Don’t let the weather fool you – it was a great day for
worship at St. John’s! We continued to have newcomers and visitors today – even
had the blessing of a 20 month old cooing and being a little boy. New
perspectives of the stories in the Bible – We focused on Jeremiah and Jesus
specifically. Jeremiah helped Israel in troubled times to remember that they
were still in connection with God and would be redeemed - in the end – when their
work of remembering was completed.
Readings: Jeremiah 29:1, 4-7; Psalm 66:1-11; 2
Timothy 2:8-15; Luke 17:11-19
In worship, we looked at Jesus and the 10 lepers from a new
perspective. We shared our space with more visitors again this week and we
delved into Luke as we took a look at the Gospel lesson about Jesus and the 10
lepers in Samaria. We wondered how the lepers might have diverted Jesus from
his mission in Jerusalem, if only long enough to remember his mission to bring
healing and reconciliation to the entire world in the here-and-now. I invite
you to listen and offer your comments.
Where are you being diverted or distracted from your mission
to do a more pressing mission here-and-now?
Peace,
Les+
