Gathering in the Spirit

 

Welcome to our worship service either online or in printed form.

 
This Sunday, the last Sunday of Easter falls between Ascension Thursday which was on May 14 and Pentecost which will be next Sunday, May 24 so our service today is a time when Jesus has departed, the Spirit has not yet come, and the community is left waiting. It is also a time when the church reflects on Christ’s prayer for unity, the call to remain steadfast in faith, and the anticipation of the Spirit’s coming. 

Life and Work of the Church may be found at the end of the service.

 

Our Blessings & Birthdays for this week are:

Lighting of the Christ Candle

 
L. As we gather on this Seventh Sunday of Easter, we re-member that though Jesus has ascended to the Father, He has not left us alone.
He is the Light that no darkness can overcome, the One who prays for us, and the One who sends us into the world with His love.

(Light the Christ candle.)

L. We light this Christ candle to remind us:
Christ is here. Christ is with us. Christ is for us.

 

P. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

 

L.  Risen and ascended Lord, as this flame burns before us,
may Your light burn within us. Unite us in Your truth, fill us with Your joy, and send us to bear witness to Your love until the day we see You face to face.

 

P. Amen.

 

*Introit:  VU # 175  This Is the Day That God Has Made
 
 This Is the Day That God Has Made!
Rejoice! Rejoice, and be exceeding glad!
This is the day that God has made!
Rejoice! Rejoice! Hallelujah!

 

 

*Call to Worship 

 

L: Come, people of God, for Christ has prayed for us
that we may be one, even as He and the Father are one.

 

P: We come to worship the One who unites us in love.

 

L: In a world of division and uncertainty, we gather to be reminded of God’s steadfast presence.

 

P: We come to be strengthened by the Spirit, to live as witnesses of hope and truth.

 

L: Lift up your hearts, for the risen Lord is among us,
interceding for His people and sending us into the world.

 

P: We lift them up to the Lord, ready to follow where He leads.

*Opening Hymn VU # 661 Come to My Heart

1  Come to my heart, Lord Jesus;
teach me to walk in your way.
Come to my heart, Lord Jesus;
come to my heart today.

Give me the peace and joy
that only you can bring.
Come to my heart, Lord Jesus;
give me a song to sing.

 

2  Fill me with love, Lord Jesus;
teach me to walk in your way.
Fill me with love, Lord Jesus;
fill me with love today.

Give me the peace and joy
that only you can bring.
Fill me with love, Lord Jesus;

3  Answer my prayer, Lord Jesus;
teach me to walk in your way.
Answer my prayer, Lord Jesus;
answer my prayer today.

Give me the peace and joy
that only you can bring.
Answer my prayer, Lord Jesus;
give me a song to sing.

Opening Prayer 

 

Gracious and Everlasting God, on this Seventh Sunday of Easter, we gather as Your people, wait-ing in hope and trusting in Your promises. Just as the disciples waited in the upper room, united in prayer, we too come together seeking Your Spirit, longing for Your guidance, and resting in the as-surance of Christ’s victory.
Lord Jesus, You prayed for us that we may be one, just as You are one with the Father.
Bind us together in love, strengthen our faith, and open our hearts to Your truth.
In our waiting, teach us patience; in our trials, grant us courage; and in our worship, fill us with joy.
Renew our minds, ignite our hearts, and send us forth as witnesses of Your grace to the ends of the earth.
We offer this prayer in the name of Jesus Christ, our risen and ascended Lord.
Amen.

Invitation to Confession  

Friends, on the eve of His suffering, Jesus prayed for our unity that we would live in love, walk in truth, and share His joy.
Still, we know how often we fall short. Let us come before the God who welcomes us with open arms, first confessing our sins in silence and then together so that we may receive the grace that restores us.

 

Prayer of Confession  

 

Holy God, You have called us to be one body in Christ, yet we confess that we have allowed divi-sion to grow among us.
You prayed that we would be united in love,
but we have clung to pride, prejudice, and self-interest.
You have sent us into the world to bear witness to Your truth, yet we have been silent when we should have spoken, and spoken carelessly when we should have been gentle.
You have given us the joy of Your presence,
yet we have sought satisfaction in lesser things.
Forgive us, Lord. Renew in us the mind of Christ,
that we may love as You love, serve as You serve,
and live as people who belong to You. In the name of Jesus, our risen and ascended Lord, we pray.  Amen.

