![Prepare your heart for worship this Sunday, July 6, 2025:
God is the source of our nourishment. Jesus’ invitation to “take and eat . . . take and drink” is a repeated one. In holy communion, in the word read and proclaimed, in the assembly of the people of God, the dominion of God has come near. Rejoice! Your name is written in heaven.
This week's Readings and Psalm:
Isaiah 66:10-14 - Jerusalem, a nursing mother giving life to her children; Psalm 66:1-9 - All the earth bows down before you and sings out your name. (Ps. 66:4); Galatians 6:[1-6] 7-16 - Do what is right now and reap at the harvest time; Luke 10:1-11, 16-20 - Jesus sends out seventy disciples into the harvest
Worship starts at 9:30 am (staffed nursery opens at 9:00 am).
