Laity Sunday is a day set aside to remember and lift up a constant reality: the priesthood and ministry of all. Every person on the planet is invited to share in God’s community of healing, love, justice, and world repair.
Laity Sunday is a special Sunday defined by General Conference “to celebrate the ministry of all Christians.” Laity Sunday is one way we express the core Christian conviction that all are called to participate in God’s mission to create healthy, flourishing life in the world.
This year, the emphasis is on discipleship and healthy words that encourage love and abundant life together.
But first, we need to acknowledge the pain and distress we are in over the violence erupting in what we call the Holy Land.
Jerusalem means the City of the Peace of God. And once again, there is out right war in its streets and environs.
Weekly Scripture: Matthew 6:24-34 & Matthew 10:1,5-14
