We gather on the 9th Sunday after Pentecost
August 10 –  10am worship
“Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also”  Luke 12:34

Pastor Greg Ronning Presiding

Jesus says, “It is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.”  It is God’s promise from the beginning – to Abraham, to the early church, and to the “little flock” of which we are a part in today’s assembly.  Faith, God’s baptismal gift, trusts the promises of God.  Have no fear.

We gather on the 7th Sunday after Pentecost   
July 27 –  10am worship

“Lord Teach us to Pray”  Luke 11:11

Persistence in prayer is encouraged by Jesus and wins the attention of God when Abraham interceds for Sodom. The life of the baptized – to be rooted and built up in Christ Jesus – is to be nurtured with prayer. God hears and answers prayer and so strengthens God’s own. “When I called, you answered me; you increased my strength within me.”

We gather on the 5th Sunday after Pentecost
July 13 –  10am worship

“Who is my neighbor?”  Luke 10:29

To love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, strength, and mind is to reflect God’s mercy in responding to one’s neighbor.  That mercy found its most profound expression in the “gospel that has come to you” – namely the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.  That gospel mercy comes to us again today:  at the font, at the table, and from the pulpit.  It is very near to you.
