CamperFAQS

I wonder sometimes if we ever give God a headache.

March 29th- Sunday of the Passion/Palm Sunday , Year A

Processional Gospel - Matthew 21:1-11

Readings - Isaiah 50:4-9a, Psalm - 31:9-16

Second Reading - Philippians 2:5-11, Gospel - Matthew 26:14-27:66

Today, we encounter the paradox that defines our faith: Jesus Christ is glorified king and humiliated servant. We too are full of paradox: like Peter, we fervently desire to follow Christ, but find ourselves afraid, denying God. We wave palms in celebration today as Christ comes into our midst, and we follow with trepidation as his path leads to death on the cross. Amid it all we are invited into this paradoxical promise of life through Christ’s broken body and outpoured love in a meal of bread and wine. We begin this week that stands at the center of the church year, anticipating the completion of God’s astounding work.

April 2nd -Maundy Thursday, Year A

Readings - Exodus 12:1-4(5-10) 11-14 , Psalm 116:1-2, 12-19

Second Reading - 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 , Gospel - John 13:1-17, 31b-35

This evening our Lenten observance comes to an end, and we gather with Christians around the world to celebrate the Three Days of Jesus’ death and resurrection. Tonight we remember Christ’s last meal with his disciples, but the central focus is his commandment that we live out the promise embodied in this meal. As Jesus washed his disciples’ feet, so we are called to give and receive love in humble service to one another. Formed into a new body in Christ through this holy meal, we are transformed by the mercy we have received and carry it into the world. Departing worship in solemn silence, we anticipate the coming days.

April 3rd-Good Friday, Year A

Readings - Isaiah 52:13-53:12 , Psalm 22

Second Reading - Hebrews 10:16-25 , Gospel - John 18:1-19:42

Life and death stand side by side as we enter into Good Friday. In John’s passion account, Jesus reveals the power and glory of God, even as he is put on trial and sentenced to death. Standing with the disciples at the foot of the cross, we pray for the whole world in the ancient bidding prayer, as Christ’s death offers life to all. We gather in solemn devotion, but always with the promise that the tree around which we assemble is indeed a tree of life. We depart silently, and we anticipate the culmination of the Three Days in the Easter Vigil.

April 4th- Easter Vigil, Year A

First Reading - Genesis 22:1-8 , There are 12 Readings and Responses

Second Reading - , Gospel - John20:1-18

This is the night of salvation! At the Vigil of Easter, we gather around fire, word, water, bread, and wine, proclaiming through story and song that ours is a God who continuously brings life out of death. On this night we experience again the heart of God’s baptismal promise and the center of our faith: we are claimed and cleansed, renewed in the death and resurrection of Christ. We gather with all the saints of every time and place to celebrate the good news: Christ is risen indeed! Alleluia!

God’s Work. Our Hands. God’s World. Our Neighborhood. All are Welcome. Come Share the Spirit

April 5th-Resurrection of Our Lord: Easter Day , Year A

Readings - Acts 10:34-43 , Psalm 118:1-2, 14-24

Second Reading - Colossians 3:1-4, Gospel - Matthew 28:1-10

This is the day the Lord has made! Christ is risen, and through him all creation is made new! Indeed, “God shows no partiality” (Acts 10:34): Christ’s resurrection truly brings life to everyone. We sing hymns of praise, gather around sacred words, and proclaim God’s faithfulness, power, and love in the feast of holy communion. With the women at the tomb, we are astonished, elated, and grateful. We depart with joy to proclaim the good news of God’s endless love.

April 12th - Second Sunday of Easter , Year A

Readings - Acts 2:14a-22-32 , Psalm - 16

Second Reading - 1 Peter 1:3-9 , Gospel - John 20:19-31

In today’s gospel the risen Christ appears to the disciples and offers them the gift of peace. Even amid doubts and questions, we experience the resurrection in our Sunday gathering around word and meal, and in our everyday lives. Throughout the coming Sundays of Easter the first two readings will be from the Acts of the Apostles and the first letter of Peter. Even as the early Christians proclaimed the resurrection, we rejoice in the new birth and living hope we receive in baptism.

April 19th -‍ ‍Third Sunday of Easter, Year A

Readings - Acts 2:14a,36-41 , Psalm 116: 1-4, 12-19

Second Reading - 1Peter 1:17-23 , Gospel - Luke 24:13-35

Today’s gospel begins with two disciples walking to Emmaus, overcome with sadness, loss, and disappointment. They had hoped Jesus, who was crucified, would be the one to redeem Israel! Yet the risen Christ walks with them and then opens their eyes in the breaking of the bread. Each Sunday our hearts burn within us as the scriptures are proclaimed and Christ appears to us as bread is broken and wine is poured. The story of Emmaus becomes the pattern of our worship each Lord’s day.

April 26th- Fourth Sunday of Easter, Year A

First Reading - Acts 2:42-47 , Psalm 23

Second Reading - 1 Peter 2:19-25, Gospel - John 10:1-10

Today is sometimes called “Good Shepherd Sunday.” Jesus is called the “gate” of the sheep in today’s gospel. The risen Christ opens the way to abundant life. He anoints our heads with oil and guides us beside the still waters of our baptism. Each Sunday he spreads a feast before us amid the world’s violence and war. We go forth to be signs of the resurrection and extend God’s tender care to all creation.
