19th Sunday after Pentecost Year A

Join Rev. Emily E. Ewing (they) and Rev. Kay Rohloff (she) to explore new and nerdy connections to the scripture for the 19th Sunday after Pentecost, also known as Lectionary 27 or Proper 22, which falls on October 8th this year, including our deep dive into vineyards! 

The scripture we refer to for this episode can be found here.  We mentioned this summer’s parables episode with Dr. Amy-Jill Levine for the 9th Sunday after Pentecost. For more on vineyard management, check out this article from Michigan State University, this Practical Winery Library magazine, this study on vineyard management for grape production, or these pictures of what grapevines look like throughout the growing cycle.  Just for fun, check out the I Love Lucy scene of Lucy stomping grapes!

CN: we talk about diet culture when discussing the second reading.
