The Heirloom of our Faith
~~~
This letter encourages the fledgling church, reminding it that God, who saves and calls, is faithful and trustworthy in good times and bad. Paul is described as a herald (one who proclaims a message), an apostle (one who is sent), and a teacher (one who helps others to grow in the faith). The faith is that “good treasure” entrusted to Timothy and the early church – and to all of us.
It is a gift of God to guard and to share, with the help of the Holy Spirit.
Let's gather for Breakfast Church and guard and share our gift of Sanctuary!

Prayer for the 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Gracious God, thank you for all those whose faith and witness have enlightened us and brought us closer to you. Strengthen us by your Spirit that we may encourage the faith of others. We ask in the name of Christ, our Redeemer and guide. Amen.
