July 6, 2025

Out Lectionary Readings for this Sunday are 2 Kings 5: 1-14; Psalm 30; Galatians 6:1-16; Luke 10:1-11, 16-20.

There is no denying that Paul's Letter to the Galatians has its challenging features. Charles Cousar gives a helpful overview:

"At the beginning of Galatians, Paul speaks of the gospel's radical invasion of his own life, an invasion that resulted in the overthrow of the life he had regarded as exemplary (1:11-17). In the center of Galatians, it becomes clear that this radical invasion applies not to apostles alone but to all believers (3:27-29)., for whom the customary divisions between humans are no longer acceptable. As the letter concludes, the final card is revealed: the gospel is nothing less that a cosmic change, a 'new creation' indeed!"

We will share together in the Observance of Holy Communion the first Sunday of July, July 6. 

We will have a brief meeting of the Session after worship on July 13.
