Ninth Sunday After Pentecost, July 30, 2023, 10:45 A.M. Sunday Worship Service

<p>God&#39;s blessings to you and all whom you love! Thank you for joining us for worship today, and for participating in whatever ways you feel most comfortable and connected. During our worship time we will share music, prayer, Scripture readings, and a message that works to connect the Scripture readings to life in our world today. We want you to know that you are a blessing to this world, a beloved child of God, and a cherished sibling in Jesus. You are made in the image of God, and therefore are beautiful just the way you are. You are loved unconditionally by God, and you can never separate yourself from God&#39;s love or perfect grace. You are worthy of being, mercy, grace, and love. We hope that you always feel welcomed and loved when you are with us, whether in-person or online, and we hold you in prayer for your challenges and your celebrations. Today we continue in our summer sermon series, &quot;Family Reunion,&quot; and are going to be looking at our second example of sibling rivalry this summer in a story featuring two sisters and two tricksters.</p>
