This Sunday (19/7) Divine Service will begin at 11.00am.
The Gospel reading will lead us to reflect on our desire to get away from all the stresses and demands of everyday life - especially those demands that come from those 'need' us. Jesus and His disciples experienced this desire as well - the need to take time out. Like us however, no sooner did Jesus decide to take time out than He was confronted once again by the needs of the people. As He looked at them, we're told He had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd and so He began to teach them.
On Sunday we'll be thinking about what it means that Jesus' compassionate response to the needs of these people was to teach them and what this means for us as we seek His compassion as well.
God's peace,
Pastor Matt
