St. Alexander Church

Welcome to everyone joining us this weekend to our St Alexander Church community! It’s a blessing to have you with us, and we’re excited to share in this sacred time together.

As we reflect on our readings this weekend, let’s immerse ourselves in the rich teachings of our faith.

First Reading: 2 Kings 4:8-12, 14-16

We encounter the Shunammite woman, whose hospitality toward the prophet Elisha offers us a beautiful model of generosity. Her willingness to welcome him into her home reminds us of the importance of opening our hearts and homes to others, just as Christ welcomes each of us.

Second Reading: Romans 6:3-4, 8-11

St. Paul speaks to us about the transformative power of our baptism. This sacrament unites us with Christ in His death and resurrection, inviting us to live a new life filled with grace. It’s a profound reminder that we are not just followers of Christ; we are called to be witnesses of His love in the world.

Gospel from Matthew 10:37-42

Jesus teaches us about the cost of discipleship. He emphasizes that our acts of kindness - like offering a cup of cold water - are significant in His eyes. Each gesture of love and hospitality is a reflection of our faith and commitment to living as Christ’s disciples.

As we gather to worship, let’s allow these messages to inspire us to be agents of Christ’s love and hospitality in our community. Your presence here enriches our faith family, and together, we can grow in holiness and service to one another.

Thank you for being here. Let us lift our hearts in prayer and praise as we celebrate this Eucharist together!

May this weekend fill you with peace and joy, and may we all grow together in faith and fellowship. You are always welcome. Come as you are. You are home!
