Twenty-second Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 25)
Jer. 31:7–9; Psalm 126; Heb. 7:23–28; Mark 10:46–52

"With weeping they shall come, and with pleas for mercy I will lead them back, I will make them walk by brooks of water, in a straight path in which they shall not stumble, for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn" (Jer. 31:9 ESV).

The Feast of St. James of Jerusalem, Brother of Jesus and Martyr

"Along with other relatives of our Lord (except His mother), James did not believe in Jesus until after His resurrection (John 7:3-5; 1 Cor. 15:7). After becoming a Christian, James was elevated to a position of leadership within the earliest Christian community. Especially following St. Peter's departure from Jerusalem, James was recognized as the bishop of the Church in that holy city (Acts 12:17; 15:12ff.). According to the historian Josephus, James was martyred in AD 62 by being stoned to death by the Sadducees. James authored the Epistle in the New Testament that bears his name."
(Treasury of Daily Prayer)

Pastors, have you considered the Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) Program? Dr. Rance Settle ('20) shares one way he benefited from going back to school and pursuing the D.Min. degree, "This program has benefited me in countless ways. My cohort of classmates worked together to address ministry needs in our unique contexts and we still keep in touch to share ideas, resources or to pray together over the phone for immediate needs."
