Gospel:
Children’s Sermon:
Sermon:
St. Alban’s Family: Again this week, Sunday “Sermons” included a children’s sermon. There was a serious glitch this week — no recorder — but several gracious congregants used their phones to record the proceedings. Their contributions were synchronized, filtered and mixed to provide a reasonable facsimile of the usual sound system; regrettably, that process delayed the distribution of this third sermon in a series on the book of Jonah.
For 2023 (year A), the readings for the 18th Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 21) are:
OT Lesson | Ezekiel 18:1-4,25-32 |
Psalm | Psalm 25:1-14(15-21) (Coverdale) |
NT Lesson | Philippians 2:1-13 |
Gospel | Matthew 21:28-32 |
Children’s Sermon:
Prelude:
Sermon:
St. Alban’s Family: Yes, you read that subject line correctly: “Sermons” is plural. There is no gospel reading for today, because the chalicist, who would normally record it, was doubling as one of the acolytes assisting at the gospel reading. However, this second week of a sermon series on the book of Jonah includes a children’s sermon — and a sermon prelude with (befitting the Jonah story) a lost-and-found theme — in addition to the sermon.
For 2023 (year A), the readings for the 17th Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 20) are:
OT Lesson | Jonah 3:10-4:11 |
Psalm | Psalm 145:14-21 (Coverdale) |
NT Lesson | Philippians 1:21-27 |
Gospel | Matthew 20:1-16 |
For this Sunday, September 17, an initial problem with the recorder was resolved during the service. The problem meant loss of the gospel and children’s sermon, but it was fixed in time to record essentially all of the presentation introducing a new sermon series. Readings for the 16th Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 19) were:
1st Lesson (from Apocrypha) | Sirach 27:30-28:7 |
Psalm | Psalm 103 (Coverdale) |
NT Lesson | Romans 14:5-12 |
Gospel | Matthew 18:21-35 |
The sermon is attached, the first in a series on the book of Jonah: “Mercy in the Mess, The Life and Times of Jonah.”
St. Alban’s Family: There were problems with the recording for September 10 that proved unsolvable, so there was no sermon distribution for last week. However, the readings for the 15th Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 18) were:
OT Lesson | Ezekiel 33:1-11 |
Psalm | Psalm 119:33-48 (Coverdale) |
