August 2nd - 10th Sunday after Pentecost , Year A
Readings - Isaiah 55:1-5, Psalm 145:8-9, 14-21
Second Reading - Romans 9:1-5 , Gospel - Matthew 14:13-21
In today’s first reading God invites all who are hungry or thirsty to receive food and drink without cost. Jesus feeds the hungry multitude and reveals the abundance of God. At the eucharistic table we remember all who are hungry or poor in our world today. As we share the bread of life, we are sent forth to give ourselves away as bread for the hungry.
August 9th- 11th Sunday after Pentecost , Year A
First Reading - 1 Kings 19:9-18, Psalm 85:8-13
Second Reading - Romans 10:5-15, Gospel - Matthew 14:22-33
Elijah finds the presence of God not in earthquake, wind, or fire, but in the sound of sheer silence. When the disciples face a great storm on the sea, they cry out with fear. Jesus says: “Take heart, it is I; do not be afraid.” Amid the storms of life, we gather to seek the calm presence of Christ that soothes our fears. In comforting words of scripture and in the refreshing bread and cup of the eucharist, God grants us peace and sends us forth to be a sign of God’s presence to others.
August 16th - 12th Sunday after Pentecost , Year A
Readings - Isaiah 56:1,6-8, Psalm 67
Second Reading - Romans 11:1-2a, 29-32 , Gospel - Matthew 15: (10-20) 21-28
In Isaiah we hear that God’s house shall be a house of prayer for all people and that God will gather the outcasts of Israel. The Canaanite woman in today’s gospel is a Gentile, an outsider, who is unflinching in her request that Jesus heal her daughter. As Jesus commends her bold faith, how might our church extend its mission to those on the margins of society? In our gathering around word and meal we receive strength to be signs of comfort, healing, and justice for those in need.
August 23rd - 13th Sunday after Pentecost, Year A
Readings -Isaiah 51:1-6, Psalm 138
Second Reading - Romans 12:1-8, Gospel - Matthew 16:13-20
In Isaiah the people are advised to look to their spiritual ancestors as the rock from which they were hewn. Jesus declares that the church will be built on the rock of Peter’s bold confession of faith. God’s word of reconciliation and God’s mercy are keys to the church’s mission. Paul urges us to not be conformed to this world but to offer our bodies as a living sacrifice, using our individual gifts to build up the body of Christ. From the table we go forth to offer our spiritual worship through word and deed.
God’s Work. Our Hands. God’s World. Our Neighborhood. All are Welcome. Come Share the Spirit
August 30th - 14th Sunday after Pentecost , Year A
Readings - Jeremiah 15: 15-21 , Psalm 26:1-8
Second Reading - Romans 12:9-21, Gospel - Matthew 16:21-28
The prophet Jeremiah speaks of the incurable wound of his suffering yet finds in God’s words the delight of his heart. When Peter doesn’t grasp Jesus’ words about suffering, Jesus tells the disciples they will find their lives in losing them. Such sacrificial love is described by Paul when he urges us to associate with the lowly and not repay evil with evil. In we gather as a community that we might offer ourselves for the sake of our suffering world.
September 6th - 15th Sunday after Pentecost , Year A
Readings - Ezekiel 33:7-11, Psalm 119:33-40
Second Reading - Romans 13:8-14, Gospel - Matthew 18:15-20
Conflict is a part of relationships and life in community. Jesus’ words in today's gospel are often used in situations having to do with church discipline. The prophet Ezekiel tells of warning the wicked to turn from their ways, and Paul reminds us that love is the fulfilling of the law. We gather in the name of Christ, assured that he is present among us with gifts of peace and reconciliation.
September 13th - 16th Sunday after Pentecost, Year A
Readings - Genesis 50:15-21 , Psalm 103 (1-7) 8-13
Second Reading - Romans 14:1-12, Gospel - Matthew 18:21-35
In today’s second reading Paul questions why we judge one another, since we all stand before the judgment of God. Yet we do sin against one another, and Jesus’ challenge that we forgive seventy-seven times reveals God’s boundless mercy. When we hear the words of forgiveness in worship and sign ourselves with the cross, we are renewed in baptism to be signs of reconciliation in the world.
Our Bishops:
The Rt. Rev. Phyllis Spiegel, Episcopal Dioscese of Utah and
The Rev. Meghan Johnston Aelabouni of the Rocky Mountain Synod.
