SUNDAY WORSHIP This Sunday in the Christian Church Calendar is called The FifthSunday after Pentecost.Jesus does great deeds of power and gives his disciples authority over demons. Yet none of this power is unilateral; it all must be received by faith. Jesus asks his disciples to go out without money or supplies, so that they will be dependent on how others receive them. When we are sent from the assembly to witness and to heal, we are asked to be vulnerable, to be dependent on the reception of others. The Spirit always operates in the between: between Jesus and his Abba, between Jesus and us, between you and me, between us and those to whom we are sent.
THIS SUNDAY’S READINGS Ezekiel 2:1-5 Psalm 123 2 Corinthians 12:2-10 Saint Mark 6:1-13
THIS SUNDAY’S PRAYER OF THE DAY God of the covenant, in our baptism you call us to proclaim the coming of your kingdom. Give us the courage you gave the apostles, that we may faithfully witness to your love and peace in every circumstance of life, in the name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen.
Greetings from Arusha
Hello from Arusha, Tanzania. We hope this finds you all well. We are having a phenomenal experience here. The people of Selian Lutheran Hospital and their many friends have been so gracious to us. The work they are doing to transform the lives of people in this country is deeply inspiring. We hope you will continue to keep them all in your prayers. A web site has been created of our travels around this city. It can be found at:
We'll continue to post pictures and reflections as we are able. We hope these glimpses of life in Tanzania will give you an idea of what we have been up to this week. And I look forward to the chance to tell you more about what we've learned and experienced once we get back.

Bishop's Message on Evangelism
"Proclaim the message; be persistent whether the time is favorable or unfavorable ... do the work of an evangelist ... " (2 Timothy 4:2a, 5b)
Dear sisters and brothers in Christ, "Bishop Hanson, what is your number one priority for the ELCA?" The question was addressed to me recently with great clarity and a desire for specificity. My answer? That we be an evangelizing church. The questioner nodded with what I took to be a gesture of agreement and walked away. I am curious how my questioner would have responded to his own question. And I am interested in your response. I wish we could have had further conversation, because the question is both important and urgent. The urgency was brought home again this week by the Chicago Tribune headline that read, "Many in U.S. leave their churches."
The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) selected Denver for a pilot campaign to strengthen the identity of the Church. Ads featuring everyday items fashioned into a cross conveyed in a graphic way that the ELCA shares God's boundless love with the world. That is most evident as our faith intersects with real life. Ads were featured on billboards, bus shelters, bus sides, newspapers and websites. The full series of ads and their stories can be viewed at www.elca.org/love We hope that this advertising campaign was useful in providing conversation starters -- opportunities to share with friends and aquaintances what your faith (and your participation in a Lutheran church) means to you.
