O God, heavenly Father, who by thy Son Jesus Christ hast promised to all those who seek thy kingdom, and the righteousness thereof, all things necessary to their bodily sustenance; Send us, we beseech thee, in this our necessity, such moderate rain and showers, that we may receive the fruits of the earth to our comfort, and to thy honor; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

There are some drizzles, but no severe weather. It looks like we’ll have an opening to share God’s love with our neighbors, so we’re pressing forward.

See y’all at 10a at the church as we press forward and proclaim the good news of God’s favor and his reign as King and Lord of all! Jesus is Lord!

We are watching the weather for our time of community outreach tomorrow. Look here for updates in the morning and get with Fr. Michael if you’ve got any questions.

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? - Matt 5:44-46

Don’t forget! We will not have Potluck or Evening Prayer tonight.

We’ll be out in the neighborhood on Saturday and back to our normal Wednesday schedule starting next week.

Check the calendar to stay updated on all our activities.

We’re ready to meet our neighbors! Join us on Saturday 9/16 or 10/7 at 10a as we go out into the neighborhood to share our ministry.

We’ve got — the very handsome — flyers. All we need is you!

Nota bene: We will not have Potluck or evening prayer this Wednesday, 9/13, as Fr. Michael will be at a retreat in PA.

There is nothing better for a man than that he should eat and drink and find enjoyment in his toil. This also, I saw, is from the hand of God; for apart from him who can eat or who can have enjoyment? Ecclesiastes 2:24-25, RSV

How To Actually Celebrate Work on Labor Day is a great article from The Institute for Faith, Work & Economics.

God created us for work, community, and relationship with him.
