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.
