This week, we’re hanging out at the corner of faith and justice!

Our political, community and personal conversations often contain criticism without grace and accusations without evidence. Looking at others with contempt in our economic and political climate seems to be easy for us. From social media to the corner deli, judging the offenses of those around us is second nature. Why do we hold others in disdain? In our Gospel lesson this week, Jesus introduces us to two individuals at the temple. One gave thanks for not being like those despicable others, and the second humbly asked God for mercy. From Despicable 2 Incredible is Pastor Kevin’s message from Luke 18:9-14 as we learn about skyscrapers and our uniqueness. How can we eliminate the corrosive nature of contempt? What must we do to get out of the habit of expressing disdain, both in our relationships and, more broadly, as a nation?

We begin with our Fall countdown to worship video that sets the theme for our experience today. God welcomes all of us, right now, without exception! Beverly Mate will sing O Savior, In This Quiet Place, accompanied by Jayne McDonough. Following the message we will be moved by an energetic music lyric video, Chief of Sinners Though I Be, recalling our Gospel lesson about spiritual humility and the astonishing good news that Christ brings us. Our sending hymn is Fight the Good Fight which may appear to be a military theme, but in fact is an athletic one, from a Greek verb meaning “struggle” or “grapple” or “wrestle.” The sports context continues in later stanzas reflecting the experience of a runner (recalling Hebrews 12:1-2).
Whatever your religious affiliation, or none at all, we all hear Jesus say, “Come to me all who are overburdened, and find rest for your soul!” Everyone is welcome at Cold Spring Church. Yes, everyone!
Enjoy sitting with others from greater Cape May as we worship together. We simplified our service and made it even easier to participate, with our Worship Guide and lyric videos displayed on a large screen.
