Dear Parish Family,
We are quickly closing in on the end of the long "Season after Pentecost," with just today and next Sunday left. Our readings for this week, the 25th Sunday after Pentecost, include Malachi 3:16-4:2a, Psalm 98, 2 Thessalonians 3:6-13, and Luke 21:5-19. In the readings we already begin to hear the overtones of Advent, with dire predictions about the end of time.
In the midst of those dire warnings we hear the best news – truly unbelievable news – that we are God's treasured possession. Though our righteousness is as filthy rags, we are God's treasure! We are treasured – blessed, not so we can boast, but so we, in turn, can be a blessing.
Our church exists to bless others by helping them know Jesus. On Sunday we will be sharing important information about the future of the parish. Please stick around to hear it. You won't want to miss "being in the know!" The meeting will be short, and a light lunch will be served.
Faithfully in Christ,
Becki+
