 Proclamation
While most of us are familiar with the Sermon on the Mount, we might know less about the version that appears in Luke. It is often called the Sermon on the Plain because Jesus delivers his message on level ground. The two sermons have many similarities but also some notable differences. Both begin with beatitudes, for example, but the versions of these blessings have much to say about each Gospel writer’s audience. Take a look and see what you think. We will focus our attention on Luke’s version which makes clear that power and blessing are not located where our culture (and their’s) typically imagines.
text: Luke 6:17-26

Music
At the 9:00 worship the choir will sing “Expectans Expectavi” by Charles Wood (1866-1926), an Irish composer and teacher, whose students included Ralph Vaughan Williams and Herbert Howells. Although the anthem has a Latin title, the text in English was written by Scottish poet, C. H. Sorley who fought and died in World War I and is known for his war poems.
 
Susan Wegner will play a piece for cello and piano from “Five Pieces in a Folk Style” by Robert Schumann at the 11:00 worship. Her selection will be No. 2, Langsam.
