, guided, protected, and supported us through life's journey. Their care reminds us of God's steadfast presence and love.

Whatever fears or doubts we carry, Christ meets us with courage, comfort, and hope. The gentle breeze of God's grace continues to blow, reminding us to trust the One who is always with us.

Sunday, June 14, 2026 – The Third Sunday After Pentecost

Theme for the Day: All With God’s Grace, Thanks To A Gentle Breeze!
Season Theme: Sharing Gentle Breezes In The Grace Of Jesus Christ
Readings: Matthew 9:35-10:8

There is always more to do. More places to go. More people to see. More opportunities to serve. At times, the needs around us can feel overwhelming.

In Matthew's Gospel, Jesus looks upon the crowds with compassion and reminds His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.” Yet Jesus does not leave His followers to carry the work alone. He calls them, equips them, and sends them with everything they need.

The same is true for us. God never asks us to walk alone. Through the presence of Christ and the gentle breeze of the Holy Spirit, we are given strength for the journey, courage for the calling, and grace for each new day.

As we continue our summer theme, we are reminded that God's Spirit is constantly moving among us, refreshing, encouraging, and guiding us. There is much to do in God's kingdom, but there is also all the help we will ever need.

Sunday, June 7, 2026 – The Second Sunday After Pentecost

Theme for the Day: A Gentle Breeze, Making Us Whole!
Season Theme: Sharing Gentle Breezes In The Grace Of Jesus Christ
Readings: Hosea 5:15-6:6; Romans 4:13-25; Matthew 9:9-13, 18-26

As we continue our summer journey of Sharing Gentle Breezes In The Grace Of Jesus Christ, we are reminded that God's grace comes to us not only in dramatic moments, but also through His steady, healing presence.

In Matthew's Gospel, Jesus calls Matthew to follow Him, shares a meal with those others would reject, heals a woman who had suffered for years, and raises a young girl to new life. Again and again, Jesus brings restoration, hope, and healing wherever He goes. He reminds us that God's mercy is greater than our brokenness and that His grace continues to make us whole.

The readings from Hosea and Romans echo this same promise. God binds up what is wounded, revives what seems lost, and fulfills His promises through faith and grace. Even when life feels uncertain, God's healing touch remains near.

As we gather in worship, may we feel the gentle breeze of God's Spirit moving among us, restoring our hearts, renewing our faith, and reminding us that we are never beyond the reach of His love.

Theme for the Day: A Gentle Breeze, All, Together, Now
Season Theme: Sharing Gentle Breezes In The Grace Of Jesus Christ
Readings: Matthew 28:16-20

On this Holy Trinity Sunday, we celebrate the mystery, power, and unity of God revealed as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. In Matthew 28, Jesus sends His disciples into the world with a promise and a purpose: to go, to teach, to baptize, and to trust that He is with us always.

This is not a journey we take alone. The grace of God moves among us, within us, and through us. The Father creates and calls. The Son saves and leads. The Holy Spirit sustains and sends. Together, the fullness of God’s presence surrounds us and goes before us.

As we continue our summer theme, we are reminded that God’s Spirit often moves not only in powerful moments, but like a gentle breeze, steady and constant, drawing us together in faith, in community, and in purpose.

In Christ, we are not scattered or alone. We are gathered. Sent. Held. And moved by grace, all together, now.

Theme for the Day: Sharing Gentle Breezes In The Grace Of Jesus Christ
Season Theme Begins: Sharing Gentle Breezes In The Grace Of Jesus Christ
Readings: John 20:19-23

On this Pentecost Sunday, we celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit, poured out upon the Church with power, promise, and presence. As Scripture reminds us, the Spirit once came like a rushing wind, filling the disciples with courage, faith, and new life.

Yet the Spirit is not only found in the dramatic moments. The Holy Spirit continues to move among us each and every day, often like a gentle, refreshing breeze. Quietly. Steadily. Faithfully. Bringing peace where there is fear, hope where there is uncertainty, and life where there is weariness.

In John 20, the Risen Jesus breathes on the disciples and says, “Receive the Holy Spirit.” In that moment, we are reminded that God’s Spirit is not distant. The Spirit is near. The Spirit is alive. The Spirit is moving right here in our midst.

