Debts Are Tossed

Having Words with Jesus

Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost, Year C

Worship needs a vision that looks first to God and then to community within and then to the world beyond the walls. We are driven by the question, “How do we share this gift of faith?” We are constantly seeking ways to be a witness to the treasure we have found, to the joy we live.

In this four-week series, we are called to spend some time in Jesus’ presence. Here we set aside time to intentionally listen as we try to understand the more difficult passages of the Bible that we sometimes want to skip over. The music for this series should be a combination of praise as well as reflection and centering with the final sending forth song as a reminder to keep listening throughout the week.
