June We continue our journey through the season of Pentecost, which will carry us all the way to Advent at the end of November. The Pentecost season is also referred to as "Ordinary Time," since the Sundays are numbered, or "ordinal." This is a time when Christians explore, through worship, what life in the Spirit is like, what it requires of us, and what resources are available to us for faithful discipleship. During the month of June, these themes will engage us. Please read the Scripture lessons and come to worship with inquisitive minds! Worship each week is at 10:00 am. June 6th – 10th Sunday in Ordinary Time – Communion and Baptism 1 Kings 17:8-24 – "A Lifetime Supply" There are amazing offers coming our way every day. Win a lifetime supply of gasoline, or some other useful commodity. God gives a similar gift to the poor, destitute widow of Zarephath, and from this story we learn about faith and trust, abundance and sufficiency. June 13th – 11th Sunday in Ordinary Time Prelude: Adagio from Sonata III Joanna Baitinger, organist; Paul Goldsberry, violin EPIC Praise Band: Every Move I Make You're Worthy of My Praise Offertory: Ashokan Farewell Joanna Baitinger, organist; Paul Goldsberry, violin EPIC Praise Band: Here I Am to Worship Galatians 2:15-21 & Luke 7:36-8:3 – "Steppin’ Out" The story in Luke is about faith, and about taking risks. But if you were to ask this woman why she was taking such risks, she would have answered you with a look of puzzlement. She didn’t see it as risk-taking, but as doing what the Spirit led her to do. June 20th – 12th Sunday in Ordinary Time Music from the Praise Band Let Everything That Has Breath Everlasting God O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing Open the Eyes of My Heart Galatians 3:23-29 – "Put On Jesus Christ" Clothing has a way of setting us apart. We can sometimes be identified with certain groups based on what we’re wearing. Consider, for example, team uniforms, or the garb of a doctor or nurse or police officer. Paul tells us to identify ourselves with Jesus Christ. He is what we all have in common. He is our true identity. June 27th – 13th Sunday in Ordinary Time Psalm 77:1-2, 11-20 – "Sleepless in Raleigh" Probably everyone experiences a little insomnia from time to time. The mind just won’t shut down – or shut up! What to do? Count sheep? Could it be that God (an incurable insomniac) is trying to get our attention? July July 4th – 14th Sunday in Ordinary Time Guest Preacher: Rev. Susannah DeBenedetto 2 Timothy 1: 1-5; 3: 14-17 - "Teach Your Children Well"
