Ninth Sunday After Pentecost
Good morning, Wicker Park. I am thankful to be among you once more, to share a Word from the Triune God, to commensurate, in our common fears, worries and yes, even anger. To gather at the table, to be fed, forgiven and then, to actually do the work that Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord left for us. That’s what it means, in that spiritual to keep our lamps trimmed and burning, because there is still a fight before us…
Baptism of Our Lord
Grace and peace to you,
My sisters
Brothers
And
Siblings in Christ.
As we travel,
Down to the river
To pray,
Let’s allow the Word
To immerse us in
Sink us in
The Goodness of God
Into the many paths
The Creator lays out before us.
Good Lord,
Show us the way
O Beloved,
Let’s go down,
Come on down
Down where Jesus wants
Down into the river
In the water
To witness
And experience
Redemption
And
Love.
Amen.
Twelfth Sunday After Pentecost
Good morning, I bring you greetings from your fellow sisters, brothers and siblings in Christ, Of Body and Soul U Chicago Campus Ministry, at Augustana Lutheran Church, where we are committed to living out our faith, through concrete action, because who are we to tell someone, that they should just pound the pavement until they find a job, when we know that the system is corrupted, and instead, we give of ourselves not only through sacred worship but the sharing of sacred food, that should always come without price, and cost.
