Text: 1 Corinthians 12:4-14, 27 May 17, 2026 Foundry United Methodist Church – Washington, DC Rev. T.C. Morrow Good morning! My name is Rev. T.C. Morrow. For the last twenty-four years I have been blessed to be a part of the Foundry community - first while finishing seminary, then like many of you serving in a variety of ways through the years, and when I formally became a clergyperson in the United Methodist Church, on the extended clergy team. In July, I will be starting as Senior Pastor at The United Church, a joint United Methodist and United Church of Christ congregation in Foggy Bottom. I am looking forward to my next adventures, but I am going to miss this Foundry community. I cannot start naming individuals or that will take all of my time, but I give my thanks to the three senior pastors during my time here: Rev. Dr. Phil Wogaman, Rev. Dean Snyder, and Rev. Ginger Gaines-Cirelli. I give thanks to God for their leadership, their guidance, their solidarity, and so much more. Today we are in the third week of a sermon series exploring foundations of Christian identity and discipleship. In a world full of competing messages about who we are, our purpose, and how we should live, we are returning to some of the core aspects of Christianity. We've already looked at our identity as beloved of God and how we are called to follow Jesus into a way of life shaped by God's love and grace. Today we're exploring the church and our belonging in it, the gathering in community of those seeking to grow in love of God and neighbor. Will you join me in prayer: May the words of my mouth and the meditations of our hearts be acceptable to you O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. As the U.S. nears its 250th anniversary, I've been thinking about some of the myths, like manifest destiny, that have shaped - or distorted – the direction of the country. As we gather this morning, not far from us, on the National Mall, others are gathering in what is ostensibly a day of prayer as part of activities marking the anniversary of the country. I looked at the speakers list. By all appearances, it is a Christian nationalist rally seeking to further solidify the myth that Christianity – a particular type of Christianity – is the only thing that will “save America.” I agree there is need for repentance in this country, but I think it is safe to say we deviate on specifics. I know that I do not need to repent for who I am as a lesbian and a beloved child of God. I do not need to repent for supporting my fellow trans Americans, and others who are being demonized and treated cruelly. But we do need repentance as a nation. Repentance from instilling fear and division. Repentance from greed and lies. Repentance from war mongering and violence. Repentance from the scapegoating of trans people, immigrants, non-Christians, and anyone who may be deemed “other.” Repentance from failing to uphold the common good. In today's scripture lesson, Paul names the reality of the diversity of the identities and the spiritual gifts of the community of Jesus followers in Corinth. Uniformity is not the goal; faithful interdependence is. Paul insists that there are indeed differences, and that it is only together, it is only collectively, that we are the body of Christ. Paul does not only acknowledge differences, he goes on to describe that we need the differences: “If the whole body were hearing, where would the sense of smell be?” Paul describes the need for robust diversity for the fullness of the church. Honoring diversity is biblical. Twenty-four years ago, a young lesbian couple – two cradle United Methodists with parents very involved in the church – decided to find a church home together. Logan and I wanted a church home where we could belong, as our full selves. We looked at a few options, and decided we wanted it to be a United Methodist Church, and with only a few Reconciling congregations at the time – churches that have gone on the record in support of LGBTQ+ inclusion – we ended up at Foundry. Logan quickly joined Jubilate, the choir at the then-9:30 service. Logan went to the Women's Retreat in the first year or two after we started attending, and Peggy Simpson was assigned as her roommate. It was fitting when a few years later the law changed in DC and same-sex couples could get married that Peggy graciously opened her home for our legal wedding, and then we had a celebration at Foundry with a service led by Rev. Dean Snyder. I attended the 2012 General Conference of The United Methodist Church with Rev. Snyder and several other members from Foundry. When there was no forward movement on LGBTQ inclusion through legislative change, LGBTQ+ people and allies sang in peaceful demonstration to the denomination they love and to themselves from Micah 6:8: “What does the Lord require of you?” We walked around the communion table and sang. A table that symbolizes God's reconciling activity through Jesus Christ. In one of the loops around the table, this non-musical child of God standing before you heard a word amidst the cacophony of sounds in the Tampa convention center: Stop waiting for the denominations rules to change. Put yourself forward as a candidate for ordained ministry. We are here today, by the grace of God, with different rules on the books thanks to the tireless work of