The Eleventh Sunday After Pentecost - Sunday, Aug. 21, 2022
Dear Church, welcome to worship. Luke’s Gospel brings before us a healing story this weekend as we gather for the Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost. As is often the case, the language employed is multi-layered: “you are set free”, he says to the woman he meets in the synagogue. What does this “being set free” really mean? How is Christ’s proclamation active in our lives today as well? Attributions: Evangelical Lutheran Worship, Holy Communion Setting One. Portions from Sundays and Seasons.com.
