Pastor's Pondering
Pastor’s Ponderings for Sunday May 12, 2024
Our assigned texts for this Sunday are:
Take your time reading this week’s John text. It’s confusing. It’s long. It makes you wonder what Jesus is saying at times. Nevertheless, this our last week of Eastertide before Pentecost. In this we read, really the final, prayer that Jesus had for his disciples. He voices his concerns for them and his hopes as well. Jesus asks for them to step into a place of connectedness (much of what Pr Renee preached last week) but also a hope that they would not be of this world but rather dwell in it. This week we will find ourselves asking the question, what does being the in the world and not of the world actually mean for us? Join us on Sunday as we unpack this.
Found with you, in Christ,
PB
