YEAR A
The Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost
Scripture: Matthew 18:15-20
Dear Trinity Family,
Happy early Labor day everyone! It is a weekend to rest and give thanks for the work that we do that is paid or unpaid. There is so much that we do that is not recognized by money or by gratitude from others. God sees it, though. God sees all you do and honors it. God is cheering you on and also providing a place for you to rest from your labors. On this Labor day weekend, what will it look like for you to rest in God? To honor all the work you do that is seen or unseen by others and then to finally relax in the palm of God's hand?
Rev. Kate
THE GOSPEL Matthew 18: 15-20
Jesus said, “If another member of the church sins against you, go and point out the fault when the two of you are alone. If the member listens to you, you have regained that one. But if you are not listened to, take one or two others along with you, so that every word may be confirmed by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If the member refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if the offender refuses to listen even to the church, let such a one be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector. Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Again, truly I tell you, if two of you agree on earth about anything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.”
