Using “A Women’s Lectionary for the Whole Church: Year W” by Reverend Wil Gafney, PhD, this series invites you to listen to the Bible lectionary passages for the week. We hope that this time offers a new opportunity for you to notice what themes you see the Divine illuminating throughout the arc of the Old and New Testaments. What do these ancient words bring up for you? What could they build within you?

This week is Fifth Sunday After Pentecost, and the Scripture passages are 1 Samuel 4:2, 5-11, 19-22; Psalm 77:1-12, 19-20; Romans 5:1-5; and John 14:25-31.
