Prayer
Almighty and most merciful God, we remember before you all poor and neglected persons whom it would be easy for us to forget: the homeless and the destitute, the old and the sick, and all who have none to care for them. Help us to heal those who are broken in body or spirit, and to turn their sorrow into joy. Grant this, Father, for the love of your Son, who for our sake became poor, Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN.

SUNDAY FORMATION
Whisper: How to Hear the Voice of God
June 4–July 30 | 10 a.m. | Saint Michael Chapel
Led by Dr. Tim Smith
We are focusing on the ways God speaks in our lives and how we can tune in. If there was one thing that defined the Apostles and the first century church, it’s that everything they did was guided and empowered by the Holy Spirit. As we enter the season of Pentecost, we’re going to look at the ways the Holy Spirit speaks and how we can better hear the voice and wisdom of God for our lives and for our church.
SUNDAY FORMATION: CLASS FOR PARENTS
Grace: Chosen to a Guaranteed Place in the Family
Now–June 18 | 10 a.m. | Theater

Join us for this seven-week study as we talk about what grace means in our lives today.
