1. Delegates for MC-USA special delegate session Jude McCulley and Grace Harader-Ellett confirmed by consensus to serve as our delegates 2. Update on building and grounds (including parking lot) Parking lot: Plan has been submitted to city, notice has been provided to neighbors. Plan is pretty similar to previously shared documents. There will be some shifts in grade for accessibility. After city feedback we will begin soliciting bids. Committee will continue to inform us about progress. Two other projects needing attention: (1) Seam taping of drywall at front of sanctuary has failed. Anne has workers who can do the job for around $1200. (2) Shed is failing; again a proposal to repair for around $1200 using existing “shell” of shed. Anne is not planning to get other bids. $1000 has been put in budget for sanctuary wall repair. Electronic door upgrade is not going to be done to south doors so those funds can be directed toward these projects too. Consensus reached to approve the expenditure of up to $1500 per project and for Anne to use her contractors to do the work as quickly as possible. 3. Financial report Mortgage has been paid down well, contributions are coming in well. Financial report distributed in advance to congregation and available online. 4. Sabbatical update Sabbatical will take place June 29-October 3. Congregation will engage in some guided process in envisioning what worship and community life will look like as the pandemic transition continues. Joanna will also engage with these subjects. Joanna will provide more information about sabbatical plans as the date draws near. 5. COVID-19 update Mask wearing continues to be requested in the building, based on community COVID-19 numbers and our wish to be a welcoming space for all. 6. Indigenous Justice update Grant request was not funded. The process of applying helped focus the goals of the group. Now they are working with some members of the Kaw Nation regarding return of the Red Rock; grant funding has been received by the Kaw nation for the logistics of moving it and for educational efforts both in Council Grove and in Lawrence (for when the rock is gone). Goal is May 2023 for removal. Part of work is going to be on healing relationships with groups who were on the plaque applied to the rock. Joanna and Joni are working to connect with other faith communities in Lawrence around this issue. A Dismantling the Doctrine of Discovery play is going to be presented in Wichita in November; we may try to get them to perform this here as well. The group is building and maintaining relationships as they learn what matters to Indigenous groups today. Contributions to Haskell that were collected in Advent have been mailed. 7. Search for new committee members New members for coordinating committee and building and grounds are welcome to serve out the remaining time in 2022 given the departure of Mike and Sonja Kaufman 8. Justice Matters announcement Action Assembly is taking place on Thursday evening at the fairgrounds. 9. Any other committee updates Brief Peace and Justice update (Katie); brief social committee update (Rosie), Everence update (Ryan)

Call to Worship:

Gathering Hymn: Jesus Calls Us, Voices Together #30
Congregational Prayer:
You are invited to offer your prayers to God. For what are you thankful this morning? What would you ask of God for yourself? Who do you know who needs God’s loving presence right now? What are your prayers for our community, our country, and our world?
Feel free to share your prayers with people around you, in the comments below, or on our Zoom call at 11 Sunday morning.
With ongoing violence in the Middle East, let us offer this prayer from Mennonite Central Committee for the people of Palestine and Israel:
“Then justice will dwell in the land
and righteousness abide in the fruitful field.
The effect of righteousness will be peace
and the result of righteousness, quietness and trust forever.” — Isaiah 32:16-17
O God of life and love and peace,
We witness the violence and injustice in your Holy Land
And our hearts break.
Our hearts break for all Palestinians—
For the victims of violent attacks from Israelis
For those who have endured decades of occupation and oppression
For those whose homes and olive orchards have been demolished
For those who languish in Israeli prisons and in the “open air prison” of Gaza
For those without nearly enough water and electricity and medical care
For those who are refugees, long displaced from their homes.
Our hearts break for the Jewish people of Israel—
For the victims of violent attacks from Palestinians
For those who live with fear and insecurity
For those who re-live the trauma of the Holocaust over and over.
Our hearts break for the wider world—
For those who are indifferent to the pain and suffering in your Holy Land
For those who distort or turn their eyes from truth
For those who fail to see the humanity of all your children.
Heal us all, O God.
Heal the broken and comfort the sorrowful.
Give hope to the hopeless and courage to the fearful.
Strengthen the peacemakers and reconcilers.
Confront those who practice injustice and commit violence.
We especially pray—
That weapons of war be laid down
That walls of separation and the machinery of occupation be dismantled
That prisoners be released
That demonizing of “the other” cease
That political leaders seek the good of all people in Palestine and Israel.
We pray also for ourselves—
That our eyes will be opened to the ways in which our beliefs and actions have contributed to injustice and to violence.
O God, whose heart breaks for the world,
May your justice dwell in the land
May your righteousness abide in fruitful fields
May the effect of righteousness be quietness and trust forever
May the effect of justice be peace — enduring peace.
Amen

