This week, we’re hanging out at the corner of faith and justice!
There are thousands of intersections in Cape May. Think about intersections near you: What intersection is the most remarkable to you? When is the intersection the busiest with traffic or pedestrians? Why not take a photo of your intersection to share with us on Sunday?
Consider our corner at Seashore and Academy Roads. For hundreds of years, our intersection has been a gathering place, a sending place, and a safe place for neighbors to enjoy at the Red Brick Church and the beautiful cemetery campus. Cold Spring Church is at the crossroads of community activity.
This week we will hear Jesus’ story about a widow and a judge from Luke 18 who find themselves at a crossroads. Why did she go to the judge at night? What does Jesus want us to learn from the judge’s decision even though he hated God and people? Join us at the corner of Faith Avenue and Justice Street this Sunday, where we find Jesus looking for an intersection of faith and justice in our lives, too. What will you find there?

Worship begins with singing God Welcomes All. Barbara Cain will sing There is a Longing in Our Hearts. The refrain of this sung prayer describes why we pray, and the stanzas indicate what we pray for. These requests are not for possessions but for qualities and conditions we hope for in the world around us, and they emerge from the changing circumstances of our lives.
After the message we will enjoy the music lyric video by 7eventh Time Down, I Have Decided.
Our sending music is David Haas’ Come! Live In the Light (We Are Called), based on the well-known challenge of Micah 6:8, “What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” Our theme of faith and justice is the musical center about our vocation as follows of Jesus.
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.

How much is that now? We do more and more double-takes as meat and other grocery costs rise. Supply chain issues, labor shortages, high product demand across the U.S., and the global response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine have contributed to excessive price hikes. Inflation is hitting everyone, but low-income households are feeling the pinch even more, especially as wage increases for many workers fail to keep up with inflation. Is gratitude increasingly difficult to express? As we deal with sticker shock, everybody agrees the price we most prefer is FREE! Everybody wants free!
A lot of the services we depend on are free. Companies, though, are trying to figure out how to start charging. But once we get used to free, its tough to accept the idea we need to pay now! Researcher Russ Roberts of George Mason University even found that many WWII vets were still upset when they recalled when the Red Cross stopped offering free donuts. Get the rest of that story and more this week as we explore the Good News from the prophet Jeremiah and Jesus. Invite a friend because it will be a Gratitude Free-For-All at Cold Spring Church!

Our lyric video Open the Eyes of My Heart, Lord, can be everyone’s prayer, especially those seeking to be open to God’s grace to nurture a spirit of gratitude. As the world we live in gets more complex and distracting, we need to cling to God’s saving presence in Christ and ask that the eyes of our hearts would be open to see the beauty of life.
The closing hymn Live Into Hope was written for the United Presbyterian Women’s National Meeting in July 1976 because the team planning worship could not find a suitable melody for the reading from Luke 4:16-20. Jane Parker Huber wrote the words with this lively 18th century tune in mind.
