In Sunday’s readings, Jeremiah and Luke use fire as a metaphor for God's word and presence. This powerful imagery depicts God's word not just as comforting but as a force that can disrupt our lives, challenging us to grow and change. Jeremiah speaks of God's word as a force that exposes and breaks down falsehood, while Jesus speaks of His mission as one that will ignite change and provoke deep personal and societal transformation.

Our deacon in training, Ron Spinelli, is returning to Christ Church Ithan and will be leading worship this Sunday.

Blessings,

Fr. Karl
