February 8 – Fifth Sunday after Epiphany
10:30 AM, Worship with Holy Communion in Sanctuary and Livestream
Isaiah 58:1–9a (9b–12) | Matthew 6:1–14
As Jesus continues the Sermon on the Mount, Matthew’s Gospel turns our attention to prayer, generosity, and the shape of a faithful life. In teaching the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus offers more than words to recite, he gives his followers a way of trusting God daily, seeking forgiveness, and aligning their lives with God’s reign. Isaiah’s call to a faith that loosens injustice and restores community echoes this prayerful vision. Together, these texts invite us into a faith that is sincere, embodied, and rooted in God’s sustaining grace.
The Rev. John Shillingburg will be preaching and leading worship. Ann Thompson will be our guest pianist. Spirit will share in music leadership.
ERUCC also holds a healing worship service with Holy Communion at 8:30 AM.
