Together in Faith: And Jesus said to them, “Take care! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.” Luke 12:15 How easy it is to measure our life by what we have, rather than by what we have given. Jesus once again invites us to use generosity as the ideal measuring stick. Lion’s Den August 7th: Raymond Marshall, will be celebrating his 96th birthday on August 3rd and his daughter, Marion, thought that it would be nice to have a Birthday Brunch for him with their wonderful new friends at St. Mark's on August 7th. There will be plenty of food for those attending both services so they are hoping that everyone will join in the celebration. They will be serving hot entrees, sandwiches, fruit, pastries and of course, birthday cake, Martinelli's cider and the usual beverages. Back to School Supplies: It’s that time of year again!

Together in Faith: “So I say to you, Ask, and it will be given you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you.” Luke 11:9 Today’s stewards sound the same as those of 2,000 years ago: “I will follow you wherever you go.” And today’s followers face the same challenges. How are we to follow Jesus? How are we to be faithful? How are we to live out the kingdom of God? Fr. Knight’s Birthday: We will honor Fr.

Together in Faith: Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a certain village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. Luke 10:38 Whether it’s a woman welcoming Jesus into her home, or Jesus welcoming someone into his presence, welcome is a constant Gospel theme. Welcome, invitation, openness, acceptance… these were hallmarks of Jesus’ interaction with people. Welcome is the hallmark of a steward, one who cares for and loves others as she or he loves and cares for God and self. How are we invited to be welcoming today? Liturgical Decorations: The flowers on the Altar are sponsored today by Jim and Gloria McManus in loving memory of her mom, Karen Louise Knowles-Ginsel, who passed away two years ago on July 7th.

Together in Faith: But wanting to justify himself, the lawyer asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” Luke 10:29 This well-known introduction to the Good Samaritan story asks a question as appropriate for us today as it was 2,000 years ago: who is our neighbor? And it’s no easier to answer now than then. Unfortunately, the answer we often hear today is, “Our neighbor is the one like us.” The point of Jesus’ story, of course, is exactly the opposite. The question does bear repeating: who is our neighbor? Liturgical Decorations: The flowers on the Altar are sponsored today by Jim and Gloria McManus in loving memory of her mom, Karen Louise Knowles-Ginsel, who passed away two years ago on July 7th.
