From Father Iain, All Saints Chiang Mai
Which are you?
Dear Friends,
Most of us are doers – we like to get things done! The active people in the church are like that, after all, James said that faith without works is dead.
But when the doer, Martha, complained to Jesus about the listener, Mary, Jesus said that Mary had “chosen the better part!”
Do we find it easier to do than to find time to really listen to Jesus? How can we become better listeners and so better disciples too?
Our scripture readings for this Sunday will be Genesis 18:1-10, Colossians 1:15-28, and Luke 10:38-42, and we will be singing the hymns All Creatures of our God and King; Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee; When the Music Fades; and Lift High the Cross!
Use this link to join on Zoom on Sunday at 10:30 a.m.

Last Week’s Service!
Video of last Sunday’s service is available on the All Saints YouTube channel!
1946 Movie – Next Monday!
Join us for a screening of “1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture,” a new documentary film that traces the origins of the Christian anti-gay movement back to a particularly consequential translation of the Bible in 1946. Deeply researched and movingly told, this film sheds light on the complex history of Christian homophobia and the questionable scriptural foundation upon which it was built.
Bring a friend and join us to watch, discuss, and eat lots of popcorn.
Snacks are provided, and entry is free, although we recommend a donation of 250฿ to support All Saints Chiang Mai, the first (only?) affirming church in Chiang Mai.
6:00 PM on Monday, 21 July,
at the Mennonite Central Committee.
RSVP to Clay or Christa or by QR Code.
