Abraham runs to welcome three strangers with lavish hospitality, and discovers he is entertaining the Lord, who fulfills the impossible promise that brings laughter to Sarah’s lips, because nothing is too wonderful for God. Paul traces the arc of that same grace; justified by faith, we stand in hope that does not disappoint, because God’s love was poured out for us while we were still sinners. Jesus looks out at the harassed and helpless crowds with compassion, and sends his disciples out to do what he has done — proclaiming, healing, and giving freely what they have freely received. We are that church, called still to proclaim truth with boldness and minister justice with compassion, trusting the Spirit to speak through us.

The collects for the first part of the Season after Pentecost were designed by Summerlee Walter, communications coordinator at the Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina.

Abram simply got up and went, leaving everything familiar behind on the strength of God’s promise alone. That leap of faith echoes through Paul’s letter as the very model of how grace works: not through law, but through trust in a God who gives life to the dead and calls into existence things that do not exist. Jesus embodies that same life-giving grace as he calls a despised tax collector, dines with sinners, heals a woman deemed untouchable, and raises a little girl from death; he came not for the righteous but for those who know their need of a physician. All good proceeds from this God who inspires, guides, and makes good on every promise.

Today our Care Share Connect leaders, Molly and Sally, organized a wonderful tea party. The theme was “Bee a Friend,” and several of our parishioners brought friends who enjoyed fancy-dancy treats along with a variety of teas. Suezanne Hill gave an inspirational message about friendship, and Travis Watson, a local bee keeper taught is about the many types of bees and pollination. Guests left with bee themed candles made from melted down Eucharistic candles. The caring and sharing led to many connections and friendship-buds.
