All singers are welcome to join the choir each Sunday for choir practice at 9:15 a.m.

The midweek Bible study on the women of the Bible will not meet on Wednesday, Oct. 1.

The Gospel lesson for this week is from Luke 16:19-31.

This part of the scriptures is the telling of the parable of Lazarus and the rich man. Jesus is once again challenging his followers to be countercultural— to be different—and go beyond.

Like the people in the story, believers today have Moses and the prophets and the risen savior, Jesus’ example to follow. Modern Christians have less of an excuse for not fulfilling the call for stewardship and caring for others. The knowledge and awareness need to be greater because believers have even more examples and guides for living their lives than the believers before them.
