On this sixth Sunday of Eastertide we will observe "Mothering Sunday," a day to celebrate the divine feminine and the godly work of mothering, carried out by people (and animals!) of all genders in many different ways…from raising children, to caring for creatures and creation, to taking bold stands for justice and peace. In John 14, as Jesus bids his disciples farewell, he pleads with them to keep his commandments and promises to send the Spirit of truth to abide with them, to be near as they live in the love he has shown them. From Jesus’ words, along with Paul’s from Acts 17 about the God in whom “we live and move and have our being,” we will draw inspiration for the work of mothering. We'll make space for the grief that some carry on this day, but focus on the hope of abundant life we find in our abiding Mother God.
Jeffrey Frederic Paul will lead the ACC Choir with guest narrators Nick Crump and Susan Russell. Chieko Chambers and Linda Young will provide this week’s Offertory. Pastor Jen will lead this week’s service and Dudley Thompson will serve as Liturgist. Childcare will be available during the service for children ages 2 and up
