DESCRIPTION:Family Communion for the 11th Sunday after Trinity: celebrant 
 the Revd Tola Badejo.\n\nFirst reading: Jeremiah 2. 4 – 13\nGospel: Luke
  14. 1\, 7 – 14\n\nOur readings today are essentially about humility in 
 the widest sense - the recognition of our relationship with God\, our plac
 e in human society\, and the way we should treat those who are relatively 
 more of less privileged than we are (bearing in mind that worldly fortune 
 can change very quickly).\n\nFor once\, the image above depicts an example
  we should not follow (the whole painting is attached below). In Nicholas 
 Poussin's 'Adoration of the Golden Calf' the Israelites have abandoned God
  in favour of a golden statue\; in the full picture\, Moses can be made ou
 t in the distance on the left\, looking on in horror. The Israelites are c
 elebrating\, but the tone of the painting is threatening - no good will co
 me of this. In our world\, we are unlikely to worship idols\, but we need 
 to be careful not to let anything take the place of God in our lives\, be 
 it something material or concern about our own status.
