Seventh Sunday of Easter, Year C

​Greet all the people! Greet one another with a holy kiss! All the churches of Christ greet you.
 
Our Romans reading this week is like a roll call. So many names, and so many descriptions. But all
are offspring of God, all are coworkers. The names are delicious. Imagining them all in their work: the joy and the difficulty. Adronicus and Junia are “eminent among the apostles, and they were in Christ before I was.” Apostles had seen the risen Christ, and were not limited to the chosen disciples, or men. And so many saints, workers and companions of Paul. What a full and fruitful and diverse life. And it all began with a small movement, small as a mustard seed. The seed grows into a full tree that flourishes along with the birds that use it for their nests.

As we gather for worship, may we be a people and a place for flourishing, seeing Christ in all we meet and greet.This morning at 10:00am in-person or online.
 
Readings: Acts 17:22-18:4 † Psalm 149:1-6 † Romans 16:1-16 † Luke 13:18-30
