12th Sunday after Pentecost

Sunday, August 16 | 10:00 a.m. | Sanctuary 

"Witness to Our Faith - A Love-filled Heart"

Matthew 15:10-28 (NRSV)

081626 Sermon Title.jpg

As we transition from summer to fall, we are called back together to work out how we will live in community as a witness to our faith. As a refresher, we ask you to consider how you would shape the body (the church) we seek to be. This is not a how-to with specifics for each communal situation, but an attitude check, a value inventory to ask who we will be together as we build up the church. Join us for the 12th Sunday of Pentecost as Pastor Jay leads us in worship with our new sermon series titled “Witness to Our Faith - A Love-filled Heart”, accompanied by scripture from Matthew 15:10-28.

​Today we are learning about the Festival of Booths. This is a celebration where many Jewish families build small houses or tents to worship God. It is a time of rejoicing. This festival was held in ancient Israel when the harvest season was over, and it celebrated all that God had provided for God's people to survive.​

Today's Blessing:

Dear God,

Thank you for giving us so many things to celebrate. In Jesus' name, Amen.
