October 18th - 21st Sunday after Pentecost , Year A
Readings - Isaiah 45:1-7, Psalm 96:1-9(10-13)
Second Reading - 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 , Gospel - Matthew 22:15-22
In today’s first reading God uses the Gentile ruler Cyrus to accomplish divine purposes. When the Pharisees try to trap Jesus, he tells them to give the emperor what belongs to him and to God what belongs to God. To gather for worship reminds us that our ultimate allegiance is to God rather than to any earthly authority. Created in the image of God, we offer our entire selves in the service of God and for the sake of the world.
October 25th- 22nd Sunday after Pentecost , Year A
First Reading - Leviticus 19:1-2, 15-18, Psalm 1
Second Reading - 1 Thessalonians 2:1-8, Gospel - Matthew 22:34-46
Jesus’ summary of the law in today’s gospel echoes our first reading from Leviticus. We are called not only to love God with heart, soul, and mind, but also to love our neighbor as ourselves. It is out of such deep care that Paul shares the gospel with the Thessalonian community. In the confession of sins, we acknowledge that we have not loved God, neighbor, and self; yet we gather to hear the word of forgiveness and to be strengthened by word and meal to be signs of God’s love and mercy in the world.
November 1 - 23rd Sunday after Pentecost , Year A
Readings - Revelations 7:9-17, Psalm 34:1-10
Second Reading - 1 John 3:1-3 , Gospel - Matthew 5:1-12
All Saints celebrates the baptized people of God, living and dead, who are the body of Christ. As November heralds the dying of the landscape in many northern regions, the readings and liturgy call us to remember all who have died in Christ and whose baptism is complete. At the Lord’s table we gather with the faithful of every time and place, trusting that the promises of God will be fulfilled and that all tears will be wiped away in the new Jerusalem.
God’s Work. Our Hands. God’s World. Our Neighborhood. All are Welcome. Come Share the Spirit
November 8th - 24th Sunday after Pentecost , Year A
Readings - Amos 5:18-24 , Psalm 70
Second Reading - 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10, Gospel - Matthew 25:1-13
Today the prophet Amos calls for justice to roll down like waters. Paul urges us to encourage one another with the promised coming of the Lord. Jesus tells the parable of the wise and foolish bridesmaids. Surrounded by the faithful of every time and place, we celebrate Christ’s coming in our midst in the word of life and the feast of victory—the marriage feast of the Lamb.
November 15th - 25th Sunday after Pentecost , Year A
Readings - Zephaniah 1:7,12-18, Psalm 90:1-8(9-11)
Second Reading - 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11, Gospel - Matthew 25:14-30
Our readings during November speak of the end times. Zephaniah proclaims that the coming day of the Lord will be filled with wrath and distress. Paul says it will come like a thief in the night and urges us to be awake and sober. Jesus tells the parable of the talents, calling us to use our gifts, while we still have time, for the greater and common good. In a world filled with violence and despair, we gather around signs of hope—word, water, bread, and wine—eager to welcome the good news of Christ’s coming among us.
November 22th- Christ the King Sunday, Year A
Readings - Ezekiel 34:11-16 , Psalm 95:1-7a
Second Reading - Ephesians 1:15-23, Gospel - Matthew 25:31-46
On this final Sunday of the church year our gospel is Jesus’ great story of judgment. In the end, the faithful are those who served Christ by ministering to those who are poor, hungry, naked, sick, or estranged. In the first reading God is the shepherd who seeks the lost, weak, and injured and feeds them with justice. We gather this day to celebrate the reign of Christ and his victory over death, yet we await the consummation of all things yet to come. Acknowledging Christ as our merciful ruler, we go forth that his reign may be known in our loving words and deeds.
Our Bishops:
The Rt. Rev. Phyllis Spiegel, Episcopal Dioscese of Utah and
The Rev. Meghan Johnston Aelabouni of the Rocky Mountain Synod.
