Gospel lesson for August 22, 2010

Luke 13:10-17

Now he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath. And just then there appeared a woman with a spirit that had crippled her for eighteen years. She was bent over and was quite unable to stand up straight. When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said, "Woman, you are set free from your ailment." When he laid his hands on her, immediately she stood up straight and began praising God. But the leader of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had cured on the sabbath, kept saying to the crowd, "There are six days on which work ought to be done; come on those days and be cured, and not on the sabbath day." But the Lord answered him and said, "You hypocrites! Does not each of you on the sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from the manger, and lead it away to give it water? And ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham whom Satan bound for eighteen long years, be set free from this bondage on the sabbath day?" When he said this, all his opponents were put to shame; and the entire crowd was rejoicing at all the wonderful things that he was doing.

Community

Our Saviour's Eucharistic-centered community is an eclectic mix of original church founders, young families, and people representing many racial and cultural traditions around the world. Our unity in Christ is most visible at Sunday morning worship, but it is nourished and formed throughout the week in our parish programs and through our leadership. Day by day, God's action in this community inspires, nurtures, and equips us to reach out to the world in Christ's name.

Who We Are

To stand at our altar on a Sunday morning and look out over the gathered worshippers is to see the people of God in all their variety. Our congregation is a microcosm of the whole Anglican Communion, and our members come from over 35 nations from around the world. We are also diverse in other areas: life-long members worship alongside brand-new babies. Our vocations in the world range from attorney to government worker to health care professional to beautician to professor to homemaker to travel agent. And many of our members are retired after long and successful careers.

In our parish survey, respondents said our diversity is both our greatest strength and our greatest challenge. But we are unified in our diversity as we gather in communion each week at the Lord's table. Parishioners reside in suburban Maryland, the District of Columbia, and Virginia. They also come from England & other parts of Europe; St. Kitts & other Caribbean islands; China, India & other Asian territories; Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Liberia & other African countries; Madagascar; El Salvador, Mexico & other countries in Latin America; and various other places.
