Please join us in praying for our country--and the world--during this coronavirus outbreak. 

Dear Lord, protect us and keep us

free from COVID-19 infection. Help all who are working hard to contain the spread of this virus, especially those  

in the healthcare professions and those caring for the sick. 

Give clarity and right judgement to the National and State

Task Forces, the CDC, NIH and  Public Health

agencies combating this outbreak.

Guard all of us and especially our elderly and immunocompromised. 

Bring healing to those who have the disease, Eternal Glory to those who have succumbed to the virus and

comfort to the families who have lost loved ones.

God bless us, and God bless the United States of America.

Amen.

We are so grateful for all of you—for your friendship and your support! 

May the Lord bless you and your families abundantly throughout this 

Easter Season.

Fifth Sunday of Easter

Jesus said to his disciples:

“Do not let your hearts be troubled.

You have faith in God; have faith also in me.

In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places.

If there were not,

would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?

And if I go and prepare a place for you,

I will come back again and take you to myself,

so that where I am you also may be.

Where I am going you know the way.”

Thomas said to him,

“Master, we do not know where you are going;

how can we know the way?”

Jesus said to him, "I am the way and the truth and the life.

No one comes to the Father except through me.

If you know me, then you will also know my Father.

From now on you do know him and have seen him.”

Philip said to him,

“Master, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.”

Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you for so long a time

and you still do not know me, Philip?

Whoever has seen me has seen the Father.

How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?

The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own.

The Father who dwells in me is doing his works.

Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me,

or else, believe because of the works themselves.

Amen, amen, I say to you,

whoever believes in me will do the works that I do,

and will do greater ones than these,

because I am going to the Father.”

John 14:1-12
