A MESSAGE FROM SENIOR WARDEN TOBY PUGH
To my brothers and sisters in Christ, greetings. I wish to encourage you in all things, and most of all in love. (Wait a minute! We’ve heard that before.)
Here’s the deal folks. We are called to be loving to each other, and to guests who join us. As we see an uptick in Covid 19, particularly with the Delta Variant, we know there is still much that we do not know. What is clear is that we do know how to show our love and compassion for others by continuing the loving use of face masks, of social distancing and of limiting direct contact.
This Sunday we are reinstituting sign-in sheets for both services, for coffee hour and for Bible study. This will help us with contact tracing in the event of an active case.
I also want to remind everyone that services are at both 8:00 AM and at 10:30 AM. Coffee hour is between the services. And a very lively Bible study takes place at 9:30, convenient for attendees of each service, with the real option of still having coffee in hand. At present we do not have enough volunteers to extend coffee hour after the 10:30 service. Further, if the volunteers do provide snacks they must be individually wrapped, and it appears unlikely that such an effort will always be possible for the foreseeable future. Anyone interested in volunteering to be coffee hour hosts, or to provide individually wrapped snacks, please call Elizabeth Baker or email office
Thank you.
Toby Pugh, Sr. Warden.

The Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost
Mark 9:30-37
Jesus and his disciples passed through Galilee. He did not want anyone to know it; for he was teaching his disciples, saying to them, “The Son of Man is to be betrayed into human hands, and they will kill him, and three days after being killed, he will rise again.” But they did not understand what he was saying and were afraid to ask him.
Then they came to Capernaum; and when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you arguing about on the way?” But they were silent, for on the way they had argued with one another who was the greatest. He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, “Whoever wants to be first must be last of all and servant of all.” Then he took a little child and put it among them; and taking it in his arms, he said to them, “Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes not me but the one who sent me.”
