Without the Spirit of God we can do nothing.
We are as ships without wind.
We are useless.
Charles Spurgeon
Dear Friends
We hope you can join in worship for Holy Eucharist, BAS format, at 10:30 am this Sunday.
If you feel unwell or are uncomfortable coming to church, please request the Zoom option by calling a warden. Zoom coverage will be available as requested.
Please remember in your prayers:
– the clergy and parishioners of our Diocese
– those who are sick, suffering, fearful or in need, and their caregivers, those feeling isolated and those who are vulnerable
– those who mourn
– for peace within our country, and in the world, remembering areas of war, unrest and riots, and asking for wise discernment in our leaders
– the victims of violence and natural disasters;
– our Indigenous brothers and sisters, especially remembering their hurt and grief at this time;
– refugees, remembering those fleeing the Taliban regime, and war in the Ukraine.
– those who are persecuted and oppressed for their faith in Jesus Christ
Announcements:
The Reverend John Choul will be our preacher October 30th. As a young man Rev. John fled the civil war in Southern Sudan and arrived in Canada via the refugee camp system. He was recently ordained and is presently serving at St. Andrew’s in Calgary. Rev. John is a great witness of “faith in adversity”. We will have a reception afterwards so folks can chat with Rev. John.