advocates including several who are in this room today. And after a roadblock or two, a Judicial Council ruling or two, I was commissioned in 2019 and ordained in 2022. While it was my name in deliberations by the Annual Conference or in news stories, I was there as the visible representative of this community that kept saying over and over to the broader church that it was getting it wrong on the treatment of gay and lesbian and bi and trans and other queer people. It was only through the support, love, strength, and organizing work of this community that I was able to go on the journey that was my ordination candidacy process in The United Methodist Church. Christianity is meant to be practiced in community. Some make a theological case for this based on the relational aspect of God in the doctrine of the trinity. Some point to Paul's articulation of the church as the “body of Christ,” where no one body part is sufficient on its own and each part depends on the others. I personally wonder – how are you going to have a potluck by yourself? You can make yourself a dozen deviled-eggs or the best jello salad, but the whole point of a potluck is that no one brings everything, NO ONE HAS TO DO EVERYTHING. Each person does their part. There are certainly spiritual disciplines that are done individually: personal prayer, scripture reading, meditation, reflection, individual acts of compassion and advocacy. But Christianity is not a solo spiritual self-improvement project. Christianity is meant to be practiced in community. There are spiritual practices that we undertake together: worship, sacraments of baptism and communion, serving together, learning together, mutual care, accountability, sharing joys, being there for each other in the tough times. In the midst of a culture that too often celebrates self-sufficiency and radical individualism, the church is a place of interdependence. Paul says to the church in Corinth: “Now there are varieties of gifts but the same Spirit, and there are varieties of services but the same Lord, and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.” For the common good. Not only for our personal betterment, but we are each given spiritual gifts for the common good. The interdependence is part of how God forms us. We learn generosity by sharing what we have, from a friendly greeting to our time to our resources. We learn humility by recognizing wisdom in unexpected places, including from a six-year-old giving a really good answer to Ms. Natalie during the children's message. We learn patience by working through differences and disagreements. Christian community is not always easy, but it is where we belong. This week I invite you to reach out to someone in the church – someone here at Foundry if you are a part of this community or of your own church community if you are visiting from another. I invite you to reach out to someone to check in with them. Maybe someone who you know has been having a particularly hard time lately, or someone you haven't seen at church in a few weeks or months. You might arrange a time for coffee or a meal, take a walk, or have a phone conversation. Plan brunch, schedule time for your kids to play together at the park, go to coffee hour with the intention of asking at least one person a few questions beyond the polite “how are you?” We live in a culture of curated images, quick fixes, and too often shallow connections. We need to make spaces where we can be our authentic selves. Where we can tell the truth about our lives. Where we can grow in love of God and neighbor. You might reach out to someone thinking that you are “helping” them, but I encourage you to be open to how God may be at work in that connection in ways you did not expect, shaping both of you. In the midst of increasing militarism and authoritarianism, in the midst of greed and lies, in the midst of racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and so much more – our way through is together. There are days where we might want to do it alone. And rest and renewal are certainly important. And individual spiritual practices are important. But as Christians we belong together in community with other Christians to learn, to serve, to celebrate, to grieve, to remind each other that we are beloved children of God, no matter what anyone says. The body of Christ is not a collection of isolated spiritual consumers. It is a people learning how to belong to one another. I am looking forward to the next part of my adventure, but I am going to miss this community. I will carry with me so much and I give thanks to God for helping be a community that affirmed that I belong in the church, and that we all belong in the church. So #KeepShowingUp for each other. Give a wide welcome to those looking for a safe space to explore big questions and bring their full selves. Teach the children that God loves them. Let others care for you, and give that same care in return. Try out being an usher, or singing with the choir, or joining the prayer team, or helping out with Children's Worship. Join a small group. Participate in one of the ministries of care and justice. Be a vessel of hope in a world that desperately needs it. Remind each other that #GodIsYetAtWork in you and through you, Foundry United Methodist Church. And may it continue to be so. Amen.