As we begin our summer theme and observe Memorial Day Weekend, we also pause to give thanks, to remember, and to trust that God’s presence continues to guide, comfort, and renew us.

Theme for the Day: Alive To Talk, Right Here
Season Theme: Celebrating God’s Grace Alive, Right Here, In The Risen Christ
Readings: John 17:1-11

On this Seventh Sunday of Easter, we hear a powerful and intimate moment in John’s Gospel as Jesus prays on behalf of His disciples. In this prayer, we are reminded that we are never alone. The Risen Christ continues to speak to the Father for us, lifting us up, holding us close, and guiding us in grace.

This is the gift of prayer. Not just that we talk to God, but that Jesus is already speaking on our behalf. In every moment, in every season, in every joy and challenge, we are connected to God through a living relationship rooted in grace and love.

This Sunday, we also celebrate Graduation Recognition Sunday, giving thanks for those who are marking a milestone and stepping into a new chapter. As graduates look ahead, we trust that Christ goes with them, prays for them, and remains present in every step forward.

In Christ, we are alive to talk, to pray, to trust, and to live in a relationship that is active and present, right here.

Season Theme: Celebrating God’s Grace Alive, Right Here, In The Risen Christ
Readings: John 14:15-21

On this Sixth Sunday of Easter, we hear Jesus’ promise to His disciples that they will not be left alone. As He prepares to ascend, He assures them that God will send an Advocate, The Holy Spirit, to be with them always.

In John 14, Jesus speaks words of comfort and assurance: we are not abandoned. We are not left to figure things out on our own. The Holy Spirit comes to guide, to strengthen, and to remind us of God’s presence in every moment.

This promise is what allows us to live by faith. Not a distant or uncertain faith, but a living, active faith grounded in the presence of God with us, right here.

As we observe Mother’s Day Weekend, we also give thanks for those who have nurtured faith in our lives, who have guided, encouraged, and supported us along the way. Their care reflects the presence of the One who continues to lead us in love and grace.

On this Fifth Sunday of Easter, we hear the comforting and powerful words of Jesus: “I am the way, and the truth, and the life.” In a world that often feels uncertain or unsettled, these words anchor us in a promise that is steady, personal, and full of grace.

Jesus speaks to disciples who are anxious and unsure of what lies ahead. He reminds them, and us, that we are not lost. We are not alone. In Him, we already have a place. A perfect place. Not because everything around us is perfect, but because Christ Himself is present, leading us, guiding us, and holding us in truth and life.

This Easter season continues to remind us that the Risen Christ is not distant. He is right here. Making a way where there seems to be none. Speaking truth into our lives. Giving life that is full, lasting, and secure.

In Him, we are alive in a perfect place, right here, in the grace of Jesus Christ.

On this Fourth Sunday of Easter, we hear the comforting and powerful words of Jesus as The Good Shepherd. In John 10, Jesus reminds us that He knows His sheep, calls them by name, and leads them with care, protection, and purpose.

In a world full of noise and competing voices, the voice of the Shepherd stands apart. It is a voice of truth. A voice of grace. A voice that leads us not into fear, but into life. Jesus does not drive us forward. He walks ahead of us, guiding us, calling us, and leading us right where we need to be.

This Sunday also falls on Mother’s Day, a time to give thanks for those who have nurtured, guided, and cared for us with love. As we celebrate, we remember that the love we share and receive is a reflection of the Good Shepherd’s care for each of us.

In Christ, we are not lost. We are known. We are called. We are led in power and grace, right here, each and every day.

Readings: Luke 24:13-35

On this Third Sunday of Easter, we continue to celebrate the living presence of the Risen Christ, revealed to us in powerful and unexpected ways. In Luke’s Gospel, Jesus meets the disciples on the road to Emmaus, walking with them in their confusion and uncertainty, opening the Scriptures, and finally being made known to them in the breaking of the bread.

In that moment, everything changes. Hearts burn. Eyes are opened. Hope is restored. What once felt empty is now filled to overflowing.

This is the promise of Easter. Christ comes to us right where we are, walks with us in every season, and reveals Himself in Word and at the table. In His presence, we are filled with grace, with hope, with life that overflows into the world around us.

This Sunday, we also celebrate Anniversary Sunday, giving thanks for the life and ministry of our congregation and the many ways God’s grace has been alive and active in this community through the years.
