Scripture: Matthew 20:15-16

How often do you think about what you deserve? Have you ever said to someone giving you something that isn’t yours in the first place, “That’s not fair?” We do that a lot. We think we are owed something based on what others are given. It’s an important lesson to learn that fair and just don’t always mean the same thing. Fair is a subjective term. God is not fair, God is just. And we are called to work toward justice, fully understanding that others may need more than we do.

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.
