Please join us for worship On Sunday, June 14, as we observe the Third Sunday After Pentecost. We will have one service of Holy Communion with Holy Baptism at 9am. We will welcome Noah Schafer to our fellowship as he has asked to be baptized. We will also recognize Kathy Sigley and David Ruhf on their achieving 25 years of service to our parish. A celebration will follow the service. Please see below for details.
In Sunday’s readings, Moses tells the Israelites that they are called to be a priestly kingdom and a holy people. Jesus sends out the disciples as laborers into the harvest. In baptism we too are anointed for ministry, sharing God’s compassion with our needy world. From the Lord’s table we go forth to proclaim the good news, to heal the sick, and to share our bread with the hungry.
Follow this link to the online bulletin if you’re joining us for the 9am Livestream.

Special thanks to Kim, Randy, and Amanda Setzer for coordinating and bringing the berries in!
