September 8 –Rejoice in Our Welcome Sunday | Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost

James 2:1-17  |  Mark 7:24-27

The first lesson, James 2:1-17, relates the responsibilities of Christians, emphasizing charity as a sign of living faith. In the Gospel lesson from Mark 7:24-27, Jesus is encountered by a Syrophoenician woman who earnestly asks him to heal her daughter. Though the woman and her daughter are Gentiles, Jesus reaches out in compassion and heals the daughter.

We will celebrate Rejoice in Our Welcome Sunday! We will commission and bless those leading Christian education and formation for the coming year. Spirit will be sharing in music leadership this morning.
