  • Reminder for the 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time, October 19, 2025

    ByRosemary

    Exodus 17:  Moses’ hands, however, grew tired; so they put a rock in place for him to sit on.  Meanwhile Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side and one on the other, so that his hands remained steady till sunset.
    2 Timothy 3:  Remain faithful to what you have learned and believed, because you know from whom you learned it, . . .
    Luke 18:  For a long time the judge was unwilling, but eventually he thought, ‘While it is true that I neither fear God nor respect any human being, because this widow keeps bothering me I shall deliver a just decision for her lest she finally come and strike me.'” 

     

    A message from Cody:
    Thank you all for doing what you did and for those of you who made it to the service for sure. It was a very heartfelt event to say the least.

     

     

    One purpose of feasting is to get back in touch with the earth that sustains us, to glorify the God that made it and to pledge ourselves to save the land that grows our food.
