Today is Pentecost.

O God, on this day you open the hearts of your faithful people by sending into us your Holy Spirit. Direct us by the light of that Spirit, that we may have a right judgment in all things and rejoice at all times in your peace, through Jesus Christ, your Son and our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. —Bread for the Day

Presiding Bishop Yehiel Curry has released a statement on the shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego.

“As the ELCA, we must speak plainly: violence rooted in hatred is sin. We condemn Islamophobia and acknowledge its rise in recent years. Our church affirms that “anti-Muslim hatred is antithetical to our Christian faith” (A Declaration of the ELCA to the Muslim Community), for we are called to love our neighbor in ways that cast out fear (1 John 4:18).”

They are trying it again, my friends. I did not text you. There are scammers trying to get you to do something. Please, if you get any message or text purporting to be me, check it before doing anything else.

Please report the texts and delete them.

Not this Sunday, but next Sunday (5/17) we will be singing a new hymn, "May the God of Hope Go with Us." Here is one version of that hymn so that you can listen in and catch the earworm of joy and be ready to join in with singing and percussion when the time comes. Pink rose with cajone for interest.
