Order of Service: - Prelude - Hymn 283 - Glory Be To Jesus, Who in Bitter Pains - The Versicles (pp. 120-121) - The Gloria Patri (p. 121) - Mark 14:32-52: 32 They went to a place named Gethsemane. Jesus told his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” 33 Then he took Peter, James, and John along with him and began to be troubled and distressed. 34 He said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow, even to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch.” 35 Going forward a little, he fell on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. 36 He also said, “Abba, Father, everything is possible for you. Take this cup away from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.” 37 When he returned to the disciples, he found them sleeping. He said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Were you not strong enough to keep watch for one hour? 38 Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 39 Again he went away and prayed, saying the same thing. 40 When he returned, he found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. They did not know what they should answer him. 41 He returned the third time and said to them, “Are you going to continue sleeping and resting? It is enough. The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 42 Rise, let us go. Look, my betrayer is near.” 43 Just then, while he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived. A crowd was with him, armed with swords and clubs. They were from the chief priests, the experts in the law, and the elders. 44 Now his betrayer had given them a signal, saying, “The one I kiss is the man. Arrest him and lead him away under guard.” 45 He went right to Jesus and said, “Rabbi!” and kissed him. 46 They laid hands on him and arrested him. 47 But one of those who stood nearby drew his sword, struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear. 48 Jesus responded by saying to them, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to capture me as you would a criminal? 49 Day after day I was with you, teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest me. But this happened so that the Scriptures may be fulfilled.” 50 Then the disciples all left him and fled. 51 A certain young man was following him, wearing just a linen cloth over his naked body. They seized him, 52 but he left behind the linen cloth and fled from them naked. - Hymn 334 - O Sacred Head, Now Wounded: vv. 1, 7, 9 - The Kyrie (p. 124) - The Lord's Prayer (p. 125) - Hymn 584 - Grant Peace, We Pray, in Mercy, Lord - The Collect (pp. 125-127) - The Benedicamus (p. 127) - The Benediction (p. 127) - Hymn 284 - Go To Dark Gethsemane: vv. 1 - 3 - Postlude Service Participants: Rev.

fWotD Episode 3217: Kent Haruf Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Tuesday, 24 February 2026, is Kent Haruf.Alan Kent Haruf (, rhymes with sheriff; February 24, 1943 – November 30, 2014) was an American writer born and raised in Colorado. He wrote six novels and several short stories set on the High Plains, mostly in the fictional town of Holt.After completing his undergraduate degree in English at Nebraska Wesleyan, Haruf enrolled in the Peace Corps and performed work in lieu of military service before receiving a master's degree from the University of Iowa. He initially struggled to establish a career as a writer; in addition to stints as a janitor, construction worker and farmhand, Haruf spent years teaching English at a high school in Wisconsin and at universities in Nebraska and Illinois. His writing was first published in 1984 when he was 41. Although Haruf's first two novels received critical praise, commercial success eluded him until the publication of Plainsong in 1999, which became a bestseller. He followed it up with Eventide (2005), a direct sequel to Plainsong, and Benediction (2013).Throughout Haruf's career, critics praised his spare and elegant prose, authentic portrayals of rural life, and attention to the beauty found in ordinary things, although he was occasionally criticized for redundancy. In early 2014, Haruf was diagnosed with an incurable lung disease. He wrote his final book, Our Souls At Night, while ill and died that November. The book was published posthumously and adapted into a film of the same name. A Colorado magazine, 5280, wrote that Haruf is "widely considered Colorado's finest novelist", and the Dublin Review of Books called his work "both uniquely American and profoundly universal".This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:44 UTC on Tuesday, 24 February 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Kent Haruf on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Amy.

In verses 11-13 of chapter 3, the apostle Paul gives a “benedictory prayer” – a blessing mixed with prayer – for the Thessalonians. His words provide a beautiful model prayer that we can pray for ourselves or others.

