Dear friends,
THIS SUNDAY Deaconess Beth Chittim will be leading us in worship.
IN SUNDAY’S GOSPEL LESSON we witness an exchange between Jesus and the Pharisees and the Herodians. Once again the religious leaders are trying to entrap Jesus and question his integrity. Instead, they are shown to be the hypocrites they are as Jesus challenges them (and us) to look critically at how we live out our faith in the world.
