September 29 – Faith and Democracy Sunday | Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost
1 Corinthians 1:18-31 | Mark 9:38-50
Our Gospel reading for this Sunday is from Mark 9:38-50. In a cultural context where who is in, who is out, and who is right is an important concern, the first disciples find themselves preoccupied with another who is not a part of their group.
Today we recognize Faith and Democracy Sunday, a time of worship and mobilization to call on citizens to vote in the 2024 General Election organized by the Justice and Witness Action Network of the Central Atlantic Conference UCC around faith and democratic principles of valuing and affirming the voice and dignity of all, especially “the least of these” among us. We will also hear from Marj Berkheimer as part of our Season of Stewardship. The Senior Choir will sing.
Livestream 10:30 AM Worship Service
ERUCC also holds a healing worship service with Holy Communion at 8:30 AM.
