Grace: It's Our Way of Life

As Episcopal Christians we
Worship at home daily and together weekly;
Study the Scriptures, our tradition, and what it means to be a disciple today;
Serve our families, our parish, and our world in the name of Christ.

Everything we do is done with an ethic of Welcome
because we are only here by Grace.

Redeeming Laughter - 24th Sunday after Pentecost - 7 November 2015

The Rev David Lillvis proclaims Jesus observation of a widow’s giving in the light of humor. Can we integrate a sense of humor in living the life of Christ. He notes that humor loosens us up, calls us into community, and gives us healing for new possibilities in life.


The Collect

O God, whose blessed Son came into the world that he might destroy the works of the devil and make us children of God and heirs of eternal life: Grant that, having this hope, we may purify ourselves as he is pure; that, when he comes again with power and great glory, we may be made like him in his eternal and glorious kingdom; where he lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
