The Great Fifty Days of Easter — Series Overview

Fourth Sunday of Easter, Year A

As we consider what it means to awaken to baptism, consider that baptism is not a singular event for any of us. Baptism is a way of life.

​Offertory Prayer

Dear Lord, our God, you guide us as a loving shepherd. In your presence, our spirits are renewed. In your wisdom, we discover peace. In fellowship together, we find ways to share your good news with others. As we enjoy your blessings, help us to give from our abundance with glad and generous hearts. We dedicate these tithes and offerings in the name of Jesus, the Good Shepherd who laid down his life for his flock. Amen. (Psalm 23; Acts 2:42-47)
