August 18 – Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost

1 Kings 2:10-12; 3:3-14  |  John 6:51-58

In 1 Kings 2:10–12; 3:3–14, Solomon becomes king, and is a fine exemplar of a wise person with his request for the gift of discernment. People listening to Jesus, struggle to discern his message in John 6:51–58. Just as God provides wisdom to Solomon, Jesus provides spiritual nourishment to the people. Together, these passages affirm the centrality of God’s gift of wisdom in the life of faith. Our scriptures remind us through encouragement, example, prayer, and story, to take care and remain attentive to the way of God, the way of wisdom.

The Rev. David Cooney will be preaching and leading worship. We will celebrate our annual Blessing of the Backpacks.
