Message From Father Karl

The Gospel reading for this Sunday comes from Luke 15, often referred to as the "Lost and Found" chapter. In this chapter, we find three stories about something that was lost and then found: a lost sheep, a lost coin, and a lost son. However, this Sunday, we will only hear about the lost sheep and the lost coin. In each story, God is the seeker, and we are always the ones who are found.


These stories are comforting and remind us of the loving God who goes all out to find and love us. I look forward to discussing these stories with you. In addition to this great chapter in Luke, we will be singing my favorite hymn, George Herbert’s “King of Glory, King of Peace.” I can’t wait to see you on Sunday.


Blessings, Fr. Karl

Dear Friends,


With sadness, I write to let you know that longtime parishioner Barry Tague died Saturday. The funeral is scheduled for Sunday, October 5th. Visiting at 12Noon, Service of the Resurrection at 1 pm. Please keep Barry, Dode, Kim, Nancy, Skip, EJ, and the entire Tague family in your prayers.


God of all, we pray to you for Barry and those we love but see no longer. Grant them your peace; let light perpetual shine upon them; and in your loving wisdom and mighty power, work in them the good purpose of your perfect will. We pray also, for all who mourn; that they may know the consolation of your love through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.



Peace,

Father Karl
