However, in this weekly newsletter find information and invitations to explore worship opportunities near and far. Find resources of prayer, study, and inspiration for action. Explore ways to connect with other Jesus-followers as you continue to "grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ." (See

The Fifth Sunday After Pentecost
Proper 9
Our opening reading is a prophecy of great hope and salvation for Jerusalem: her triumphant but humble king comes to rule. This vision of the victorious yet lowly messiah riding on a young ass derives from ancient rituals in the holy city. Several hundred years before Jesus’ time the prophet Zechariah looked forward to a time of restoration for his people and a magnificent new king. His peaceful dominion will reach from the great river (the Euphrates, but mythically the river of paradise) to the ends of the earth.
A hymn of praise to the Lord, who is mighty in deeds yet tender and compassionate.
In this lesson Paul continues to wrestle with the question of the role of the law. Although the law is good in principle, without God’s saving act in Jesus, it only produces more sinfulness. Paul feels two strong and opposing tendencies within his being. Without the new relationship of faith through Jesus, the regulations of the law only cause the tendency to break the law to grow stronger. Paul speaks of this as a tendency of his flesh, by which he means all within him that does not seek faithful obedience to God.
In our gospel lesson Jesus compares his generation to capricious children, equally displeased by the austere message of John the Baptist and the inviting message of Jesus. Yet God’s wisdom will prevail. Jesus bids all to come and find that the yoke of his teaching is easy to bear. The disclosure of the divine will comes as God’s gracious gift, not through human knowledge. Especially intimate is the relationship between the Lord of all life and Jesus—that of Father and Son. Although he is the Son, Jesus is humble of heart and gentle.

As we continue "Safer At Home," perhaps visiting a church you might otherwise never visit appeals to you. Hear what the Spirit is saying to God's people; make a
"spiritual communion" with those gathered and celebrating with you online.
