The Readings for this Sunday
Proper 15 Track 2
In our first reading God speaks through the prophet: this is a God lofty and distant as well as near, and God knows the lies of the false prophets. In Jeremiah’s time there were many individuals who appointed themselves prophets. They said the Lord was close to them, and they relied on dreams for their inspiration. They told people the comfortable things they wanted to hear and led them into false worship. But the words of the Lord are words of judgment to the people, like scorching fire or a hammer on rock.
God pronounces judgment on the heavenly beings who have failed to defend the weak and the poor. The people call on the one true God to judge and rule the earth.
In this New Testament lesson Jesus the promised one has opened access to the Father in ways previous generations longed to see. The righteous men and women of former days performed all their deeds in faith, true to God and to such revelation as they had received. Now disciples are to set aside distractions and surmount every obstacle, encouraged by the witness of the faithful ancestors and walking confidently in the way forged by Jesus through the sacrifice of the cross.
In our gospel passage Jesus foresees difficult times ahead: his own ordeal and the necessity of division even within families. He has come to bring the purifying fire of judgment, and must himself first undergo the baptism of suffering and death. Before there is any peace on earth, hard decisions leading to ruptures have to be made. The people should be like good weather-watchers in reading the signs of the times.

Collect for Sunday
Almighty God, you have given your only Son to be for us a sacrifice for sin, and also an example of godly life: Give us grace to receive thankfully the fruits of his redeeming work, and to follow daily in the blessed steps of his most holy life; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
Amen.
~BCP 232

Did you receive
"Beyond the Hill"
last week? Beyond the Hill is my attempt to inform you about events and programs:
- sponsored by parishes in our diocese,
- sponsored by our diocese,
- occurring within Province 8 of the Episcopal Church,
- sponsored by The Episcopal Church,
- occurring within the Worldwide Anglican Communion.
Similarly, when our Bishop Susan or other bishops (including the Presiding Bishop) write letters for distribution I will link to them in our Beyond the Hill Newsletter.
Beyond the Hill also seeks to keep you connected to the many ways we Episcopalians/Anglicans are “doing the work God has given us to do … as faithful witnesses of Christ our Lord.” (BCP 366, adapted)
~Fr. Dan

To be noted now: Listening Sessions
Bishop Susan has scheduled a series of
listening sessions
to be held around the diocese the week of September 23 through September 30. She writes:
"These listening sessions are part of my work in getting to know the diocese more completely. With the help of an outside facilitator who will moderate the sessions I will listen to your thoughts about opportunities for community building, your hopes, dreams, and concerns that will lead us into clearer discernment around God’s call to us and our ministry in our communities."
The nearest session to St. Hugh's is in Palm Springs on Monday, September 30. Sessions will be from 7 to 9 p.m. Registration is required.
The complete story and registration information are
