The parables that Jesus used to teach can mislead us if we read too much or too little into them. Pastor Russ uses the parable of the wicked vineyard workers from Matthew 21:33-46 to help us hear a word of warning from Jesus for ourselves. However, as always, there is also a word of grace.
Join us for 29 minutes of prayer, scripture, and a number of favorite hymns, preaching and communion. You may choose to participate, or simply meditate as we tell of Jesus' invitation to "do this in remembrance of me." If you would like to share with us at the table that goes beyond earthly boundaries of time, place, and structure, we ask that you prepare a piece of bread of some type and a drink such as grape juice, wine, or water. As we pray, our prayers extend to where you are. If you are unable to eat or drink, you may want to use a symbolic gesture or mental symbol as you come together at this table of remembrance with us.
