Luke 12:13-21 | Remember when it was race to get toilet paper or disinfectant wipes from stores at the beginning of the pandemic? Though a memory some of us would rather forget, the urge to “stock up” amidst uncertainty for the sake of ourselves speaks to a parable Jesus tells of a rich man. In keeping his grain for himself, he was able to eat, drink, and be merry, but it was at the expense of his neighbors. Join us for worship as we consider what we are tempted to hang onto for ourselves, and as we are reminded of God’s grace given to us in baptism: freeing us to fully live in relationship with Christ and with our neighbors.
