Scripture: Matthew 19:29-30

When you think of winning, what do you think of? Most think of first place, trophies, etc. Yet Jesus says the opposite. What does that mean for us in a world obsessed with achievement, first place, beating everyone else? It means we might need to re-imagine what’s truly important to Jesus. How are you putting others before yourself? How are you trying to understand the imbalance of equity? Do you have a heart for those for whom Jesus has a heart?

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.
