Welcome

Welcome! We rejoice in your presence as we gather in unity around the throne of grace.

Preparation for Worship

Quiet our spirits, O Lord, so that we might focus upon your presence and know that we are properly worshiping you, our Creator, Redeemer and Comforter. Amen.

Prayer Ventures

Remember in prayer newly elected synod bishops, that God will grant them wisdom and strength for their ministry with their synods’ leaders, congregations and special ministries.

Nineth Sunday after Pentecost

As Solomon prays for wisdom, we seek to more deeply know the treasures of faith. In today’s gospel Jesus offers everyday images that reveal to us the reign of God: a tree that becomes a sheltering home, yeast that penetrates and expands, a treasured pearl, a net that gains a great catch. Even as we seek the riches of God’s reign, the great surprise is that God’s grace finds us first!

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.
