• Luke 13:10-17

Music

• O Christ, the Healer, CH #503
• We Cannot Measure How You Heal, Iona, Love From Below, pp. 56-57 (Ann, I'll email you a pdf of this hymn)
• Una Espiga (Sheaves of Summer), CH #396 (Ann, we haven't sung this one much.  Let me know if you think it's doable.)

We'll be using the screen again, so, Lisa, if you'd like any hymns for gathering to be shown on it, let me know sometime before Saturday afternoon.

I think my focus for my sermon will be on the Luke passage.  There is a lot there: healing, breaking rules for good, Jesus reaching out to a woman in pain, etc.  For communion, there are also possibilities from the Jeremiah passage.