And on this Mothers’ Day, let us offer prayers of gratitude for those who have nurtured us, and for those we have had the privilege to nurture. Let us hold tenderly in prayer those who experience grief on this day: those who have difficult relationships with their mothers and mothers who have difficult relationships with their children; those who have struggled with infertility; those who mourn the death of mothers, of children, and of other beloveds. And let us give praise to God, our Mother, who has created us, who nurtures us, who guides us, and who loves us beyond measure. Amen.

Introduction to Galatians:
Scripture Reading: Galatians 1:13-17; 2:11-21; read by Jill Allen
Sermon: “Do not nullify the grace of God.”
Reflection Activity:
Take some time to write out a list of shoulds. What should you have done already that’s not done? What should you do in the coming week? And especially, what should you do that you really don’t want to do or know you won’t actually do?
Look over your list of things you should have done. Remind yourself–and say it out loud if that helps–that God is in loving relationship with you even though you didn’t do those things. Look over the list of things you should do in the coming week. It’s true there might be negative consequences if you don’t get some of those things done, but those consequences will NOT include God abandoning you. Remind yourself that God is in loving relationship with you even if you don’t do the things on your should list.
Tear up the paper(s) you wrote on as you give thanks to God for divine grace.

Prayer of Formation
By Peter Haresnape (CPT)
Liberating God, we acknowledge our brokenness,
And we welcome your healing presence among us.
Saying together:
Liberating God, form us today.
We have forgotten our original instructions,
To tend and care, to know and grow,
Form us again into your image.
Liberating God, form us today.
We have tuned our instruments to the seductive beat
Of war, of plunder, of dispossession and ignorance,
Tune us again to sing your song,
Liberating God, form us today.
We have denied and derided the presence of Indigenous Knowledge,
The sciences and spiritualities, languages and legal systems of Indigenous Nations.
Draw us a map to bring us to the right road,
Liberating God, form us today.
You have called us to Love, spoken Truth to us,
And shown us right Action, in your own Son’s hands.
Call again, and we shall respond,
Liberating God, form us today.
Hearing your call on our lives, we seek to respond.
May we emulate Christ, and become fully human.
Fully immersed in the naming waters of this world,
Fully awake to your indwelling presence,
Forming us to be your beloved community,
Through your will, our willingness, and the name of Jesus, amen.

And in yet another week of violence in our country, we offer prayers for peace:
Holy and loving God,
We cry “Peace, peace!” but there is no peace.
Hear our cries, O God.
Hear our cries for those wounded, traumatized, grieving
in the wake of forty-five mass shootings in the United States in the past month:
Indianapolis, Pensacola, Washington D.C., Baltimore, Chicago, Wichita, Seattle, Memphis, Fort Worth,
Milwaukee, Detroit, Birmingham, Dallas, Cleveland, Boulder, Philadelphia, Atlanta,
and towns whose names we’d never know except for the tragedies on the news.
Hear our cries for those wounded, traumatized, grieving
in the wake of police violence:
for those impacted by the trial of the officer who killed George Floyd;
for the renewed grief and outrage in the community after the murder of Duante Wright;
for the family, the friends, the neighbors of Adam Toledo, 13, shot dead;
for those who have come before and those fearful they will be next.
God, in your mercy, hear our prayer.
Hear our prayer and guide our feet in the path of your justice–
the justice that will lead to true peace.
Amen.

Worship Image by Roger Gibson: “The Wilderness that Invites the Journey”
The artist, Roger Gibson, writes: “The wilderness invites, even requires, a journey. And that journey, especially if one is lost in the wilderness, brings both the lassitude of uncertainty and the fear of a required commitment to choose a direction. The hands are positioned to express both of these, the upward facing palm searching for the will to look for a way through and out of the wilderness, and the palm grasping the cross as a sign of commitment to one chosen path. Together, they are faith.”
You can scroll through the images above to see how Roger added to his painting for each week of Lent.
