God is the source of our nourishment. Jesus’ invitation to “take and eat . . . take and drink” is a repeated one. In holy communion, in the word read and proclaimed, in the assembly of the people of God, the dominion of God has come near. Rejoice! Your name is written in heaven.

We have no good apart from God. That makes Jesus’ call to follow him an invitation to freedom. This is freedom to revel in the Spirit’s fruit: love, joy, peace, and patience. This is freedom to not be imprisoned by anything that would keep us from the fullness of the life God has given us. This is the path of life.

June is a significant month for important social emphases in our country. Yesterday was National Indigenous Peoples Day and this whole month is Pride Month. We will recognize these two emphases in our worship today. And what a stroke of luck that our gospel and our second reading speak to us of God’s will for human community, with a little exorcism thrown in for drama! Because it turns out there’s a few demons standing in the way of that community becoming a reality.

A Sunday like Holy Trinity that focusses on a theological doctrine maybe makes us think about truth. But to quote a famous Bible bad guy, “What is truth?” Is it eternal, written in stone, unchanging, and immutable? Or is it more dynamic, nimble, and responsive to our changing lives than that? We go back to hear Jesus’s last words to his disciples as he gives them one last lesson in the life of the Spirit of truth.

We are celebrating Pentecost Sunday in good Holy Spirit fashion by gathering with our friends from St Laurence Anglican Church for a joint service. You can find the service live-streamed and recorded on their website which is saintlaurence.ca We will reflect together on how life with God is as natural as breathing, despite its challenges and struggles.
Up, up, and away! That’s usually what we think the story of Christ’s Ascension is all about. And in a sense it is. But it’s also a story that points us in some other directions. It asks us to look down and take notice of the place where we are planted. It asked us to look around at those with whom we share that place. And it points us forward to where God is calling us to go. Maybe it even asks us to look behind us to consider what exactly propels us forward on this journey of faith we’re on.

What’s the one thing that gets in the way of you receiving new life and following Christ’s call? Maybe it isn’t just one thing. Our readings today give us a few options. And draw us back to the truth at the heart of this Easter season. We are a resurrection people. So what does that mean for life in a world as crazy as ours is right now?

Good Shepherd’s annual Yard Sale is happening this Saturday from 9am to 2pm! The sale is always a great opportunity to interact with the community and help raise money for some worthy causes. We appreciate any help you can provide.
Praise the Lord! It’s a phrase that rolls off our tongue as Christians easily and (usually) joyfully. But is the tongue the only part of our body that is involved in giving praise? And is church the only place where praise is appropriate? And can praise even, at times, make us uncomfortable? Maybe there’s more to that pious little phrase than we realize, as our readings today teach us.
