Greetings on this Fourteenth Sunday After Pentecost.

Only one Sunday morning service for the summer throughout the month of August and including September 6th.

The Gospel passage from Matthew is a continuation from last week's Gospel.  Please read verses 16: 21-28;  in it Jesus outines the cost of discipleship in a simple yet profound way.  What does it mean to you living in 2026 to take up the cross?

To view readings for this week and the entire year, please use this link to the common lectionary.  https://lectionary.library.vanderbilt.edu/ (You might have to select the correct Sunday).
