May 17 Worship Bulletin Sixth Sunday of Easter // Sunday, May 17, 2020 // Livestream at 9:30 am // Christ the King Lutheran Church // Cristo Rey

INTRODUCTION Jesus does not abandon his followers. Through the Holy Spirit, Jesus comes to abide with his disciples of every generation. As Pentecost draws near, we are reminded that the risen Christ dwells in us as the Spirit of truth. We receive this Spirit in baptism and pray that in our gathering around the Lord’s table the Spirit will transform us to be the body of the risen Christ in the world.

gather The Holy Spirit calls us together as the people of God.

GOSPEL John 14:15-21 L The holy gospel according to John. C Glory to you, O Lord.

[Jesus said to the disciples:] 15“If you love me, you will keep my commandments. 16And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, to be with you forever. 17This is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, because he abides with you, and he will be in you. 18“I will not leave you orphaned; I am coming to you. 19In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me; because I live, you
