6th Sunday After Pentecost

This week it’s all about listening … to God’s word … and to living it out in compassion, integrity, and mercy … which requires listening to others. This can be harder than it sounds with all the noise that bombards us each day. That’s why the discipline of worship is so important. It gives us the time and the space to learn the practice of listening well.  As we listen to God’s message and implement God’s saving reconciling word through simple acts of mercy, compassion and a commitment to truth and integrity, that we find ourselves living out the reality of God’s reign in our lives and our world. May your listening abilities be enhanced by your worship this week.
