Scripture: Proverbs 8:1-4, 22-31
We meet a woman called Wisdom, who tells a story of creation in the book of Proverbs. In her presence at the crossroads of life, and in the creation of all things, we are invited to become wise as well: delighting in creation and humanity. In a time when we are welcoming new Mainers seeking asylum and safety, we hope to respond with wisdom and compassion.
Scriptures: Acts 2:1-21, Genesis 11:1-9
As we celebrate the new languages of the Spirit we learn from all our generations at the end of the church school year, we listen to two very different stories about language… about our desire for same-ness that can threaten to wall us in, and God’s multiplicity of language that can light our hearts and imaginations aflame.
Scripture: John 17:20-26
Jesus prays for his disciples (and those who will come after them) to be one, so we ponder, in an age where “thoughts and prayers” can become code for easy well-wishes, what it means to pray… and what it means to be one.