 

Words of Assurance

L. Hear the good news: Christ intercedes for us at the right hand of God. In Him, we are forgiven, restored, and made whole.

 

P.   Thanks be to God.

Video:  He Ascended in Glory

From the cross to the grave then the stone rolled away
He walked out in power alive on that day
For forty days more He taught us to see
The kingdom of Heaven and what we could be.

 

He ascended in glory the skies open wide
Lifted in splendor now seated on high no longer we fear 
For his promise is near He lives and He reigns
Forever He’s here

 

Oh the clouds took Him up but our hearts hold Him close
The Saviour who loves us and knows what we face
He sent us His spirit His fire and breath
To walk in His power through life and through death.

 

He ascended in glory  the skies open wide
Lifted in splendor now seated on high no longer we fear 
For his promise is near He lives and He reigns
Forever He’s here Oh forever He’s here.

 

Now we are His witnesses sent in His name
To carry the light to burn with His flame
The world needs His truth, His hope and His grace
So we go with His power and run in His pace.

 

One day He’ll return in the clouds jut the same
And every knee bow at the sound of His name
The risen ascended victorious King to Him 
All creation will worship and sing

 

He ascended in glory Oh  the skies open wide
Lifted in splendor now seated on high no longer we fear 
For his promise is near He lives and He reigns
Forever He’s near Forever He’s here 
Forever He’s near Our Saviour our King forever He reigns

 

Listening for the Spirit

Scripture Readings:

 

Acts 1:6-14

 

This passage in Acts marks a pivotal moment in the early Christian community.  Here, Jesus ascends to heaven, and the apostles are left with a mission and promise. 
 Just before Jesus ascended, the apostles asked him if He would restore the kingdom to Israel at this time.  (This reflects a common expectation among Jews of the period for a political and national restoration.)
  Jesus redirected their expectation, emphasizing that the timing of God’s actions is not for them to know.  This teaches us about the importance of trusting God’s timing.  We often want immediate answers and solutions, but sometimes, we are called to wait and trust.
After the ascension, the disciples gathered together in the upper room.  They waited and prayed together, united in their faith and devotion to Jesus, forming a close-knit community of believers.

 

Acts 1:6-14

 

The Ascension of Jesus

So when they had come together, they asked him, ‘Lord, is this the time when you will restore the king-dom to Israel?’ He replied, ‘It is not for you to know the times or periods that the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witness-es in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.’ When he had said this, as they were watching, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. While he was going and they were gazing up towards heaven, suddenly two men in white robes stood by them. They said, ‘Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up towards heaven? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.’
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a sabbath day’s journey away. When they had entered the city, they went to the room upstairs where they were staying, Pe-ter, and John, and James, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James. All these were constantly devoting them-selves to prayer, together with certain women, includ-ing Mary the mother of Jesus, as well as his brothers.

Psalm 68: 3-10, 32-35

This psalm celebrates God’s power and majesty, emphasizing His victory over enemies and His care for the vulnerable.  The psalm begins with a call for God to arise and scatter His enemies, symbolizing God’s protection.  It recounts God’s past acts of salvation, such as caring for widows and orphans, and invites all nations to join in praising Him.  The concluding verses express a triumphal procession of God, highlighting His might and the joy of His people in His presence.

 

Psalm 68: 3-10, 32-35

 

L. Arise, O God, and let your enemies be scattered; let those who hate you flee before you.

 

P. Like drifting smoke disperse them; like wax melting in the fire, let the wicked perish at your presence, O God.

 

L. But let the righteous be glad and exult before you; let them rejoice with exceeding joy.

 

P.  Sing praises to God’s holy name; make a highway for the One who rides the clouds; be joyful and exult in God’s presence.

 

Refrain:
God, in your goodness, you have made a home for the poor.

L. Guardian of orphans, protector of widows, O God, in your holy dwelling,

 

P. you give the lonely a home in which to live; you lead the prisoners out to prosperity; but the rebels must live in a wasteland.

