RELENTLESS CAREWho do you identify with in Jesus’ story of the Good Samaritan? Maybe it’s the indif-ferent priest, the compassionate Samari-tan, or the lawyer questioning Jesus.
We underestimate this parable if we start to think that its purpose is only to teach us to imitate the Samaritan. The parable also reveals something about God and the lengths to which God will go to reach out to us.
Through the image of the Samaritan, Jesus lifts up a surprising rescuer as an image of the God who relentlessly cares for those in need. Could it be that we could identify not just with the Samaritan or the lawyer to whom Jesus speaks the parable, but with the man who is hopeless and left for dead? Could it be that Christ is the Good Samaritan who embraces us with the ten-der compassion of God?

Serving in Cincinnati Ninety teenagers and 25 adults from St. Paul are heading to Cincinnati this week to serve others. The annual St. Paul Youth mission trip will depart today (Sunday) after a commissioning at 9:20 a.m. worship. The group will stay on the campus of Cincinnati Christian University. Each day, they will gather for breakfast and worship before heading out to a variety of organizations. In the evenings, they will explore the city, take part in large group worship, and share high-lights from the day. Sites include Stepping Stones (a day camp for people with disabilities), The Ronald McDonald House, Walnut Hills urban community garden, local nursing homes, and Giving Fields community farm. The trip is for students grades 9-12, led by Andy Langdon, director of youth ministries.

A BLUE BOOK, “Welcome to St. Paul,” is situated in every pew near the aisle seat. Please take a moment to share your name and pass the book. As it returns to you, glance at other names and look for your chance to greet one another after worship. The warmth of your greeting can brighten the whole day.
