Sixth Sunday after Pentecost Pastor Jenny McLellan, preaching

The theme of the Day:

The mystery of God’s ways is sometimes hidden from the wise and intelligent Jesus associates with those often excluded from the religious community. Like Paul, we struggle with our own selfish desires and seek God’s mercy and forgiveness We gather to be refreshed by Christ’s invitation: “Come to me, all you that are weary. ” Gathered around word, water, and meal, we find rest for our souls
