Our next worship series, leading up to Pentecost, is “The Cup of Freedom”. In our theme song, we give thanks for the freedom that is ours as we live as “Easter People” — a people of resurrected life. In the song we sing, “I will take the cup of freedom and call on the name of God!” To “take” up this cup of love is an active gesture. It suggests that we have the God-given power to act, to leave death behind and move toward a hope-filled future together. Throughout the season we will claim this power to move forward, to sing, to follow, to rise again, to love, heal, and be opened. In the end, we are filled with the freedom of the Spirit of God.
