Second Worship Service

At the very end of the today’s Gospel reading we are confronted with a truth that is thought provoking and challenging. “No slave can serve two masters; for a slave will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.” (Luke 16:13). We live in one of the wealthiest nations on this planet and yet too many of our fellow Americans struggle with food insecurity. Who do you serve?

Go in Peace. Serve the Lord.

Thanks be to God!

Second Worship Service

Today we remember a bright, shining morning 21 years ago when the world when dark for so many. But even in that darkness, there was hope in God. Today, when you feel the darkness closing in on you, look for God’s light in your life. It may be hard to see through the chaos and dust and pain, but it’s there. And it will always be there, because you are a beloved child of God.

Go in Peace. Serve the Lord.

Thanks be to God!

Thank You for a Successful “Undies for Everyone” Campaign!

This week’s Gospel reading is a hard one to hear, talking about bringing division rather than peace, dividing households, families. Sometimes doing what is right is divisive. And sometimes talking, and listening, to other viewpoints is hard. But staying true to God’s way, staying true to our baptism in the Holy Spirit, we can, we must perservere.

Go in Peace. Serve the Lord.

Thanks be to God!

In today’s readings, we are warned against greed, vanity, and other temptations that turn us from God. Christ says in Luke 12:15, “Take care! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.” So much that is bad in this world originates in greed…war, poverty, crime, inflation, hatred, envy….the list goes on. Find your peace in this world. Find your way from Greed to God.
