Readings
First: Ecclesiastes 1: 2; 2:21-23 - Vanity of vanities. A man who has laboured must leave what is his own to someone who has not toiled. What does he gain for his toil?
Psalm:

OR
94 - O that today you would listen to his voice, harden not your hearts / Come ring out our joy to the Lord / Come in, let us kneel and bend low
Second: Colossians 3:1-5, 9-11 - Let your thoughts be on heavenly things - when Christ is revealed, you will be revealed in your glory with him.
Gospel: Luke 12 : 13-21 - Parable of the rich fool, who built extra barns to store his wealth, but died before he could use them.

Looking towards heaven and eternal life. Asking what is important to us, and what Readings we value.
