Father’s Day is celebrated throughout the world on different days, with different histories and traditions. But the American holiday, the third Sunday of June, has its origins in the church. In 1908, Grace Golden Clayton organized the first Father’s Day celebration in a Methodist church in Fairmont, West Virginia, to memorialize men killed in a local mining disaster. Today it serves as a time to reflect on the role dads play in their children’s lives and, in many churches, the Fatherhood of God. From the Christianity Today website
A prayer for fathers from ELCA Prayer Ventures:
We pray that biological fathers, stepfathers, adoptive fathers and foster fathers will experience the daily joys of fatherhood and find support and wisdom for the challenges of parenting, passing along their faith, teaching compassion and respect, and encouraging and guiding their children. Amen.

Today, June 19, is Juneteenth, a holiday that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. It recalls how the states of Louisiana and Texas received the news that President Abraham Lincoln had signed the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863. Slavery continued in those two states for more than two years after the proclamation was signed (the Civil War didn't end in Texas until June 2). Enslaved African-Americans in Texas and Louisiana finally got the good news on June 19, 1865. Former slaves broke out in spontaneous celebration. While the word was not welcome by everyone, particularly many white former slave-holders, even in the face of resistance and threat the formerly enslaved Africans found ways to give voice to the wide range of thoughts and emotions at the announcement of the end of legalized slavery in the United States.
A couple days ago, June 17, reminds us that as many celebrate a holiday marking the end of slavery in the US, we also marked a day in which we witnessed the continuation of violence against African-Americans. In this case they were faithful Christians. with two of them graduates of one of our ELCA seminaries.
On June 17, 2015, Clementa C. Pinckney, Cynthia Marie Graham Hurd, Susie Jackson, Ethel Lee Lance, DePayne Middleton-Doctor, Tywanza Sanders, Daniel Lee Simmons, Sharonda Coleman-Singleton, and Myra Thompson were murdered by a self-professed white supremacist while they were gathered for Bible study and prayer at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church (often referred to as Mother Emanuel) in Charleston, South Carolina. Pastors Pinckney and Simmons were both graduates of the Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary. A resolution to commemorate June 17 as a day of repentance for the martyrdom of the Emanuel Nine was adopted by the Churchwide Assembly of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America on August 8, 2019.
Today is a good day to prayerfully remember the Emanuel Nine, their families, and all victims of racial violence.
Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all. Colossians 3:11

The reformer Martin Luther was a great lover of music. He composed as many as 40 hymns, including hymns pertaining to the festivals of the church year. One of these hymns was "Come, Holy Ghost, God and Lord," a hymn for the Day of Pentecost.
Luther used a Medieval Latin chant as the basis for the hymn. He believed that in its final form he was inspired by the "Holy Ghost" (Holy Spirit). Luther was well-pleased with he work, which was published in 1524.
In this composition Luther notes three great works of the Spirit. The Holy Spirit serves as unifier of the church, the teacher of believers, and instills, preserves, and invigorates faith in followers of Christ.
As we celebrate God's great gift of the Holy Spirit to the church tomorrow, the Day of Pentecost, I pray you are inspired by this words to give thanks for this great gift of God.

COME, HOLY GHOST, GOD AND LORD–words by Martin Luther
Come, Holy Ghost, God and Lord!
Be all Thy graces now outpoured
On each believer’s mind and heart;
Thy fervent love to them impart.
Lord, by the brightness of Thy light
Thou in the faith dost men unite
Of every land and every tongue;
This to Thy praise, O Lord, our God, be sung.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Thou holy Light, Guide divine,
Oh, cause the Word of Life to shine!
Teach us to know our God aright
And call Him Father with delight.
From every error keep us free;
Let none but Christ our Master be
That we in living faith abide,
In Him, our Lord, with all our might confide.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Thou holy Fire, Comfort true,
Grant us the will Thy work to do
And in Thy service to abide;
Let trials turn us not aside.
Lord, by Thy power prepare each heart
And to our weakness strength impart
That bravely here we may contend,
Through life and death to Thee, our Lord, ascend.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
