Our Lectionary readings for next Sunday, the sixth Sunday after Epiphany, are Leviticus 19:1-2, 9-18; Psalm 119:33-40; 1 Corinthians 3:10-11,16-23; and Matthew 5:21-37.

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus does something similar to what C. S. Lewis described:

"If you ask twenty good men today what they thought the highest of the virtues, nineteen of them would reply, 'Unselfishness.' But if you asked almost any of the great Christians of old he would have replied, 'Love.' You see what has happened? A negative term has been substituted for a positive, and this is more than of philosophical importance."

We will have a congregational meeting in the next three to six weeks.
