July 31, 2022——8th Sunday after Pentecost—-Rev. Patrick Mecham Colossians 3: 1-11; Luke 12; 13-21 I was walking our dog one day when I noticed a man coming toward me on the opposite sidewalk. He stumbled and FELL flat on his face! I rushed across the street to see if he needed help, and he managed to climb back up on his feet just as I got there.
