We experienced audio problems during the service, we apologize for the inconvenience.
In Isaiah we hear that God’s house shall be a house of prayer for all people and that God will gather the outcasts of Israel. The Canaanite woman in today’s gospel is a Gentile, an outsider, who is unflinching in her request that Jesus heal her daughter. As Jesus commends her bold faith, how might our church extend its mission to those on the margins of society? In our gathering around word and meal we receive strength to be signs of comfort, healing, and justice for those in need.
We welcome Alyssa Sanders who will be giving today’s message. A member of St. Paul's, Alyssa is a sophomore at the University of Delaware and was very active in our churches' shared Youth ministries.
