The Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost:

Celebrate with us at 8:00 am, 10:00 am, and 5:00 pm.

The 10:00 service will be live-streamed on our You Tube channel and website.

All are welcome.

Grant us, O Lord, to trust in you with all our hearts; for, as you always resist the proud who confide in their own strength, so you never forsake those who make their boast of your mercy; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Today the Church remembers Katharina Zell, Church Reformer and Writer, 1562.

Almighty God, whose servant Katharina Zell toiled for the reform of your church both in word and in deed: Fill us with the wisdom to speak out in defense of your truth, with love for you and for our neighbor, that we may serve you and welcome all your people with a mother’s heart; through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Send out your light and your truth, that they may lead me,
and bring me to your holy hill
and to your dwelling.

(Psalm 43:3)

We won’t be back in the church until September 13, but at this afternoon’s wedding rehearsal, Wanda Waller played the piano in the newly redesigned choir space for the first time.

Both Wanda and Rev. Tom report the space looks beautiful and the acoustics sound amazing!

Can’t wait for everyone to experience it on Renewal Sunday!

And many blessings on Walker Taylor and Emily Washburne as they begin their married life tomorrow.

Today the Church remembers Paul Jones, Bishop, 1941.

Merciful God, you sent your beloved Son to preach peace to those who are far off and to those who are near: Raise up in this and every land witnesses who, after the example of your servant Paul Jones, will stand firm in proclaiming the Gospel of the Prince of Peace, our Savior Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Today the Church remembers Phoebe, Deacon.

Join us for Morning Prayer at 9:00 in the Old School Building.

All are welcome!

Eternal God, who raised up Phoebe as a deacon in your church and minister of your Gospel; Grant us that same grace that, assisted by her prayers and example, we too may take the Gospel to the ends of the earth; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

A Service of Remembrance and Hope

Friday, September 11, 9:00 am,
The Old School Building

All are welcome as we gather to mark the 25th anniversary of the September 11 terror attacks.

Join us as we remember the dead and the grieving, give thanks for the courageous first responders, and pray for peace.

Almighty God, who brings good out of evil and turns even the wrath of your children towards your promised peace: Hear our prayers this day as we remember those of many nations and differing faiths whose lives were cut short by the fierce flames of anger and hatred. Hasten the time when the menace of war shall be removed. Cleanse both us and those perceived to be our enemies of all hatred and distrust. Pour out the spirit of peace on all the rulers of our world that we may be brought through strife to the lasting peace of the kingdom of your Son; Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God for ever and ever. Amen.

Today the Church remembers the Martyrs of New Guinea, 1942.

Join us at noon in the Old School Building for a Service of Holy Communion with Anointing, followed by Bible Study.

All are welcome!

Almighty God, we remember before you this day the blessed martyrs of New Guinea, who, following the example of their Savior, laid down their lives for their friends, and we pray that we who honor their memory may imitate their loyalty and faith; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
