Greetings on this Twentith Sunday After Pentecost.
- 8:30 am – Holy Communion - BCP
- 10:00 am – Holy Eucharist - BAS
Rev’d John invites you to open your Bibles to the Gospel of Luke 18: 9-14. Jesus unfolds a parable featuring two individuals who are diametrically opposite. This parable challenges us to decide where we fit into this narrative. And most importantly, this passage outlines the importance of humility in discipleship.
