Scripture: Matthew 18:12-14

God loves people so much that God will leave behind 99 to search for just one. Let that sink in… God loves people so much that God will leave behind a large group, just to pursue the one! Even when we mess up, even when we have doubts, and even when we are broken and incomplete, God loves us so much that God pursues us. God brings us back into God’s love. And, when we come back into this love, God celebrates. This is how much we are loved! Today, thank God for loving us enough to seek us, even when we wander away.

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.
