October 12 – Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost
10:30 AM, Worship with Holy Communion in Sanctuary and Livestream
Jeremiah 29:1, 4-7 | Luke 17:11-19
Our readings invite us into the twin practices of faithful presence and radical gratitude. Jeremiah counsels exiles to bloom where they’re planted, to seek the flourishing of even unwelcoming places. Jesus’ encounter with ten lepers becomes a story about recognition and response: one foreigner sees clearly what nine miss entirely. How do we live as people of hope in difficult circumstances? What would it look like to live with the kind of gratitude that changes everything?
We welcome our German friends from Inden-Langerwehe this morning. Spirit will share in music leadership this morning.
ERUCC also holds a healing worship service with Holy Communion at 8:30 AM.
