14th Sunday after Pentecost

…if you offer your food to the hungry and satisfy the needs of the afflicted, then your light shall rise in the darkness… Isaiah 58:10

We’re going to think about “justice” on Sunday. The line above is taken from the inspiring passage from Isaiah 58: 9-14 which is the first reading for the day.What is justice? How do we use the term? What meaning does justice have in our daily lives? How is the word used by Americans? What is justice as a term of our biblical faith?

No reading and weeding for the confirmation students this Sunday. Your affirmation garden continues to grow. The sunflowers are giants. Good work!
