Third Sunday after Pentecost and Juneteenth Celebration 2026

Join us for worship on this Third Sunday after Pentecost as we also celebrate and honor Juneteenth. Moses tells the Israelites that they are called to be a priestly kingdom and a holy people. Jesus sends out the disciples as laborers into the harvest. In baptism we too are anointed for ministry, sharing God’s compassion with our needy world. From the Lord’s table we go forth to proclaim the good news, to heal the sick, and to share our bread with the hungry. Readings and Psalm Exodus 19:2-8a The covenant with Israel at Sinai Psalm 100 We are God’s people and the sheep of God’s pasture. (Ps. 100:3) Romans 5:1-8 While we were sinners, Christ died for us Matthew 9:35—10:8 [9-23] The sending of the Twelve
