I’m thankful for All Souls and for each of you that strive to make us a welcoming community of Faith – as our scripture reading in Romans asks us to be!

This weeks readings:
Take time to mediate on God’s word and prepare for worship this Sunday.
Jeremiah 15: 15-21
Psalm 26:1-8
Romans 12: 9-21
Matthew 16: 12-28
Romans 12: 9-13
Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honor. Do not lag in zeal, be ardent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints; extend hospitality to strangers
Paul continues to try to teach us how to live the Christian life. It again comes down to LOVE – loving others, even strangers And loving God with zeal and rejoicing. May each of us be able to experience this kind of transformation living.

Sunday, September 14 is our 1st Annual Homecoming Sunday! We have had so many people come though our doors in the past – some to visit, some stay until life or circumstances change, and some of our regulars have had some very busy summers with traveling, visiting family, and so forth. Well everyone is welcome to join us once again, even if its just a visit – we miss you and would love to see you in worship at 1 pm. Come say hi to friends and family – new and old!
We love sharing our concerns and praises with each other during worship. It allows us as a family of faith to share our struggles, pray for our needs, and give praise for God’s grace. We hope that you also take the weekly list of prayer requests from the bulletin and continue to pray over the list during your devotions.
We will have prayer request forms in the pews with the offering envelopes. Please fill this out as your preparing for worship. Then when its time for Community Concerns; hand these to the clergy who will then place them on the alter to offer them up to God during the prayer time. This will also allow us to add the new requests and praises to our prayer list. If you can’t be in worship – please feel free to send prayer requests to be added to our printed list to the church email address.
We have added a link “Prayer Requests” to the “Links to” section to the left. Please click on this for an updated prayer list.
