Our prayer this week is the Prayer of the Day for the Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost.

O Lord God, enliven and preserve your church with your perpetual mercy. Without your help, we mortals will fail; remove far from us everything that is harmful, and lead us toward all that gives life and salvation, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen.

We pray, too, that you continue to be with those for whom we prayed in worship this week: Pancho, Teresa, Betty, Barry & Dana, Tom & Jean, Ron & Lois, Betsy, Sonya Barnhart, Amaka & Emmanel Uzor, Marthereda & Helen Obi, Dorothy & family, John Ugo, Kate Igwebe, Loretta Barnard, Claudia Johnson, David Johnson, Walt Hodges, Bob Wells, George Barnhart, Tommy Brown, Steve Robertson, Maryanne, Angie, Rich & Cynthia, and the citizens of Ukraine.

We pray all these things in the name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen

Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost. September 6th.
The Holy Gospel According to St. Matthew, the 18th chapter.

15 “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. 16 But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every word may be confirmed by the evidence of two or three witnesses. 17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector. 18 Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 19 Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” (RSV)
