Matthew 28:19-20

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.

"The life of someone becoming more like Jesus and helping others do the same is accompanied by, and empowered by the presence of God. The Gospel of Matthew began with the declaration that Jesus would be Immanuel, God with us. Here, at the end of the Gospel, Jesus fulfills this and says “I am with you always, to the end of the age.” The promise is that the Great Commission is not done alone. Our commission is to continue the work of Jesus’ 12 disciples. We are bringing people into the life of our triune God; growing the kingdom through the lives of individuals, neighborhoods, workplaces, and our other spheres of influence — Wherever we go.

The commencement ceremony that took place on a mountain in Galilee continues in 21st century Northern Virginia and as we look to the youngest in this church, continues in and through them. We need to become a church where this great commission is lived out and passed on. 1) pray, 2) work on your own growth in holiness, 3) know Christ’s commands, 4) notice the needs of others, 5) and invite others into life with Jesus. We cannot give what we ourselves have not received, so let’s do the hard work together of noticing and taking up God’s grace for ourselves so that we might share it with others, knowing that Jesus is with us and is bringing us all back into communion with our Triune God."

Collect for Trinity Sunday:

"Almighty and everlasting God, you have given to us your servants grace, by the confession of a true faith, to acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity, and in the power of your divine Majesty to worship the Unity: Keep us steadfast in this faith and worship, and bring us at last to see you in your one and eternal glory, O Father; who with the Son and the Holy Spirit live and reign, one God, for ever and ever. Amen."

May 31 ∙ The Feast of the Visitation

Collect for the Visitation:
"Almighty God, by whose grace Elizabeth rejoiced with the blessed Virgin Mary and greeted her as the mother of the Lord: Look with favor on your lowly servants, that, with Mary, we may magnify your holy Name and rejoice to acclaim her Son as our Savior; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen."
