Greetings on this Nineteenth Sunday After Pentecost.

  • 8:30 am – Holy Communion-BCP
  • 10:00 am – Holy Eucharist-BAS

Rev’d John encourages you to open your Bibles and read the passage from the Gospel of Luke 18: 1-8.  This passage reminds us of the importance of praying always and never losing heart.  In this tumultuous world in which we live, this passage is especially relevant.

To view readings for this week and the entire year, please use this link to the common lectionary.  https://lectionary.library.vanderbilt.edu/

The Hymns for this Sunday are as follows:  If possible look them up on Google or Youtube and listen to them.

  1. Processional Hymn:             Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee
  2. Gradual Hymn:                     Seek Ye First The Kingdom of God
  3. Offertory Hymn:                    O Master, Let Me Walk With Thee
  4. Recessional Hymn:              Go Make a Difference
