Scripture: Joshua 1:1-9

In today’s Scripture, Joshua has just taken over for Moses in leading the Isrealites to the Promised Land. He has some big shoes to fill. Naturally, he has his doubts and fears. However, God reassures him. God tells him to be strong and courageous, for God is with Joshua wherever he goes. We too have moments in our lives in which we feel like we are not enough for the task God has given to us. Though, like Joshua, God calls us to have courage, and promises to be with us wherever we go.

Holy Eucharist

Sunday, August 14, 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM

Worship in the Episcopal Church rests on scripture and the traditions of the elegant language of the Book of Common Prayer. While the worship might seem more formal than spontaneous, we reliably read scripture every time we worship together, and we follow the liturgy that has stood the test of time. Our worship is in letting the liturgy carry us along into a deeper spiritual awareness and connection with God.
