Welcome

The author of Psalm 42 remembers going with the crowd to the house of God “with the voice of joy and praise” (Psalm 42:4, NKJV). May we share that same spirit of gladness today as we gather to worship our Creator and approach his throne of grace. A warm welcome to all!

Preparation for Worship

Open our spiritual eyes, blessed Lord, that we may catch a glimpse of your holiness.

Prayer Ventures

Pray for the Spirit to embolden us to follow the example of Jesus, who was wise, generous, compassionate and willing to take risks to respond to people’s needs. Pray that we might use our individual and collective time, talents and resources to respond to human needs in the United States and around the world.

25th Sunday after Pentecost

Our readings during November speak of the end times. Zephaniah proclaims that the coming day of the LORD will be filled with wrath and distress. Paul says it will come like a thief in the night and urges us to be awake and sober. Jesus tells the parable of the talents, calling us to use our gifts, while we still have time, for the greater and common good. In a world filled with violence and despair, we gather around signs of hope—word, water, bread, and wine—eager to welcome the good news of Christ’s coming among us.

A Quote From Fr. Richard Rohr

You are created in the image of God from the very beginning. This is the basis for God’s justice: Since everyone is made in the image of God, then we need to recognize, honor, and respect the image of God in everyone.
No exceptions.
