May 3 | Fifth Sunday of Easter

As we continue to celebrate the fifty days of Easter, the gospel story this week includes Jesus’ promise that he goes to prepare a place in his Father’s house. We are called to share Jesus’ mission in the world. We are called to proclaim the one who called us out of the shadows into the fullness of light. In words and deeds or service, healing, and justice-making we bear witness to the risen Christ—who is our way, and truth, and life. Today we welcome new members to this congregation community. Christ is risen indeed! Alleluia!
