Greetings on this Second Sunday After Pentecost

8:30 am Holy Communion

10:00 am Holy Eucharist

Reverend John encourages you to prayerfully read the Gospel passage from Matthew 9:9-13, 18-26.  This is a multi-layered passage with three distinct faith episodes.  The word "suddenly" appears twice, and it changes the flow and direction fo the narrative.  What part of this passage do you find most striking?

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).

The Hymns for this Sunday are printed below.  Please google to go over ahead of time.

  1.    Processional Hymn:     Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee
