Some images from our Peace Mural.  The mural was designed by local artist, Dawn Korman with help from First Trinity Kids during Jesus and Justice Camp.  Thanks to Dawn and Alex for all of their work!

This Sunday

In today’s gospel many people take offense at Jesus’ invitation to eat his flesh and drink his blood; even many of Jesus’ disciples peel off. This is the backdrop in John’s gospel for Peter’s confession of faith. “To whom can we go?” asks Peter, in words we sometimes sing just before the gospel is read. “You have the words of eternal life.” In order to take such a stand, as Peter and Joshua did, Paul tells us to arm ourselves with the word of God. We pray in the Spirit that we might be bold ambassadors of the gospel.

Readings: Joshua 24:1-2a, 14-18, Psalm 34:15-22, Ephesians 6:10-20 , John 6:56-69 
Our next #MoralMondaysIL action is coming up Monday.  Click for details. 
Pr. Tom, Ben and Vicar Toby went to visit Connie this week.  If you are interested in visiting Connie, Dolores, or any of our seniors, talk to Pr. Tom.
