Worship for Sept. 19

Here is the liturgy we used on Sunday, September 19. It’s interesting how the readings from the Bible, which we think are all warm and fuzzy, are actually pretty challenging. As long as are paying attention…. Peace be with you all. Worship for September 19, 2021

September 28 – Genesis

The longest story in the book of Genesis is the story of Joseph. This continues in chapter 39. But the Lord was with Joseph and showed him steadfast love; he gave him favour in the sight of the chief jailer.  The chief jailer committed to Joseph’s care all the prisoners who were in the prison, and whateverContinue reading “September 28 – Genesis”

September 22 – Genesis

The story of Genesis continues. Today we look at part of chapter 25. These are the descendants of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebekah, daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan-aram, sister of Laban the Aramean. Isaac prayed to the Lord for his wife, because sheContinue reading “September 22 – Genesis”

September 18 – Genesis

Thanks for joining us in reading through the book of Genesis this month! Today’s passage is found in chapter 15.

The End of Easter

This was not the Easter season we were looking for. And as it draws to a close, we still cannot see the end of the pandemic. But we still cannot see the ending of hungry children in our world. Or violence against people who are different, simply because they are different. Or murdered and missingContinue reading “The End of Easter”
