The Ten Commandments
World Communion Sunday
Then God spoke
all these words:
I am the Lord
your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of
slavery; you shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for
yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or
that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You
shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will
not acquit anyone who misuses his name. Remember the sabbath day, and keep it
holy. For six days you shall labor and do all your work. Honor your father and
your mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God
is giving you. You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall
not steal. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. You shall
not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or
male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your
neighbor.
When all the people witnessed the thunder and
lightning, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking, they were afraid
and trembled and stood at a distance, and said to Moses, "You speak to us,
and we will listen; but do not let God speak to us, or we will die." Moses
said to the people, “ o not be afraid; for God has come only to test
you and to put the fear of him upon you so that you do not sin."

We were not allowed to take pictures once we passed the
gate,
but Craig gave me permission to take pictures of the guests
to use for thank you notes.

WOW!!!
Some
of our (wimpy) yoga group bade farewell to Carma (kneeling).
She
and her husband are moving to Tucson where she, hopefully,
won’t
have to use her oxygen.

[And Jesus
said:] "Listen to another parable. There was a landowner who planted a
vineyard, put a fence around it, dug a wine press in it, and built a
watchtower. Then he leased it to tenants and went to another country. When the
harvest time had come, he sent his slaves to the tenants to collect his
produce. But the tenants seized his slaves and beat one, killed another, and
stoned another. Again he sent other slaves, more than the first; and they
treated them in the same way. Finally he sent his son to them, saying, 'They
will respect my son.' But when the tenants saw the son, they said to
themselves, 'This is the heir; come, let us kill him and get his inheritance.'
So they seized him, threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him. Now when the
owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?" They said
to him, "He will put those wretches to a miserable death, and lease the
vineyard to other tenants who will give him the produce at the harvest time."
Jesus said to
them, "Have you never read in the scriptures:
'The
stone that the builders rejected
has
become the cornerstone;
this was
the Lord's doing,
and
it is amazing in our eyes'?
"Therefore
I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a
people that produces the fruits of the kingdom. The one who falls on this stone
will be broken to pieces; and it will crush anyone on whom it falls."
When the chief
priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they realized that he was
speaking about them. They wanted to arrest him, but they feared the crowds,
because they regarded him as a prophet.