 

L. When you went out at the head of your people, when you marched through the wilderness, 

 

P. the earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain before you, God of Sinai, God of Israel.

 

L. You send down a generous rain; you refreshed your heritage when it languished.

 

P.  There your people found a home, which in your goodness you provided for the poor.

Refrain:
God, in your goodness, you have made a home for the poor.

 

L.  Sing to God, dominions of the earth; praise the One who has dominion, 

 

P.  the one who rides through the heavens, even the primal heavens, the One whose voice is the mighty thunder.

 

L.  Acknowledge the power that is God’s whose majesty is over Israel, whose strength is in the skies.

 

P.  You are awesome, O God, as you leave your sanctuary, bringing power and strength to your people.

 

L.  Blessed are you, God of Israel.

P.  Blessed are you.

 
Refrain:
God, in your goodness, you have made a home for the poor.

 Response to Psalm
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen

 

Gospel Reading:  John 17:1-11

In this reading, we find Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane with his disciples.  As Jesus prepares for the ultimate sacrifice, he lifts his eyes to heaven and begins to pray.  His words are filled with love and concern for his disciples, asking God to protect them, keep them united in faith and to give those who believe in God eternal life.
Jesus emphasizes the importance of unity among believers.  He prays to God, asking that all those who believe in Him may be united as one.  It is a call for harmony, oneness, and solidarity within the community of faith.  He understands  that unity is crucial for the effectiveness of the Church in spreading God’s message of love and salvation.  Jesus also asks for God’s glory to be revealed.

Gospel Reading:  John 17:1-11

After Jesus had spoken these words, he looked up to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son so that the Son may glorify you, since you have given him authority over all people, to give eter-nal life to all whom you have given him. And this is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. I glorified you on earth by finishing the work that you gave me to do. So now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had in your presence before the world existed.
“I have made your name known to those whom you gave me from the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. Now they know that everything you have given me is from you; for the words that you gave to me I have given to them, and they have received them and know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me. I am asking on their behalf; I am not asking on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those whom you gave me, because they are yours. All mine are yours, and yours are mine; and I have been glorified in them.
And now I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, pro-tect them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one, as we are one.

The Word of the Lord
Thanks be to God

Message:  How will we know eternal life?   

