THE ENNEAGRAM AND THE TEACHINGS OF JESUSJune 25 at 1210 pm on Zoom
Note Adult formation will return on June 25 at a new
time 1210 pm The Bible provides us with so many
amazing stories and images in the parables of Jesus
but we all read these stories with a wide variety of
perspectives Depending on your personality type
and your particular way of seeing the world Scripture
passages will speak to you differently ndash but if you know
what to look for they can provide the Gospel news that
you are most longing to hear In this class we will use
the wisdom of the Enneagram and the nine personality
types as a framework for our discussion of the teachings
of Jesus Come join Dixon Kinser Sara Ardrey-Graves
and Julie Smith to learn what Jesus has to say about our
gifts our faults and our movement to growth Come
drink deeply from the well of good news that the Bible
gives to each of us

Celebrant Alleluia Christ is risen p 355 People The Lord is risen indeed Alleluia Celebrant Almighty God to you all hearts are open all desires known and from you no secrets are hid Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit that we may perfectly love you and worthily magnify your holy Name through Christ our Lord Amen
Celebrant The Lord be with you People And also with you Celebrant Let us pray
Almighty God on this day you opened the way of eternal life to every race and nation by the promised gift of your Holy Spirit Shed abroad this gift throughout the world by the preaching of the Gospel that it may reach to the ends of the earth through Jesus Christ our Lord who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit one God for ever and ever Amen The First Reading All are seated Numbers 1124-30
Moses went out and told the people the words of the LORD and he gathered seventy elders of the people and placed them all around the tent Then the LORD came down in the cloud and spoke to him and took some of the spirit that was on him and put it on the seventy elders and when the spirit rested upon them they prophesied But they did not do so again Two men remained in the camp one named Eldad and the other named Medad and the spirit rested on them they were among those registered but they had not gone out to the tent and so they prophesied in the camp And a young man ran and told Moses Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp And Joshua son of Nun the assistant of Moses one of his chosen men said My lord Moses stop them But Moses said to him Are you jealous for my sake Would that all the LORDs people were prophets and that the LORD would put his spirit on them And Moses and the elders of Israel returned to the camp
Reader The Word of the Lord People Thanks be to God Psalm 10425-35 37 Read in unison O LORD how manifold are your works in wisdom you have made them all the earth is full of your creatures
4
Yonder is the great and wide sea with its living things too many to number creatures both small and great
There move the ships and there is that Leviathan which you have made for the sport of it
All of them look to you to give them their food in due season
You give it to them they gather it you open your hand and they are filled with good things
You hide your face and they are terrified you take away their breath and they die and return to their dust
You send forth your Spirit and they are created and so you renew the face of the earth
May the glory of the LORD endure for ever may the LORD rejoice in all his works
He looks at the earth and it trembles he touches the mountains and they smoke
I will sing to the LORD as long as I live I will praise my God while I have my being
May these words of mine please him I will rejoice in the LORD
Bless the LORD O my soul Hallelujah The Second Reading Acts 21-21 When the day of Pentecost had come the disciples were all together in one place And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind and it filled the entire house where they were sitting Divided tongues as of fire appeared among them and a tongue rested on each of them All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages as the Spirit gave them ability Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem And at this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered because each one heard them speaking in the native language of each Amazed and astonished they asked Are not all these who are speaking Galileans And how is it that we hear each of us in our own native language Parthians Medes Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia Judea and Cappadocia Pontus and Asia Phrygia and Pamphylia Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene and visitors from Rome both Jews and proselytes
5
Cretans and Arabs-- in our own languages we hear them speaking about Gods deeds of power All were amazed and perplexed saying to one another What does this mean But others sneered and said They are filled with new wine But Peter standing with the eleven raised his voice and addressed them Men of Judea and all who live in Jerusalem let this be known to you and listen to what I say Indeed these are not drunk as you suppose for it is only nine oclock in the morning No this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel `In the last days it will be God declares that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy and your young men shall see visions and your old men shall dream dreams Even upon my slaves both men and women in those days I will pour out my Spirit and they shall prophesy And I will show portents in the heaven above and signs on the earth below blood and fire and smoky mist The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the Lords great and glorious day Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved

Moses went out and told the people the words of the LORD and he gathered seventy elders of the people and placed them all around the tent Then the LORD came down in the cloud and spoke to him and took some of the spirit that was on him and put it on the seventy elders and when the spirit rested upon them they prophesied But they did not do so again Two men remained in the camp one named Eldad and the other named Medad and the spirit rested on them they were among those registered but they had not gone out to the tent and so they prophesied in the camp And a young man ran and told Moses Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp And Joshua son of Nun the assistant of Moses one of his chosen men said My lord Moses stop them But Moses said to him Are you jealous for my sake Would that all the LORDs people were prophets and that the LORD would put his spirit on them And Moses and the elders of Israel returned to the camp
Reader The Word of the Lord People Thanks be to God Psalm 10425-35 37 Read in unison O LORD how manifold are your works in wisdom you have made them all the earth is full of your creatures
4
Yonder is the great and wide sea with its living things too many to number creatures both small and great
There move the ships and there is that Leviathan which you have made for the sport of it
All of them look to you to give them their food in due season
You give it to them they gather it you open your hand and they are filled with good things
You hide your face and they are terrified you take away their breath and they die and return to their dust
You send forth your Spirit and they are created and so you renew the face of the earth
May the glory of the LORD endure for ever may the LORD rejoice in all his works
He looks at the earth and it trembles he touches the mountains and they smoke
I will sing to the LORD as long as I live I will praise my God while I have my being
May these words of mine please him I will rejoice in the LORD
Bless the LORD O my soul Hallelujah The Second Reading Acts 21-21 When the day of Pentecost had come the disciples were all together in one place And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind and it filled the entire house where they were sitting Divided tongues as of fire appeared among them and a tongue rested on each of them All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages as the Spirit gave them ability Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem And at this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered because each one heard them speaking in the native language of each Amazed and astonished they asked Are not all these who are speaking Galileans And how is it that we hear each of us in our own native language Parthians Medes Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia Judea and Cappadocia Pontus and Asia Phrygia and Pamphylia Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene and visitors from Rome both Jews and proselytes
5
Cretans and Arabs-- in our own languages we hear them speaking about Gods deeds of power All were amazed and perplexed saying to one another What does this mean But others sneered and said They are filled with new wine But Peter standing with the eleven raised his voice and addressed them Men of Judea and all who live in Jerusalem let this be known to you and listen to what I say Indeed these are not drunk as you suppose for it is only nine oclock in the morning No this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel `In the last days it will be God declares that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy and your young men shall see visions and your old men shall dream dreams Even upon my slaves both men and women in those days I will pour out my Spirit and they shall prophesy And I will show portents in the heaven above and signs on the earth below blood and fire and smoky mist The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the Lords great and glorious day Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved

