Sunday Morning, May 12, 2013 Scripture Reading: John 17:20-26
The text from John carries the theme, “that all may be one.” This theme is also the motto of the United Church of Christ, reflecting the spirit of unity on which the church is based and points toward future efforts to heal the divisions in the body of Christ. We are a uniting church as well as a united church. This Sunday we will dedicate the prayer shawls and synod scarves that have been so generously knitted and crocheted by members of the congregation. It is also Mother’s Day. Mother’s Day is a joyous day for some, and a challenging day for others. Through our time of worship, it is my hope that we recognize the divisions, celebrate the joys, and continue to work together to understand that no one stands alone. In the text, Jesus tries to connect God to the people, through him. “To them I have revealed Your Name, and I will continue to reveal it so that the love You have for me may live in them, just as I may live in them.” Our emotions are difficult to separate from our everyday lives. How might we be able to accept the love given to each of us, so that we might know God’s presence in our daily lives, no matter what emotion visits us today? ~ Eldonna Hazen
