Because Jesus welcomed all people, we are dedicated to welcoming all people of every race, culture, belief, national origin, gender, gender identity, age, marital status, family structure, sexual orientation, economic circumstance, and physical or mental ability.

All are welcome at Gethsemane, and all really means ALL!

4th Sunday after Pentecost

June 21st, 2026

This is Not the End of Your Story

  • How faith shows up in the small things
  • Why compassion matters, even when it’s riskey
  • What it means to trust God when it takes time
  • How gratitude can transform us
  • Why prayer is worth holding onto

From Pastor TJ’s sermon this past Sunday:

“Follow Jesus into a story where mercy matters more than image. Follow Jesus into a story where broken people are not disqualified – they’re central.”

– Pastor TJ Lynch
