Gratitude for all God has done for us and for Jesus’ gift of Himself must lead to action

Gospel: Mark 14: 12–16, 22–26
Take it, this is my body. This is my blood of the new covenant, which will be shed for many

The Triune God is always with us. We have been commissioned by Jesus to evangelize.

Gospel: Matthew 28: 16–20
I am with you always.

When we say we believe in God, we are really saying we believe in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit—the Trinity. And without this there is no Christian faith.

The Spirit of God is always with every one of us

Gospel: John 20: 19–23
He breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.”

We are very familiar with the Acts account of the coming of the Spirit. We describe it as the day the church was born. Pentecost is our yearly reminder of who we are as a people and the gift God has given us and continues to give us so that we can complete the work of making us a church.
