Click here for the bulletin with liturgy and announcements for Sunday, June 25, the Solemnity of the Nativity of St. John the Baptizer. Today we celebrate the Feast of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, the “forerunner” of our Lord Jesus. There are few actual earthly birthdays kept in the liturgical calendar. Most are “heavenly birthdays” (day of death). Only the nativities of Our Lord, His Blessed Mother, and St. John the Baptist are celebrated as Feasts or Solemnities of the Christian Year.

Our special guest preacher today for Refugee Sunday will be the Rev. Jason Mohn from Exodus World Service. Exodus World Service mobilizes the Christian community to welcome and befriend refugees. We do this by educating churches and individuals about the plight of refugees, connecting volunteers with refugees through practical service projects, and empowering people to be champions for refugees.

Liturgy is from the Anglican Service Book, available online here: Anglican Service Book.
