We do ask that for indoor activities all guests wear a mask and for indoor food service events please, for your own safety, and that of others, be vaccinated.
LUCAS COUNTY MASK RECOMMENDATION Lucas County has entered a
higher level of Covid-19 delta variant transmission and is now recommending that
all people wear masks at indoor settings. We leave it to the discretion of
congregants whether to wear a mask at worship, but do recommend it especially, if
you are unvaccinated, or vaccinated, but immune-compromised because of an
underlying condition. We continue to recommend that unvaccinated folks, for their
own safety and that of those around them, worship with us online on our Facebook
page until such time as you are fully vaccinated.
NO CAMERA ZONES IN SANCTUARIES
For those who do not wish to be on camera for our live casts we have a new
policy. In the lower church the camera will only pan the piano side of the
sanctuary. In the main sanctuary the camera will not pan the baptismal font
transept. For Holy Communion distribution the camera will focus on the musician
or an inspirational image in the sanctuary.
For your safety we urge you not to attend until you have received a full vaccination including the two week waiting period. We do not wish to put anyone’s health at risk.

There are many thoughts to ponder from this sermon....but here are just 2; Drawing distinctions in people (if it weren't for these people we would be happy) and in today's gospel Jesus said (and we are paraphrasing) it is not what goes into your mouth but what comes out.
Todays lessons: Isaiah 56:1, 6-8, Psalm 67, Romans 11:1-2a, 29-32, Matthew 15: 10-28
