We celebrate The Holy Trinity. Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 13:13: "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with all of you." And in the gospel (Matthew 28:19) Jesus sends his disciples forth to baptize in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We celebrate the gracious One-in-Three, eternal Three-in-One. In the gospel Sunday (Matthew 28:19) Jesus sends his disciples forth to baptize in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Rev. Jeffrey Iacobazzi leads our service and shares his message for Holy Trinity Sunday. Charles Rader is worship assistant this week and Rosemary Rader is our music director. They lead us in the closing hymn (ELW 513) “Listen, God is Calling” - a vibrant traditional Tanzanian hymn. The lyrics that focus on Jesus’ mandate to share the good news, baptize, and seek justice. Join us as we worship each Sunday at 10:30 a.m. EDT.

Capers (who joined the Lord in January of 2025) starts our Confession of Sins with THE TRINITY (In the Name of the Father) Hymn 142 in the Augsburg Fortress "This Far by Faith" (an African American Resource for Worship).
