Liturgy that Matters – May 25, 2025 – John 14:23-29

Themes: In this issue, Candace examines the words of Christ intended to prepare disciples for his departure. Grief, memory, and companionship play major roles in this passage, while we negotiate our obligation to love despite deep pain. We also consider who we see as “one of us” when the Christian call can seem exclusive.

This week’s sermon commentaries are written by Min. Candace Simpson with liturgy by Rev. Molly Bolton.
