7th Sunday after Pentecost
|
Jesus does great deeds of power and gives his disciples authority over demons. Yet none of this power is unilateral; it all must be received by faith. Jesus asks his disciples to go out without money or supplies, so that they will be dependent on how others receive them. When we are sent from the assembly to witness and to heal, we are asked to be vulnerable, to be dependent on the reception of others. The Spirit always operates in the between: between Jesus and his Abba, between Jesus and us, between you and me, between us and those to whom we are sent.

We had 29 new windows installed in our church this week. Mostly in the office and the educational wings. Some of the windows replaced were 40 plus years old and others were badly weather beaten. These new windows were made possible due to the generous gift of Joan Hinton.
It is expected that these double pane windows will reduce out utility bills and the noise level where they were installed. They also look very nice.
