WELCOMES YOU!!
The Twenty-Second Sunday after Pentecost
Today's gospel starts with disciples obsessing over who's number one, which leads Jesus to say something about God's take on importance and power. Here Jesus makes it explicit that the reversal of values in God's community is a direct challenge to the values of the dominant culture, where wielding power over others is what makes you great. When we pray "Your kingdom come" we are pryaing for an end to tyranny and opression. We pray this gatherred around the cross, a sign of great shame transformed to be the sign of great honor and service.
Reformation Sunday
Reformation Sunday will be celebrated on Sunday, 28 October. On this day we celebrate the heart of our faith: the gospel of Christ---the good news---that makes us free! We pray that the Holy Spirit would continue to unite the church today in its proclamation and witness to the world. In the waters of baptism we are made one body; we pray for the day that all Christians will also be one at the Lord's table.
Reformation Day - Wednesday, 31 October
By the end of the seventeenth century, many Lutheran churches celebrated a festival commemorating Martin Luther's posting of the Ninety-five Theses, a summary of the abuses in the church of his time. At the heart of the reform movement was the gospel, the good news that it is by grace through faith that we are justified and set free.
All Saints Day
1 November
The custom of commemorating all of the saints of the church on a single day goes back at lest to the third century. All Saints celebrates the baptized people of God, living and dead, who make up the body of Christ. We remember all who have died in the faith and now serve God around the heavenly throne.
