On this 6th Sunday of Easter, we hear Jesus’ uplifting message about abiding in his love, so that his joy may be within us, and our joy may be complete! Jesus calls us “friends” and reminds us that he has chosen us! Rejoicing in God’s love, we offer prayers of blessing for our moms, grandmoms & other women who have played caring roles in our lives – with prayers of remembrance for those who have passed to life in the Church Triumphant! We do many things for moms & grandmothers on Mother’s Day – but there is nothing more wonderful than worshipping the Lord with them, and sharing the most special meal of all, Holy Communion! We still have our HOPE Menu Cards & lighthouse HOPE beacons. Pick 3 items to be your 3-course “meal of hope” for God’s work in your life, as we are formed & grounded in God’s hope, equipped with God’s hoping-coping skills for life, and called to be God’s active hope-agents in the world! Each Sunday, there is also a special Hope Prayer Station, for your personal prayers of hope.
Christ Is Risen Indeed! Alleluia!
