Summer Worship with Parables: Exploring the Lord’s Prayer

This summer, we invite you to join us for a special worship series with the Parables ministry as we gather on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of June, July, and August at 11:30am. Our theme for these five Sundays will be “The Lord’s Prayer”—a beloved and powerful prayer that many know by heart, yet contains layers of meaning that can speak freshly into our daily lives.

Each gathering will center around a portion of the prayer, inviting us to reflect deeply and discover new ways of connecting with God through these timeless words.

Here’s a look at our summer schedule:

• June 8 – Pentecost Sunday
  Celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit with a joyful worship service at 11:30am, followed by a butterfly release in the courtyard—a beautiful symbol of transformation and new life.
• June 22 – “Our Mother and Father, who is in heaven, holy is your name…”
  We’ll begin our journey with the opening lines of the prayer, reflecting on the loving, inclusive nature of God and what it means to honor God’s name in our lives.
• July 13 – “Your Kin-dom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven…”
  Together we’ll explore how we can help bring God’s Kin-dom to life right here and now, through acts of justice, kindness, and courage.
• July 27 – “Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses…”
  We’ll reflect on God’s provision and grace, and how we are called to extend forgiveness and generosity to others.
• August 10 – “Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil…”
  We’ll talk about facing life’s challenges and finding strength and guidance in God’s presence.
• August 24 – “For yours is the Kin-dom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.”
  We’ll wrap up our series with a celebration of God’s eternal love and the joy of living in the promise of God’s Kin-dom.

✨ And there’s more!
On the Sundays when we don’t meet for worship, special events and gatherings will take place—fun, engaging ways to stay connected as a community. If you’d like to learn more about these events and receive updates, sign up to receive emails from the Parables group.
