Save the Date!
Currently, all blood types and components are needed, especially type O blood donations. Type O-negative blood is the universal blood type: ER doctors reach for it first to help stabilize patients before their blood type is known.
If you are well and healthy, we ask you to please consider donating blood on Sunday, June 14, 2020, in the Ott Center parking lot from 9 AM to 12:30 pm.
Spiritual Adoption
As we continue on with our spiritual adoption, we ask to keep praying for the unborn.
Keep praying for me! I am two months old now and about two inches long. Look! you can see my eyes,
nose and mouth. I will use them to experience God’s world after I am born.
The Ascension of the Lord The key to unlocking the scriptures is in Paul’s letter to the Ephesians as we pray, “May the eyes of your hearts be enlightened.” People see and hear things but simply have a hard time believing they are true. In our first reading from the very beginning of the Acts of the Apostles, Luke starts where his Gospel left off—the ascension of Jesus. For as long as Jesus spent preparing the disciples, they were still foggy about what was happening, and spent time staring at the sky wondering where he went. In today’s Gospel, the disciples still doubt Jesus to the very last minute. In the letter to the Ephesians, Paul speaks to the new Christian community, but could be preaching to each of us in the pews as he says, “I can explain it to you, but I can’t make you believe. This is where faith comes in.” May we all pray for the gift of enlightenment today!

Ascension of the Lord Prayers of the Faithful
Let us pray today for our needs and the needs of all the world, as Jesus prayed for us.
For all Christians to glorify God’s name as we strive to live out our Gospel mission even in the face of opposition and persecution, let us pray to the Lord. For all nations to share earth’s natural live-giving resources generously with those who need them most, let us pray to the Lord. For doctors and scientists, may their work to protect us and heal us during this pandemic be heeded and blessed, let us pray to the Lord. For our community to place all our service and ministry in the context of prayer even as Jesus and his early disciples did, let us pray to the Lord. For all who graduate this unusual spring as they celebrate their accomplishments and prepare for a new phase of work, service, or scholarship in their lives, let us pray to the Lord. For all those who are sick, for all who suffer from COVID-19, and for all who have died, let us pray to the Lord. For all the prayers that we hold in the silence of our hearts; for all our intentions spoken and unspoken, let us pray to the Lord.
Faithful God, because of your Son’s great love for us, we stand redeemed as your holy people. Hear these our prayers and graciously grant them according to your will, through Jesus Christ our risen Lord. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
