Sunday Worship: The 4th Sunday after Easter

We are in the celebration of the 40 day Easter Season. Christ is risen! This is first Sunday of the month so we will be doing Morning Prayer and have a joint potluck with Shepherd of the Valley after service.

In our Psalter Sermon Series, Pastor Shane will be preaching from Psalm 44.

To prepare for Sunday, read the Collect and Lessons.
The Collect for The Fourth Sunday after Easter.
Almighty God, you alone can order the unruly wills and passions of sinful men: grant that your people may love what you command and desire what you promise so that among the many and varied changes of this world our hearts may be firmly fixed where true joys are to be found through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Psalm: 44
OT: Exodus 34:1-10

Q21: What is true faith?
A: True faith is not only a sure knowledge by which I hold as true all that God has revealed to us in Scripture; it is also a wholehearted trust, which the Holy Spirit creates in me by the gospel, that God has freely granted, not only to others but to me also, forgiveness of sins, eternal righteousness, and salvation. These are gifts of sheer grace, granted solely by Christ’s merit.
