Weekly Worship Texts
In Holy Communion, God meets us in the meal. Jesus is truly present, and we come by the Spirit’s grace. You are always welcome at God’s table. All baptized believers are welcome to share in this, God’s gift to us.
Receive the bread and eat. Gluten free option by request. Receive the wine (or juice) and drink. Place cup in nearby basket.
Welcome
Welcome to guests and long-time friends, as we worship in the name of God, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.
Preparation for Worship
With a basket of summer fruit, God showed Amos a sign (8:1-2). What summer messages do you have for me, O God, in ripening gardens, starry skies, long bright days, warmer weather?
Prayer Ventures
What have you witnessed or learned that reminds you of God’s presence and activity in the world? Lift up prayers of joy and thanksgiving!
Stewardship of your whole life
Colossians 1:15-16 – Jesus is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; for in him all things in heaven and on earth were created, things visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or powers—all things have been created through him and for him.
We celebrate the many freedoms and the abundance we enjoy, but we must remember with thanksgiving and humbleness the source of all we have — Christ, who holds all things together and in whom all things will be reconciled.
Sixth Sunday after Pentecost
Perhaps the church, at its best, is “all ears.” God urges the faithful, again and again, to “listen up!”—to heed the word that gives life. So it was with Abraham and Sarah, Mary and Martha, and the early church at Colossae. So it is today as we join the assembly to hear the word of God, the word of life.
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.