Inspired by possibly Rev. Dr. Jay Moses of St. Mark’s Presbyterian Church,
On this last Sunday of the Easter season, we look both backwards and forwards. We have heard about Jesus’ post-resurrection appearances to his disciples; we have gloried in his ascension to heaven; we have received hints of the coming Spirit. Next week we will celebrate the birth of the new church, going forth in mission with the gifts of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost. 
This time for the disciples is a mix of fear and possibility. As they head off into the unknown, life without Jesus, their leader who has challenged and nurtured them, there is much to be afraid of and much to be excited about. But today, we pause. We pause for a moment to hear the prayer Jesus prayed for his disciples, the prayer we claim as his prayer for us. Jesus’ final words are a prayer for himself and a prayer for us, for his disciples. This is a prayer that the disciples actually overhear, rather than falling asleep in the garden or running away. This prayer tells us so much about who God is in Jesus Christ.
 Jesus prays for God’s presence in the world for us, he prays for us to know each other and know God as he knows us and knows God. This is his definition of eternal life. And it’s a different definition of eternal life than what we are used to. Eternal life is not postponed, it’s here and now. 
We have always been asking the question throughout history: what can I do to get eternal life? People asked Jesus that question all through his ministry and here in John he offers an answer. But it doesn’t look like the answer we expect or the answers we often give each other. Here is another example of where God’s ideas are very different from our ideas. Throughout history, eternal life has most often been defined by a full subscription to a certain set of values or orthodoxy, following a set of rules or doing prescribed things. And yes, Jesus does set out some parameters, but they are all about relationships. And this is eternal life, he says, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. Eternal life is knowing God and knowing one another… that we may be one, as God and Christ are one. 
So, what does it mean to know God?  
Knowing God is an experience that draws us into a new reality in which the new order will be shaped eternally by God’s vision for love and justice and service. And that reality can be realized in relationships and communities right now. 
Knowing God will be evident in our obedience to love, the singular commandment of this Gospel. Jesus tells his disciples this is my commandment; you should love one another as I have loved you. In other words, eternal life has deeply ethical implications for our present time. 
Rev. Dr. Jay Moses in his sermon, says: “It’s around “eternal life” that we tend to set the most boundaries about who is in and who is out. We feel like we can point to someone and say with certainty, you will not inherit eternal life. Now I know that may not seem like something mainline Christians do that often, but I can’t help but think of the people and times that I have thought: that person is totally unhinged and in no way are they capable of redemption. There are people in the world, people in our communities, heck probably even people in our families whom we look at and think: that person is lost and gone forever, no way that God can redeem them from the hole they have dug for themselves.” Pastor Jay goes on to say, “But who are we to make that distinction? Jesus shows us that God is always drawing us toward a relationship with God, and who am I to define that relationship or set limits around the possibilities of what God can do in a person?”
 The lectionary for today stopped at verse 11, but if we go on to read verse 12, we hear about the “one who got away,” the one who abandoned Jesus. As he finishes his prayer, Jesus says “I guarded them, and not one of them was lost, except the one destined to be lost, so that the scripture might be fulfilled.” We might have a few ideas about who “the one” is, but Jesus never tells us. It’s not up to us to decide who gets eternal life. 
I wonder how would the original hearers of John’s gospel receive this idea of loving others as Jesus loved them? Those original hearers most likely would have had very different ideas than what we do today since, in most ways, we live in a very different time than the disciples in John’s gospel. We cannot fully understand their choices and actions because most of us Western Christians do not know what it is like to be a persecuted minority, unlike our brothers and sisters in Egypt who are consistently under attack for one reason or another. Jesus’ call for unity reminds us that we are ONE with them and we must work against intolerance and hatred, wherever we see it lived out. In our nation, we are the ones with the power, and we have to be careful about where we draw the lines. Because drawing the lines is not our job, our job is to erase them. At a time when divisions of so many kinds threaten our nation and our world, Jesus’ prayer that we may be one can be hard to believe that it could really happen. 
This week we have been seeing two people who grew up in Port aux Basques, Joey Matthews and Amanda Burton, being chosen to play parts in the world known musical ‘Come From Away’.  This brought back memories of the real Come From Away event and the terror that was involved. Yet, in the wake of that terror, there were also displays of unity. In that little town of Gander and surrounding areas, as well as Stephenville, people came together as one letting those who were stranded at the airports know that they were being offered spare bedrooms, food, counselling, etc.  
This is certainly an example of when Jesus told the people what eternal life is- it is unity with God and with each other. Unity isn’t brought about by us, it is brought about by God. If you have not seen this musical, I strongly encourage you to do so- you will leave knowing just what Jesus means in unity with God and with each other. 
 God in Jesus tells us that unity IS God’s intention for the world. And not just in some far off place, but right here and right now. Jesus’ prayer shows us who God is. When Jesus prays for us, he does so out of love and care, and a desire for us to be one. We have another wonderful example of this so very close to us- our own community of faith here at Wesley United.  We are one family and we do love God and each other.  We are here for each of us whether it is in celebrations or challenging times. That is why we have our Blessing Time and the time for individual prayers during Prayers of the People. We know we can come here to be with family who understands Jesus’ prayers of unity. 
 As the story of Jesus in John’s gospel comes to a close, and we look toward the stories of the early church in Acts, let’s remember the beginning: In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. Jesus is the visual picture we have of God. God has spoken a word into the world: a word of unity, of life, of love.  Thank you God for Jesus and for the love which we share with each other.
Thanks be to God

Responding to the Spirit

 

