FROM YOUR PRIEST:
"the great messenger"
matthew 11:2-11
Jesus tells us that John is more than a prophet. He plays the most crucial role in the advent of the Messiah, the Christ. John is the ultimate messenger preparing the way for God’s decisive intervention in human life. If he is God’s great messenger, as Jesus says he is, it might be good to hear his message. He practices what he preaches, a deep humility. It must have been tempting for him to exaggerate his stature—he was like a rock star—but he understands his role. He is to point to the light; he is not the light. His own testimony and suffering make him remarkable for the ages. In the quiet of the Advent season, may we find our place in his image. Preparing for the coming of Christ is a serious business.
Holy eucharist service 12:00 nOON Wednesdays
SUNDAY morning ROLL-OUT!
St. Mary's will serve a hot breakfast from 8:30-9:45 EVERY SUNDAY. Rev. Bill will take the floor from 9:10 to 9:50 during breakfast and offer a lesson and reflection on the inexhaustible subject of being “Unabashedly Episcopalian.”
Fellowship, breaking bread, and bringing the congregation from both the first and second service together. Come whenever breakfast is being served, at whatever time suits your schedule.
It will be informal, casual, participatory, and fun! You don’t have to follow a syllabus be prepared. You don’t have to be “on time” either. Come when you can. Just eat good food and spend some fun time with your fellow parishioners!
They spent their time learning from the apostles, and they were like family to each other. They also broke bread and prayed together. Acts 2:42
