WELCOME
FROM THE VICE RECTOR
The Rev. Ken Brannon
This week I am filled with gratitude. I am grateful for the construction workers and landscapers putting the finishing touches on our beautiful new building and grounds. We look forward to welcoming everyone into the new space on August 2. Until then, thank you for your patience as we complete the final details and prepare the building for occupancy.
I am grateful for your generosity, which made this project possible. Your gifts, prayers, and faith have helped create a campus that will serve our community and glorify God for years to come.
I am grateful for the children, youth, and volunteers who participated in Youth Mission Week and Vacation Bible School. As God instructed Moses, “Recite these words to your children... when you lie down and when you rise” (Deut. 6:7). Our staff, volunteers, and families continue to faithfully live out this calling.
I am grateful for Pub Theology, which welcomed our wider community into thoughtful conversations about today’s challenges through the lens of Christian faith, extending God’s good news beyond Saint Michael’s walls.
And on July 5, we will enjoy one of Saint Michael’s most beloved traditions: Pie for the 4th of July! Thank you to our bakers and everyone who will join us as we give thanks for our country and seek to live more fully into its highest ideals.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

The Collect of the Day: 5:30 PM
Almighty God, you have built your Church upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone: Grant us so to be joined together in unity of spirit by their teaching, that we may be made a holy temple acceptable to you; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
The First Lesson Jeremiah 28:5-9
The prophet Jeremiah spoke to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests and all the people who were standing in the house of the LORD; and the prophet Jeremiah said, “Amen! May the LORD do so; may the Lord fulfill the words that you have prophesied, and bring back to this place from Babylon the vessels of the house of the LORD, and all the exiles. But listen now to this word that I speak in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people. The prophets who preceded you and me from ancient times prophesied war, famine, and pestilence against many countries and great kingdoms. As for the prophet who prophesies peace, when the word of that prophet comes true, then it will be known that the LORD has truly sent the prophet.”

The Psalm 89:1-4,15-18
Your love, O LORD, for ever will I sing; * from age to age my mouth will proclaim your faithfulness. For I am persuaded that your love is established for ever; * you have set your faithfulness firmly in the heavens. “I have made a covenant with my chosen one; * I have sworn an oath to David my servant: ‘I will establish your line for ever, * and preserve your throne for all generations.’”
Happy are the people who know the festal shout! * they walk, O LORD, in the light of your presence. They rejoice daily in your Name; * they are jubilant in your righteousness. For you are the glory of their strength, * and by your favor our might is exalted.
Truly, the LORD is our ruler; * the Holy One of Israel is our King.
The Second Lesson Romans 6:12-23
Do not let sin exercise dominion in your mortal bodies, to make you obey their passions. No longer present your members to sin as instruments of wickedness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and present your members to God as instruments of righteousness. For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace. What then? Should we sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? But thanks be to God that you, having once been slaves of sin, have become obedient from the heart to the form of teaching to which you were entrusted, and that you, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness. I am speaking in
human terms because of your natural limitations. For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to greater and g reater iniquity, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness for sanctification. When you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. So what advantage did you then get from the things of which you now are ashamed? The end of those things is death. But now that you have been freed from sin and enslaved to God, the advantage you get is sanctification. The end is eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Lector The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God.
The Gospel Matthew 10:40-42
Jesus said, “Whoever welcomes you welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. Whoever welcomes a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward; and whoever welcomes a righteous person in the name of a righteous person will receive the reward of the righteous; and whoever gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones in the name of a disciple-truly I tell you, none of these will lose their reward.”
