Welcome!
The readings on Sunday, July 14, 2024 (Proper 10B) continue the story of David as he moves the Ark of the Covenant to the City of David (Jerusalem). Psalm 24 gives praise to God and celebrates the King. In worship we start to read the Letter to the Ephesians as the Apostle sets out his vision of life in Christ. The Gospel of Mark tells the story of the death of John the Baptist.
We* had a long discussion on Psalm 24. The essay we read posed two questions we pass along to you:
How often do we approach worship, not with God in mind, but the week we have had?
How many times do we leave worship worried, not if we have worshiped God, but if we have been spiritually fed?

*Most Wednesday mornings a group of us gather online to explore the readings that will be used in worship the following Sunday. This week’s handout features readings, commentaries, and notes for the Eighth Sunday after Pentecost (July 14, 2024) in Year B of the Revised Common Lectionary. Please: View or download the handout we used to guide our discussion and tune our hearts to the Spirit.
