Affirmed: Sixth Sunday of Easter

In this Easter season we are reminded that Christ abides in us and we are not alone. On this day we will reflect on the ways God breaks all of our rules to make sure our belovedness is included. God affirms all of who we are – not what is worth something in the wider culture. In Christ we are beloved. We are accepted. We are affirmed. May we continue with God’s help to build a beloved community around these same values of dignity, belonging and purpose of others. 

Accompanying Scripture:
Isaiah 56:1-8, Psalm 108, John 14:15-21
