If the last few days are any indication, it won’t be long before the ground has frozen. All those thoughts about what to do in the garden will be pushed away for a few months. Now and then a stray thought may cross our minds – “Next spring I’ll….” or “Maybe some flowers would look good there…”

Our readings this Sunday are about growing things. In this case a vineyard. Isaiah tells us about a friend who planted a vineyard on a fertile hillside. The friend did all that could be done for the vineyard, but all it yielded was rotten grapes. What should be done with that vineyard?

The Gospel reading is also about a vineyard. The farmer planted a vineyard and then leased it to tenants and went on a journey. Alfter awhile, one of the farmer’s employees was sent to collect the farmer’s share of the produce. What will the tenants do?

Come this Sunday and find out what happened to the vineyard that produced rotten grapes and what happened to the employee who was sent to collect for the farmer.

This Sunday worship service is at 9:30. Coffee hour is at 10:30 and adult forum is at 10:45.
