1 Duke University Chapel Service of Worship Second Sunday after Pentecost June 10, 2012 Eleven o clock in the morning Keeping the heart of the University listening to the heart of God The church is a place of invisible hope. In Paul s second letter to the church in Corinth, he speaks to the the ways God transforms and renews suffering and affliction. He encourages the church not to lose heart because it is being renewed day by day, and its people are being prepared for eternal friendship with God. In Mark s gospel lesson, Jesus redefines traditional family by arguing that family is not defined by biology but by those who are participating in the life of God.

2 The congregation is asked to remain silent during the prelude as a time of prayer and meditation.
