From the Pastor - September 22, 2024
Greetings in the name of Jesus! Well, I am pretty much on a
high after last Sunday's church picnic. The attendance was great
and I am hopeful that we will be able to make this an annual
event. It is always great when both congregations can get
together as one! Our next opportunity will come at
Thanksgiving when we will have our service this year in
Lynchburg.
This coming Sunday we continue our readings both in the
book of James as well as the Gospel of St. Mark. We will be
hearing James warn against selfish ambition, while in the
gospel, Jesus' disciples quarrel over which one of them is the
greatest. Jesus tells them the way to be great is to serve. Then, to
make it concrete, he puts in front of them a flesh-and-blood
child. We are called to welcome the children God puts in front
of us, to make room for them in daily interaction, and to give
them a place of honor in the assembly. May God bless you all!
