11:00 am Regular Sunday Services and Sunday School

All are welcome! Please join us.

And a beautiful, glorious, gorgeous, most wonderful (insert your own superlative adjectives here) Friday to you. On this, the waning morning and afternoon of Summer, we await the arrival of the beauty of Autumn. Autumn officially arrives here in our neck of the woods at 4:02 p.m. In the meantime, I do hope you get out to enjoy this amazing summer weather.

We are invited to gather in community this Sunday to be in relationship with one another and with God. We continue our journey with God as we hear scripture readings from the Book of Exodus, Chapter 16, verses 2 thru 15 and from the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 20, verses 1 thru 16. In our reading from Exodus, the people have been freed from slavery and led by Moses and Aaron, they have crossed the Red Sea and are now in the wilderness. But, but, but they are an unhappy lot. Complain, complain, complain they do. Complaining is also a theme in our Gospel reading. It does make one wonder, is complaining a natural trait of human beings? When things aren't going our way, when we think we have been wronged, when we think others are getting more than us, is it our natural tendency to complain? Surely there is a top 10 list of complaints in there (surely there is!). My sermon has the title of "Well, that Party was Short-lived!" Let us join together to hear God's living words for us this day.

Wherever you are this day and weekend, may you know God's presence and give thank's to the Holy for the blessings showered upon us.

Blessings