Though we are now children of God, the fullness of what we shall be has not yet been revealed (1 John 3:1–3). We are those who wait on the Lord. “The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him” (Lam. 3:25). Jesus tells us that the wait is just a little while. “A little while, and you will see me no longer; and again a little while, and you will see me” (John 16:16). Though you must experience sorrow for a time, though you must live as strangers in a world that is at enmity with Christ, yet your sorrow will be turned to joy when He returns. “But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength” (Is. 40:31). The little while of weeping shall be replaced with an eternity of rejoicing in the presence of Christ the crucified and risen Savior. “And no one will take your joy from you” (John 16:22).

Lutheran Preaching and Teaching from St. John Random Lake, Wisconsin
The Father commanded the Son to suffer and enter His glory. The Son obeyed. The Father gave Him over for your trespasses and raised Him for your justification. Christ was raised by the Father, and that resurrection is the Father's seal on every word the Son ever spoke. The empty tomb says: this Word is true. This commandment is life. The grave could not hold the One who carried the Father's commandment, and the grave will not hold those to whom He has spoken it.

Two kinds of time run through this Gospel. Chronos, which counts every loss and draws its conclusions. And kairos, which speaks the word of the risen Christ into the middle of those losses and names them for what they are: labor pains, not graves.
The sermon from Jubilate (commonly known as the Fourth Sunday of Easter) by Pastor Atkinson.
April 26, 2026Today's Reading: John 16:16-22Daily Lectionary: Leviticus 8:1-13, 30-36; Luke 9:1-17“Truly, truly, I say to you, you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn into joy.” (John 16:20)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.It's Thursday. The Passover is being celebrated. It's a familiar day—an ancient festival. And yet, there's something different about this day. This night. This Passover. Jesus teaches. Prays. Eats. Drinks. This is all familiar. But then Jesus does something new. He gives a New Covenant—a new testament—in his Body and Blood. Not only that, Jesus' words seem to reflect the darkness of this night. Sorrow. Weeping. Lament. Jesus is going away. What does this mean? They don't know, but Jesus knows. Jesus looks at their scared, bewildered faces and knows the suffering that's coming. He knows their fears, uncertainty, and sadness. He knows he is about to endure: jeers, whips, tearing flesh, blood dripping, anguish, pain, and agony. He knows the sorrow that will overwhelm them as they scatter with fear and denial, as the stone is rolled over Jesus' tomb. “You will weep and lament and the world will rejoice.” Jesus is speaking about his death and resurrection. A little while, they would see him no more. Crucified. Dead. Buried. But in a little while, they would see him again. Risen. Glorified. Appearing in the Upper Room. Good Friday sorrow gives way to Easter joy. Anguish gives way to cries of “He is risen!” But Jesus' words aren't only for his disciples. Jesus speaks to you as well. As we live in the “little while” between Jesus' death, resurrection, ascension, and his coming again on the Last Day, life is often full of sorrows, weeping, and lamentation. For you, the baptized Christian, sorrow is not an illusion – it's real. Sometimes all too real. Sometimes it lasts days, weeks, years. Sometimes suffering doesn't go away with the dawn. Sometimes, time doesn't heal all wounds.In this life, sorrow, tears, and lament are real. But so is this: Christ's Gift of joy that no amount of suffering or sorrow can rob you of. Christ's dying and rising for you, bringing his suffering into the midst of yours, taking your suffering and sorrow upon himself, and giving you his crucified and risen joy.So, until the day when Christ returns, when everything sad will come untrue, we live in Jesus' promise: “You will have sorrow now, but I will see you again and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.”In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Almighty God, merciful Father, since You have wakened from death the Shepherd of Your sheep, grant us your Holy Spirit that when we hear the voice of our Shepherd we may know Him who calls us each by name and follow where He leads; through the same Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
Therefore, the focus for our meditation today is the words of Peter in the epistle, “Beloved, I bed you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul, having you conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers thy may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation.”Peter calls Christians sojourners and pilgrims. Our home is not of this world. Our home is in Christ's kingdom.

Predigt zu Joh 15,1-8
Проповедь пастора Федора Тулынина в 3-е воскресенье после Пасхи (Jubilate) на чтение Ин. 16:16-2316 Вскоре вы не увидите Меня, и опять вскоре увидите Меня, ибо Я иду к Отцу.17 Тут некоторые из учеников Его сказали один другому: что это Он говорит нам: «вскоре не увидите Меня, и опять вскоре увидите Меня», и: «Я иду к Отцу»?18 Итак, они говорили: что это говорит Он: «вскоре»? Не знаем, что говорит.19 Иисус, уразумев, что хотят спросить Его, сказал им: о том ли спрашиваете вы один другого, что Я сказал: «вскоре не увидите Меня, и опять вскоре увидите Меня»?20 Истинно, истинно говорю вам: вы восплачете и возрыдаете, а мир возрадуется; вы печальны будете, но печаль ваша в радость будет.21 Женщина, когда рождает, терпит скорбь, потому что пришёл час её; но когда родит младенца, уже не помнит скорби от радости, потому что родился человек в мир.22 Так и вы теперь имеете печаль; но Я увижу вас опять, и возрадуется сердце ваше, и радости вашей никто не отнимет у вас;23 и в тот день вы не спросите Меня ни о чём. Истинно, истинно говорю вам: о чём ни попросите Отца во имя Моё, даст вам.
der predigttext nach johannes 15 die ersten acht verse (nach der genfer übersetzung):1 »Ich bin der wahre Weinstock, und mein Vater ist der Weinbauer.2 Jede Rebe an mir, die nicht Frucht trägt, schneidet er ab; eine Rebe aber, die Frucht trägt, schneidet er zurück; so reinigt er sie, damit sie noch mehr Frucht hervorbringt.3 Ihr seid schon rein; ihr seid es aufgrund des Wortes, das ich euch verkündet habe.4 Bleibt in mir, und ich werde in euch bleiben. Eine Rebe kann nicht aus sich selbst heraus Frucht hervorbringen; sie muss am Weinstock bleiben. Genauso wenig könnt ihr Frucht hervorbringen, wenn ihr nicht in mir bleibt.5 Ich bin der Weinstock, und ihr seid die Reben. Wenn jemand in mir bleibt und ich in ihm bleibe, trägt er reiche Frucht; ohne mich könnt ihr nichts tun.6 Wenn jemand nicht in mir bleibt, geht es ihm wie der ´unfruchtbaren` Rebe: Er wird weggeworfen und verdorrt. Die verdorrten Reben werden zusammengelesen und ins Feuer geworfen, wo sie verbrennen.7 Wenn ihr in mir bleibt und meine Worte in euch bleiben, könnt ihr bitten, um was ihr wollt: Eure Bitte wird erfüllt werden.8 Dadurch, dass ihr reiche Frucht tragt und euch als meine Jünger erweist, wird die Herrlichkeit meines Vaters offenbart.«

