First Reading: Isaiah 56:1, 6-7 The Lord wants all people to love and honor his name. He says that those who honor him by obey-ing all of his laws will be “made joyful in my house of prayer.” Second Reading: Romans 11:13-15, 29-32 Paul describes his hopes that his fellow Jews will follow the example of the Gentiles he has been preaching to. He claims that just as God has mercy for their disobedience, he wishes to show mercy to the Jews as well. Gospel: Matthew 15:21-28 A Canaanite woman begged Jesus to help her daughter, who was being plagued by a demon. Je-sus at first refused her and said that “My mission is only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” The woman was so persistent that Jesus said she had great faith and then he healed her daughter.

A Thank You to St. John’s from the Mifflin Community Food Ministry Thank you for your gift of $200 and bags of food items to the Mifflin Community Food Ministry in July. We were able to assist 109 families this month and are now preparing for the August school supplies giveaway along with food and paper products. We appreciate you! The Mifflin Community Food Ministry is not affiliated with Helping Harvest (formerly Greater Berks Food Bank), therefore we are especially grateful for any gift. We use all gifts of time, money, food, paper products, and other types of donations to serve God and the families in need in our area through this Ministry. The Food Ministry is open the third Saturday of every month at Zion EC Church. 57 N. Church St. Mohnton from 9-11am.
