Celebration of Life - Erika Pinkham
We had a celebration of the life of Erika Pinkham and eucharist at the church Saturday September 25th, remembering a wonderful mother and grandmother of strong faith. Psalm 34 tells us the Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and though there were broken hearts among us, there was also celebration that Erika has gone to be with the Lord, which as Saint Paul himself told us, is much better.

Many Are Called
The Gospel for this 20th Sunday after Trinity is Matthew 22:1-14 about the Kingdom of God. Yes, God is a king, and he is sovereign over his kingdom. He calls to mankind to turn to him with our hearts, souls, strength and minds, as he called to his Jewish people (Dt. 6:4-5). Unfortunately, our human history has from the beginning involved our rebellion, our refusal to love the Lord our God in this way, with harmful consequences to individuals and societies. Those who respond to God's call, however, have assurance of blessings in this life and forever.
