Ninth Sunday After Pentecost

The call of this week’s Scripture readings is to learn to see God’s Spirit within each person and in our community as a whole. We learn to see in this way as we each seek to follow the Good Shepherd.  We are called not only to follow the Good Shepherd, we are called to live as good shepherds for all we meet and in so doing allow God to build us into … a community … of grace and love in which God’s Spirit "lives" and moves and changes lives. May you experience God’s sending and God’s provision both as you worship and as you go out to live the mission of Christ in your daily life.
