Happy Thursday everyone!

Today we offer to you a sermon from one of my seminary classmates, Rev. Robin Denney who was then at St. Cross Church in California.

The sermon includes a reading of the Gospel from that day, and is absolutely worth a listen.

What are some of the rules that you learned in childhood? What are some rules that you use today? How many of them were created in childhood?

Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost - Mark 7:1-8, 14-15, 21-23.

Today, in addition to our meeting at 7 tonight (at St. Andrew’s), here is a video introducing the Way of Love, a rule of life created by Episcopal Bishop Michael Curry. We mentioned it a lot yesterday & probably will stain going forward.

Enjoy!

More than a program or curriculum, it is an intentional commitment to a set of practices. It's a commitment to follow Jesus: Turn, Learn, Pray, Worship, Bless, Go, Rest.
