Graduations are milestones that mark the faithfulness of the Lord in the lives of His children. We thank our heavenly Father for bringing our High School seniors to this point of formal education. We ask God for wisdom and guidance for this graduating class as they makes decisions about their life so that they may take ownership of their faith and grow in the life and mission of the church.
As We Gather
Today we recall the Feast of Pentecost, fifty days after our Lord’s resurrection. In God’s wisdom, this is one of the feasts all were required to attend in Jerusalem. In this way God provided for the largest gathering from the farthest reaches where His people lived in order to discover what Pentecost was really all about. Today with the lavish outpouring of God Himself, the Holy Spirit, “the Lord and giver of life,” would proclaim the glory of salvation and eternal life through Jesus, the Son of God.
So today we hear the Word of God spoken to us in our own language, that powerful, mighty Word through which the Holy Spirit creates and strengthens the gift of saving faith in us. This faith is like living water flowing through our entire being bringing the refreshment of the forgiveness of all of our sins and a new and godly purpose for the living of our days. The water Jesus gives is the true water of life.

Stewardship
Acts 2:1 - “When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place.” Pentecost is the Old Testament harvest festival - it happens around the time when the wheat and oats are ready to be brought in. Of course, this was a picture and foreshadowing of the great harvest of humankind that God means to bring in through the preaching of His Word. God gives the seed, and God brings about the harvest. From first to last, in things temporal and things eternal, we stand only by His grace.
Children Sunday School
Still no Sunday School because of the pandemic apocalypse. 
We are planning on a return to Sunday School for June 2nd. We have missed you and are looking forward to meeting with you again.
Teachers, you will need to get their lesson plans and materials.
Life Quotes
“There are no clues we can assemble, no plot we can reason out, to understand how our great God is the thrice holy Three in One. We can only confess as we do in the creeds: ‘I believe.’ The Triune God who exists apart from time acted in time and history in Christ to save us. For that mystery we will give thanks and praise to our Triune God for all eternity, joining the saints and angels in endless praise: ‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!’ (Revelation 4:8b).” Dr. Carol Geisler - A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life • www.lutheransforlife.org
