Please join us for worship this Sunday, September 1, the Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost. We’ll have one Service of Holy Communion with Holy Baptism and the Reception of New Members in the Sanctuary and Online at 9am. Jackie Kuba will be our supply organist, this Sunday. Pease note that the parish office will be closed on Monday for the Labor Day holiday. This will be the last Sunday for 9am services – beginning Sunday, September 8, we will have two services, one at 8am and one at 10:30.
Jesus protests against human customs being given the weight of divine law, while the essence of God’s law is ignored. True uncleanness comes not from external things, but from the intentions of the human heart. Last week Jesus told us “the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life” (John 6:63). Now James says God has given us birth by the word of truth. We who were washed in the word when we were born in the font return to it every Sunday to ask God to create in us clean hearts.
