Good Shepherd Lutheran Church

Its All Saints Sunday. A Sunday we take to remember those people in our faith lives that have been a source of inspiration and who now rest in God’s eternal care. And how curious we are about what that heavenly care looks like! Maybe thats understandable. But Jesus wants to give us something different and more life-giving to reflect on when it comes to the life hereafter. Join us and listen in…

Zacchaeus may have been a wee little man. But today he proclaims for us a huge and momentous truth about…housekeeping? Well sort of. At least not the kind of housekeeping that requires a dust rag and a mop. So join us today as we celebrate reformation from a different perspective.

The coming reign of God will involve unexpected reversals of fortune with judgment rooted in mercy. Today we hear Jesus tell a parable in which the one who humbles himself is exalted and the one who exalts his own righteousness is humbled. Also, thanks to Pastor Tim for leading us in worship today, while Pastor Eric is away in meetings with the BC Synod.

We’ve heard life with God described in many ways. As a walk of faith. As a journey with Jesus. As resting in God’s love. But a wrestling match? Maybe that closer to the truth than we would care to admit sometimes. On this Sunday that we give thanks for and support the ministry of our National Church we explore this unconventional metaphor and the blessing it promises.

What do you think it means to be content? I’m sure there are many answers to that question. Jesus tells us a story today that might make us re-think some of those answers. And he points to a vision of contentment that can be unsettling. At least for us, at first blush. But look a little closer and it may come into fuller view. And lead us into a deeper joy.

So what do a shady businessman, a dishonest manager, and a fortune made from ill-gotten gains have to do with being good stewards of creation? It’s not a joke! But maybe it’s a way of understanding one of Jesus’s most perplexing parables. Come and see.

Who among us hasn’t lost something? Or known the stress of frantically searching for it? And the joy and relief of finding it again? We all have. But what about when the thing thats become lost is a part of God’s creation? Do we have the same enthusiasm for that kind of search? And if not, why not? Today we hear some lovely and surprisingly subversive parables of Jesus about losing and finding. And listening to what he has to say just might be a matter of life and death.

Also, today in Rally Sunday! Following the service we will gather for lunch together. Sandwiches and salads will be provided and we’ll have an ice cream bar too. Then to cap off the day we’ll have a little fun with “Edible Treat Bingo” to raffle off some delectable treats contributed by our own members.

“Vocation” is a word we’ve often heard. It’s really just another word for calling. Which is itself another word for work. And so today we will hear a member of our congregation speak about the relationship between their work and their faith. And then we’ll hear about our calling to listen to the voice of creation on this first Sunday in the Season of Creation. So…lets get to work!