Prayers of the People 

God of grace and glory, You have called us to be your people in this time and place. We come before you in prayer, trusting that you hear us, and that your Spirit intercedes deep within our hearts.
God of Spirit, we pray for your Church throughout the world—for congregations meeting in sanctuaries, in homes, and online; for ministers, elders, and lay leaders; for all who seek to follow the way of Jesus. Unite us in your truth, keep us steadfast in your love, and send us out as witnesses to your hope.
God of Wisdom, we pray for the nations of the earth, for leaders and decision-makers, for those who work for peace and justice. Where there is conflict, bring reconciliation. Where there is oppression, bring liberation. Where there is despair, bring courage and vision.
God of creation, we give thanks for the beauty of the earth—for oceans and rivers, forests and fields, for the creatures with whom we share this planet. Forgive us for the ways we have harmed your creation. Guide us to live gently, to protect what you have entrusted to our care, and to work for the healing of the earth.
God of Compassion, we remember those who are ill in body, mind, or spirit; those who are lonely or griev-ing; those who are hungry, homeless, or without work. We pray especially for those we name now, aloud or in silence____________ .  We ask for you to surround these people with your comfort, strengthen them with your presence, and bring them your peace.
God of hope, in this season between Ascension and Pentecost, teach us to wait with hope, to pray with persistence, and to trust in your timing. Help us to live as people of resurrection, sharing your love in all we do.
God of all, we offer these prayers, and the unspoken prayers of our hearts in the name of Jesus Christ,
who prays for us and with us, and who taught us to say together: Our Father, who art in heaven, hal-lowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen

 

M & S Story

The Work of Water

In the villages of Amam and Madalipey in the Philippines, Indigenous families depend on small-scale vegetable farming to support their households. The gardens they tend provide food and a modest income for daily needs.
But over time, the land has changed. As agriculture has expanded, parts of the surrounding forest have been cleared, reducing the land’s ability to hold water. The impacts of climate change have made rainfall patterns less predictable, and dry reasons run longer. For much of the year, local creeks are dry, and water must be brought in from elsewhere. It’s a constant challenge that affects both daily life and the ability to grow crops.
In response, the Cordillera People’s Alliance is working alongside residents to install a solar-powered water pump and storage tank. The system will be maintained locally, ensuring that the community has access to wa-ter and ownership of the solution.
With a more stable source of water for both household use and gardens, families can strengthen their livelihoods. Gardens can grow more reliably, daily needs become easier to meet, and pressure on households eases.
When we give through Mission and Service, our gifts are powering long-term support. 
Our gifts to Mission and Service help provide stable access to water for Indigenous communities like Amam and Madalipey. They help sustain life, strengthen food security, and support families as they work toward a more secure future.
Make your gift to Mission and Service today.

 

Offering Invitation 

 

Friends in Christ, on this day, we remember Jesus’ prayer for His disciples — that they may be one, united in love and truth. As we bring our gifts, we join in that prayer, offering not only our resources but also our hearts, so that God’s work of unity, healing, and hope may flourish in our world.
Let us now present our gifts, trusting that what we place in God’s hands will be multiplied for the blessing of many.

 

*Offertory Hymn MV # 191  What Can I Do?
What can I do?  What can I bring?
What can I say?  What can I sing?
I’ll sing with joy.  I’ll say a prayer.
I’ll bring my love.  I’ll do my share.  (twice)

*Offertory Prayer 

Gracious God, as we present our gifts to Your table, we remember Jesus’ prayer that we may be one. Use what we offer—our resources, our time, our hearts—to bring hope to the weary, light to the lost, and love to the world.
Bless these offerings and bless us, that we may serve You faithfully until Your promises are fulfilled in Christ. Amen

*Closing Hymn:  VU # 586  We Shall Go Out with Hope of Resurrection

 

1  We shall go out with hope of resurrection;
we shall go out, from strength to strength to go on;
we shall go out, and tell our stories boldly;
tales of a love that will not let us go.
We’ll sing our songs of wrongs that can be righted;
we’ll dream our dreams of hurts that can be healed;
we’ll weave a cloth of all the world united
 within the vision of new life in Christ.

 

2  We’ll give a voice to those who have not spoken;
we’ll find the words for those whose lips are sealed;
we’ll make the tunes for those who sing no longer,
expressive love alive in every heart.
We’ll share our joy with those who still are weeping,
raise hymns of strength for hearts that break in grief,
we’ll leap and dance the resurrection story,
including all in circles of our love.

*Benediction & Commissioning 

Let us now go forth in Jesus’name, remembering his new commandment to love one another, just as he has loved us.  Amen

*Sung Benediction: VU  #424 May the God of Hope Go with Us

May the God of hope go with us every day,
filling all our lives with love and joy and peace.
May the God of justice speed us on our way,
bringing light and hope to ever land and race.

 

Praying, let us work for peace,
singing, share our joy with all,
working for a world that’s new,
faithful when we hear Christ’s call.
