July Worship Schedule

July 4 - The 6th Sunday after Pentecost - Holy Communion
God is the source of our nourishment. Our Lord's invitation to "take and eat...take and drink" is a repeated one. In the holy Eucharist, in the Word read and proclaimed, in the Assembly of the people of God, the dominion of God has come near. Rejoice! Your name is written in heaven.

We will celebrate the Lord's Supper at 8:00 and 9:30 a.m. this morning. Please join us!

July 11 - The 7th Sunday after Pentecost
To love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, strength, and mind is to reflect God's mercy in responding to one's neighbor. That mercy found its most profound expression in the "gospel that has come to you" - namely the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. That gospel mercy comes to us again today" at the font, at the altar, and from the pulpit. It is very near to you.

Please join us for worship!

July 18 - The 8th Sunday after Pentecost - Holy Communion
Perhaps the church, at its best, is "all ears". Almighty God urges the faithful, again and again, to "listen up!" - to heed the Word from above. So it was with Abraham and Sarah, with Mary and Martha, and the early church at Colossae. So it is today as we join the assembly to hear the Word of God, the words of life.

Holy Communion invites us to recall the great gift God provides for us - Eternal Life through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross. But it never stops there. With our sin forgiven and guilt taken away we are entrusted with a tremendous task. We are called to be the feet, hands, and voices for the risen and ascended Lord.

We will celebrate the Lord's Supper at 8:00 and 9:30 a.m. this morning. Please join us!

July 25 - The 9th Sunday after Pentecost
Persistence in prayer evoked the admiration of Jesus and wins the attention of the Lord when Abraham intercedes for Sodom. The life of the baptized - to be rooted and built up in Christ, Jesus the Lord - is to be rooted in prayer. God hears and answers prayer and so strengthens God's own. "When I called, you answered me; you increased my strength within me."

Join us for worship at 8:00 and 9:30 a.m.
