Please join us for worship – Holy Eucharist  – today, Sunday, August 30 at 10.00 am. Our readings are Jeremiah 15:15-21 (Jeremiah receives encouragement in God’s promise to be “with you to save you and deliver you”), Romans 12:9-21 (in a very upbeat passage which sounds in part similar to the Sermon on the Mount, Paul tells the Christians in Rome to rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in prayer” and to “bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them”), Matthew 16:21-28 (Jesus predicts his death in Jerusalem, rebukes Peter, and reminds his disiples that following him calls for self-denial and the willingness to “take up their cross and follow me”). Here is the order of service. Fr. Steve  will be presiding and Fr. Douglas preaching.

Next Sunday, Sept. 6, our Bishop Mark Edington will be with us as our celebrant and preacher. And as the Night of the Churches was cancelled this year, we have moved our next service of Anglican Sung Evensong to Sun., Sept. 6, at 5.00 pm.