Yonder is the great and wide sea with its living things too many to number creatures both small and great
There move the ships and there is that Leviathan which you have made for the sport of it
All of them look to you to give them their food in due season
You give it to them they gather it you open your hand and they are filled with good things
You hide your face and they are terrified you take away their breath and they die and return to their dust
You send forth your Spirit and they are created and so you renew the face of the earth
May the glory of the LORD endure for ever may the LORD rejoice in all his works
He looks at the earth and it trembles he touches the mountains and they smoke
I will sing to the LORD as long as I live I will praise my God while I have my being
May these words of mine please him I will rejoice in the LORD

Moses went out and told the people the words of the LORD and he gathered seventy elders of the people and placed them all around the tent Then the LORD came down in the cloud and spoke to him and took some of the spirit that was on him and put it on the seventy elders and when the spirit rested upon them they prophesied But they did not do so again Two men remained in the camp one named Eldad and the other named Medad and the spirit rested on them they were among those registered but they had not gone out to the tent and so they prophesied in the camp And a young man ran and told Moses Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp And Joshua son of Nun the assistant of Moses one of his chosen men said My lord Moses stop them But Moses said to him Are you jealous for my sake Would that all the LORDs people were prophets and that the LORD would put his spirit on them And Moses and the elders of Israel returned to the camp
Reader The Word of the Lord People Thanks be to God Psalm 10425-35 37 Read in unison O LORD how manifold are your works in wisdom you have made them all the earth is full of your creatures

Yonder is the great and wide sea with its living things too many to number creatures both small and great
There move the ships and there is that Leviathan which you have made for the sport of it
All of them look to you to give them their food in due season
You give it to them they gather it you open your hand and they are filled with good things
You hide your face and they are terrified you take away their breath and they die and return to their dust
You send forth your Spirit and they are created and so you renew the face of the earth
May the glory of the LORD endure for ever may the LORD rejoice in all his works
He looks at the earth and it trembles he touches the mountains and they smoke
I will sing to the LORD as long as I live I will praise my God while I have my being
May these words of mine please him I will rejoice in the LORD
Bless the LORD O my soul Hallelujah The Second Reading Acts 21-21 When the day of Pentecost had come the disciples were all together in one place And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind and it filled the entire house where they were sitting Divided tongues as of fire appeared among them and a tongue rested on each of them All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages as the Spirit gave them ability Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem And at this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered because each one heard them speaking in the native language of each Amazed and astonished they asked Are not all these who are speaking Galileans And how is it that we hear each of us in our own native language Parthians Medes Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia Judea and Cappadocia Pontus and Asia Phrygia and Pamphylia Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene and visitors from Rome both Jews and proselytes

Celebrant Lift up your hearts People We lift them to the Lord Celebrant Let us give thanks to the Lord our God It is right to give him
thanks and praise Celebrant It is right and a good and joyful thing always and everywhere to give thanks to you Father Almighty Creator of heaven and earth through Jesus Christ our Lord In fulfillment of his true promise the Holy Spirit came down on this day from heaven lighting upon the disciples to teach them and to lead them into all truth uniting peoples of many tongues in the confession of one faith and giving to your Church the power to serve you as a royal priesthood and to preach the Gospel to all nations
Therefore we praise you joining our voices with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven who for ever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name
Celebrant and People Holy holy holy Lord God of power and might heaven and earth are full of your glory Hosanna in the highest Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord Hosanna in the highest
The Celebrant continues p 362 Holy and gracious Father In your infinite love you made us for yourself and when we had fallen into sin and become subject to evil and death you in your mercy sent Jesus Christ your only and eternal Son to share our human nature to live and die as one of us to reconcile us to you the God and Father of all He stretched out his arms upon the cross and offered himself in obedience to your will a perfect sacrifice for the whole world
On the night he was handed over to suffering and death our Lord Jesus Christ took bread and when he had given thanks to you he broke it and gave it to his disciples and said ldquoTake eat This is my Body which is given for you Do this for the remembrance of merdquo After supper he took the cup of wine and when he had given thanks he gave it to them and said ldquoDrink this all of you This is my Blood of the new Covenant which is shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins Whenever you drink it do this for the remembrance of merdquo
Therefore we proclaim the mystery of faith p 363