Jubilate! Hossa Talk meldet sich aus der Sommerpause zurück und löst den Cliffhanger aus der letzten Folge auf. Es geht weiter mit Gofis Neuformulierung des „Vater unser“, das er für eine Predigtreihe im openSPACE Fulda geschrieben hat. Während wir im ersten Teil viel über die Wichtigkeit von Sprache und den inklusiven Charakter dieses Gebets gesprochen haben, geht es im zweiten Teil jetzt an die herausfordernden Stellen. Zum Beispiel zu der Bitte „Und führe uns nicht in Versuchung“. Was bedeutet das, dass Gott Menschen aktiv in Versuchung führt? Ist das überhaupt denkbar und welches Gottesbild liegt dem zugrunde? Und gibt es andere Möglichkeiten, dem Kern dieser Bitte auf den Grund zu gehen? Oder was machen wir in unserer Wohlstandsgesellschaft mit der Bitte um das tägliche Brot? Was bedeutet es, genug für heute zu haben? Wir hoffen, ihr hattet einen fantastischen Sommer und freut euch genauso wie wir auf die spannenden Themen und Gäst*innen, die wir für den kommenden Herbst für euch vorbereitet haben.

Isaiah 40:25-31 1 Peter 2:11-20 John 16:16-22Rev. Adam Moline
We cannot separate the curse of the woman in childbearing from the promise that comes from her seed. When God cursed the serpent, He also said “I will put enmity between you and the woman, between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.” Although the woman would have pain in childbearing there was a promise even more than just the joy of a new human being come into the world. One of those who would be born of the woman would defeat Satan, crush the serpent's head. The woman participates in this first gospel that by her work, the Savior would come who delivers us from the kingdom of the enemy with a marvelous victory.
The Third Sunday after Easter is known as "Jubilate" Sunday. Jubilate is a Latin word that means "rejoice." Certainly there is much rejoicing that happens during Easter. The Alleluia's have returned after the penitential season of Lent and there is much joy in our worship and singing. But the hymn that we are studying in preparation for our worship this weekend is not from the Easter section of our hymnal, but the "Lord's Day" section. The Lord's Day is a term found in Revelation, which referred to Sunday. The early Christians called the first day of the week the Lord's Day, because it was on that day that the Lord had risen from the dead. He was the victor! It was now HIS day! This hymn by Julia Elliott does several creative things. First it uses the Biblical idea of light vs. darkness in each of the verses, tying this concept to three different historical events: The creation of Light, the resurrection of Jesus, and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost. With each verse she focuses on a different person of the Triune God. And in each verse she points out that we pray that our Triune God would continue His work of bringing light into our dark lives and world through the Gospel. Ephesians 5:13-17 serves as part of the basis for this beautiful hymn. There Paul writes: "But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. Therefore He says: “Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light.” See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is." Join us in our study of this hymn and its writer, and as we learn more about the Scriptural foundation and meaning of our hymns so that our use of them would be more beneficial as we gather in worship and use this hymn of praise. May the LORD bless you as He enlightens you through His word this weekend!

Viewing newspapers from November, 1892 we get a sense of what was being said the last time a former president came back and the "ex" was switched from the former President to the current President. From parades to sour notes and recriminations, from stories of how the election was lost, to predictions that it would be a quick 4 years for the winner, to lots of post-election sniping over tariff policy, we find some notes of today.

Last Sunday is often called “Good Shepherd Sunday.” Perhaps we might call this Sunday, “A Little While” Sunday. “A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me, because I go to the Father” ( Jn 16:16 ). Seven times in the text, we find the words “a little while.”…

Sermon for Jubilate, the fourth Sunday of EasterAs you may know, I have had close personal experience recently with the example from the gospel lesson today - A woman, when she in labor, has sorrow because her hour has come, but as soon as she gives birth to the child she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world.
