This Sunday in worship, Pastor Julie preaches the message “Teaching Jesus” from Matthew 15:21-28. In this story, Jesus encounters the Canaanite woman who opens up a new dimension in Jesus. This story invites us to consider how the call of Christ to us means pushing old boundaries, embracing outsiders, and opening ourselves to the “other.” Additional lectionary texts are Psalm 133 and Romans 11:1-2a, 29-36.
The Chancel Choircontinue their summer break, and we welcome Antony Zwerdling, baritone as our cantor and soloist.
