Isaiah 65:17-25 “See, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.

Sunday Worship 19 October | Lectionary Proper 24: Limping Away With a Blessing
Genesis 32:22-31 That night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two female servants and his eleven sons and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. After he had sent them across the stream, he sent over all his possessions. So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is dayb
