Worship services at Trinity UMC, St. James UMC, and Sprucetown UMC are cancelled. We will have a smaller gathering at 10am via Zoom.

Last week we walked into the temple and watched Jesus flip the tables that blocked worship and exploited the vulnerable. Today we move to another table, one less made of wood and coins, and more made of image, appearance, and religious pride. Jesus flipped the table of religious respectability.
He traded appearance for authenticity, position for compassion, reputation for mercy.
