This Week For this Sunday the scripture reading is Matthew 20:1-16. The sermon title is "Earning God’s Grace?" In this parable of Jesus we read about the vineyard owner who hires groups of laborers periodically throughout the day but pays everyone the same wage. This is a great reminder that we don’t have to compete for God’s grace. It is a free gift! Announcements: Choir Performance The choir will sing in worship on Sunday, Sept. 21. That’s this Sunday!