Order of Service: - Prelude - The Confession of Sin (p. 120) - Hymn 184 - My Faith Looks Up To Thee - The Versicles (pp. 120-121) - The Gloria Patri (p. 121) - Psalm 117 (p. 189; Tone 1) - 1 Corinthians 13:1-13: Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. - The Nunc Dimittis (p. 124) - The Kyrie (p. 124) - The Lord's Prayer (p. 125) - Hymn 584 - Grant Peace, We Pray, in Mercy, Lord - The Collect (pp. 125-127) - The Benedicamus (p. 127) - The Benediction (p. 127) - Hymn 561 - Abide With Me; Fast Falls the Eventide: vv. 1, 6, 8 - Postlude Service Participants: Adam Hoeft (Preacher), Ryan Samek (Organist)
January 20, 2026Today's Reading: Exodus 33:12-23 or Amos 9:11-15Daily Lectionary: Ezekiel 47:1-14, 21-23; Romans 9:19-33“Moses said, ‘Please show me your glory.'” (Exodus 33:18)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Moses has a request for the Lord. “Please show me your glory.” It is an odd request, considering that Moses had already seen the Lord's glory. In the burning bush, Moses saw the Lord's glory. In the Exodus, the Lord's glory went before them and behind them in fire and cloud. It enveloped the mountain. It descended on the tent of meeting when Moses spoke to the Lord as a friend. What more is there to see?The Lord's face. When Moses saw the burning bush, he had to hide his face for fear (Exodus 3:6). Now he grows bolder. “Please show me your glory.” “Please show me your face.” The Lord responds, “I will make all my goodness pass before you and will proclaim before you my name ‘The Lord.' And I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy. But, you cannot see my face, for man shall not see me and live” (Exodus 33:19-20). God's holy face is a death sentence for sinful man. Even the great prophet Moses could not endure the judgment of that revelation. If the Lord were to emerge from the fire or the cloud, it would not be a gracious face shining upon you but a stern countenance darkened by anger.Yet, the Lord will be gracious. He will show mercy. But not by stepping out of the fire or the cloud to show His face. Not at this moment. But as a promise of things to come, the Lord offers a glimpse. He hides Moses in the cleft of the rock and shows him His back. Even this compromise changes Moses, though. His own face begins to shine with the reflected radiance of God's glory, with a brilliance such that he has to wear a veil. At the end of Moses' story, the book of Deuteronomy says, “And there has not arisen a prophet since in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face” (Deuteronomy 34:10). This is an ironic summary of Moses' ministry, considering how the Lord explicitly denied him the sight of His face. But it's not the end of the Moses story. Moses again makes an appearance. “And [Jesus] was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light. And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him” (Matthew 17:2-3). The face of Jesus masks the darkened countenance of God and presents the gracious face of God. This gracious face of God also shines upon you in the ministry of the Church. Having put on a face of flesh and blood, the Lord says to you, “Look on my face and live.”In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.The Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you. (Benediction, LSB p. 166)Author: Rev. Jacob Ehrhard, pastor of St. John's Lutheran Church and School in Chicago, IL.Audio Reflections Speaker: Rev. Richard Heinz, pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church in Lowell, IN.Better understand difficult and overlooked Old Testament passages in this new book by Authors R. Reed Lessing and Andrew E. Steinmann.

Are you arguing or just disagreeing? Yo Aunteas Kerel, Dawon, and Jerrell dive into the nuances of relationship communication, triggers, and the "death by 1,000 paper cuts" that leads to a blowout... all while Dawon deal with his Bali Internet (sorry for the crunchiness)! In the News: Yo Aunteas don't hold back on the recent viral comments from Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang. They discuss the responsibility of large platforms when it comes to Black political candidates and why "bad phrasing" isn't a sufficient apology for devaluing a qualified resume. On the Carpet: The Golden Globes 2026 brought the fashion, but did it bring the joy? Yo Aunteas review the best and worst looks, including Teyana Taylor's winning Schiaparelli gown, Colman Domingo's sophisticated restraint, and J.Lo being, well, J.Lo.

Common Tables December 24, 2025 Christmas Eve Service of Las Posadas.Let every heart prepare him room! Our Christmas Eve service was an interactive, family-friendly experience of the Christmas story! This shorter worship experience engaged all ages with music, drama, and candle-lighting. While you may not get the full experience, you can listen as we reflect on the Holy Family's search for shelter in the Christmas story. Listen as we ponder and pray for people searching for refuge today as we welcome Christ the holy stranger into our world. As an added bonus that we don't normally include, Rev. Lan Davis Wilson welcomes us to an open table in communion and Brooke Willson sends us with the Benediction.

-- Description --DragonRaid was an attempt to connect with RPG enthusiasts and to use that connection to educate and increase their faith. What did it do right? What did it do wrong?

HAPPY HOLIDAYS, COMMUNITEA! Auntea Kerel and Auntea Jerrell hold down the fort while Auntea Dawon battles the world's worst Airbnb Wi-Fi. We're kicking things off with a therapy session on "Holiday Late-ness"—is the 5-minute grace period real, or was your dad a "if you aren't an hour early, you're late" kind of man? We also dive into the dark side of the season: Retail Trauma. We talk about why hearing All I Want For Christmas Is You for the 500th time in a shift is a trigger, and why we all owe Jesus a 20-year-overdue apology for the lies we told to skip Bible study. Plus, the Aunteas go head-to-head in their Holiday Music Bracket 2025, debating which Christmas song truly deserves the crown. Follow us on social media @MinoriteaReport and tell us who won YOUR bracket! Grab your tea, hot cocoa, and egg nog and settle in ☕!

In this special end-of-year episode, Auntea Kerel, Auntea Dawon, and Auntea Jerrell revisit the segments that defined the year — the laughs, the shade, the vulnerability, and the conversations that turned this podcast into a time capsule of Black queer life, culture, and friendship. ✨ In this episode, we get into: Why body hair opinions get REAL personal Dawon's big relationship reveal (and how we baited y'all
