Rector's Reflections
|
Ready to Bear Witness
Where does power come from? The usual answers-family connections, reputation, possessions-are all rejected in this reading from Mark's gospel. Jesus' power is not only independent of his family connection-it is hindered by it. While it isn't entirely clear why the people of Nazareth reject Jesus, the fact that they do may sound familiar to us.
- How often do we find exactly what we expect when we encounter something new?
- How open are we, really, to the possibility that God's power might come from an unexpected corner?
Perhaps Jesus sends his disciples out stripped of their possession precisely so that they are ready to witness to God's power in a new way. They go without any of the usual trappings of security or wealth, with no guarantee that their ministry will be received. In fact, Mark reminds us a few verses later (Mark 6:14-28) just how hostile the world can be to receiving the proclamation of the kingdom of God. John the Baptist will lose his life because of Herod's resistance to repentance. Nevertheless, Jesus' teaching continues to astound, and the word continues to spread. [Sundays and Seasons, 2018]
The willingness to bear witness, even when we are not certain of answered prayer or mission success, is what we are called to. In the Epistle for Sunday (2 Corinthians 12:2-10), Paul's sometimes confusing logic about spiritual experiences becomes clear as he sums up God's word to him: "My grace is sufficient for you . . . ." That is a powerful word, which can make almost any experience an opportunity to witness to Christ's power.
Bearing Witness Together,
Bill+

Thank You!
|
Thanks to all who assisted with Anne Hunt's Memorial Service, from assisting with planning and set-up to welcoming and hosting more than 400 people as we commended her to God's eternal keeping.
Every time you cross my mind, I break out in exclamations of thanks to God. Each exclamation is a trigger to prayer. I find myself praying for you with a glad heart. I am so pleased that you have continued on this with us, believing and proclaiming God's message, from the day you heard it right up to the present. ~Philippians 1:3-5

Responding to the Generosity + Hospitality of God
|
Ministry Moments:
Responding to the Generosity + Hospitality of God
Blessed are you, O God, ruler of heaven and earth. Day by day you shower us with blessings. As you have raised us to new life in Christ, give us glad and generous hearts, ready to praise you and to respond to those in need, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen.
- Each of us has been gathered by God to be in community and share the gift of our authentic selves with others through All Saints Church.
- Each of us has been called to live a life reflecting and responding to the generosity and hospitality of God we know in Jesus.
- Each of us has been called to share ourselves in living out Jesus' command to love God and neighbor-this is stewardship
This summer at announcement time during worship, our stewardship team has asked a variety of individuals to share when and why they came to All Saints, how this faith community blesses and sustains them spiritually, and which activities or programs or ministries they share their gifts and blessings through. We hope these offerings will help us better understand who God has gathered to share the Good News and do God's work in this time and place.

General Convention and BCP Revision
|
From July 5 through July 13, the Episcopal Church will be meeting in Austin Texas for our General Convention. The General Convention, which governs the Episcopal Church meets every three years. Like the US legislature, there are two different groups: the House of Deputies, and the House of Bishops. During the convention, delegates will consider resolutions on a variety of important matters. One such matter is the possibility of a revision of our Book of Common Prayer.

Thursday Bible Study
|
Thursday Bible Study @ 3:00 pm + Eucharist @ 4:00 pm in the Beck Library
Join us as we explore the first letter of Timothy is written by the Apostle Paul to Timothy. We first meet Timothy in Acts 16, where we are told Timothy is a disciple, whose mother was a
believer (Acts 16:2). The believers in the area spoke well of Timothy, and Paul took Timothy along on the on-going mission of preaching the Gospel and planting and strengthening churches (Acts 16:3-4). The letters of 1 & 2 Timothy reveal a strong relationship, in which Paul has trained and encouraged Timothy in church leadership, and in particular in preaching and teaching.
