August 25 – Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost

Psalm 84  |  John 6:56-69

Together, this week’s readings remind us of the mutual indwelling of God in us and us in God. Psalm 84 celebrates the temple as a dwelling place for God. “How lovely is your dwelling place” sing the pilgrims as they enter the temple in Jerusalem. They have reached this place of prayer, preparation, and sustenance. In John 6:56–69, Jesus’ own disciples seem to be offended by his teachings, yet Peter recognizes that in Jesus is the “Holy One of God.” In Christ, a dwelling place of God, they have found their home and strength to go on when others have turned back.

The Rev. Kirstin Shrom-Rhoads will preach and lead worship. We will also honor the milestone ordination anniversaries of Rev. Fred Wenner, Rev. Robert Manthey, Rev. Kirstin Shrom-Rhoads, and, posthumously, Rev. Dr. Gerry Hanberry.
