On the first Sunday in Fall (Seventeenth Sunday in Trinity) Fr. Dennis celebrated Holy Communion with us. His sermon delved into the part of the Gospel lesson discussing Jesus's teaching about humility to the Pharisees. Fr. Dennis reminded us to support high ideals and morals but to avoid religious pride. Also to remain humble and merciful while speaking truth in love. Lastly not to focus on personal glory but rather on the God's Glory.
