GETTING READY FOR SUNDAY: PREVIEW OF THE READINGS.

On this Feast of All Saints, our readings give us two complimentary visions of holiness. The first, from the Book of Revelation, where a great multitude, who have been sanctified through their suffering, stand in worship before the throne of God in heaven and experience His unmeditated sheltering presence and comfort. The second vision, from Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, describes the personal qualities and life experience and the ensuing blessedness of those who have died to sin, and have risen to new life in Christ.

OLD TESTAMENT LESSON: Daniel 7:1-3,15-18

NINETEENTH SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY

October 26, 2025

THE FATHER IS MY HOPE; THE SON IS MY REFUGE; 
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS MY PROTECTION.
ALL HOLY TRINITY, GLORY TO THEE!

LIVE AUDIO STREAMING during today’s service is available on the Order of Service page. Recorded audio will be added following worship.

GETTING READY FOR SUNDAY: PREVIEW OF THE READINGS.

In our Gospel lesson today, St. Matthew describes for us the healing of the paralytic, which comes to us an illustration of the power and authority of Christ to heal the afflictions of our souls, and not just our bodies, through the forgiveness of sins., something we experience every Sunday morning in the Holy Communion. Sin, truly, is a paralyzing force in our lives, which deadens, and keeps us from doing the good God would have us do. In forgiveness, God causes us to stand up from the bed of our paralysis and walk in newness of life.  Just what that newness of life consists of, and looks like, is what St. Paul describes for us in our Epistle reading from his Letter to the Ephesians.

OLD TESTAMENT LESSON: Joel 2:23-32

EIGHTEENTH SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY

October 19, 2025

THE FATHER IS MY HOPE; THE SON IS MY REFUGE; 
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS MY PROTECTION.
ALL HOLY TRINITY, GLORY TO THEE!

LIVE AUDIO STREAMING during today’s service is available on the Order of Service page. Recorded audio will be added following worship.

GETTING READY FOR SUNDAY: PREVIEW OF THE READINGS

In today’s Gospel lesson, the Lord gives us the Summary of the Law of Moses which we know so well from the service of Holy Communion  in The Book of Common Prayer. This Summary of the Law of Moses is the foundation for our worship and spiritual life, and contains the whole meaning of out lives. But , as Jesus pointed out to the scribe, the Law is unable to establish the kingdom of God within  and among us. This kingdom , in which the power of sin, death, and the devil has been defeated, is something we receive through the death and resurrection of the God/Man Jesus Christ. It’s why Jesus immediately directs our attention to the premier Messianic Psalm,  Psalm 110, where we discover that the Messiah , Jesus, is David’s “Son” with respect to His humanity, and David’s “Lord” with respect to His divinity, and thus our Savior! In our Epistle reading, St. Paul shows how it is that we are sustained in spiritual life and holiness by our union with Jesus Christ. 

OLD TESTAMENT LESSON: Jeremiah 31:27-34

Harvest Thanksgiving – October 12, 2025 – Bulletin

HARVEST THANKSGIVING

October 12, 2025

THE FATHER IS MY HOPE; THE SON IS MY REFUGE; 
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS MY PROTECTION.
ALL HOLY TRINITY, GLORY TO THEE!

LIVE AUDIO STREAMING during today’s service is available on the Order of Service page. Recorded audio will be added following worship.

GETTING READY FOR SUNDAY: PREVIEW OF THE READINGS.

The human person/soul has been created by God as a unity of body and spirit. Materialism, a philosophy which acknowledges the reality of our physical needs in the form of food, clothing, shelter, etc.,  and  denies the spiritual dimension of our lives, and spiritualism, a philosophy which accepts spiritual reality, but denies the body as the bearer of the Spirit, are both destructive to thus unity. There is a physical labour and food which we need, as well as spiritual labour and food which we need.  The lessons for this Harvest Thanksgiving service highlight for us that Christ, who is the Incarnate ( enfleshed) Word of God,  as the source of life for both the body and the spirit, bestowing us with meaningful, purposeful, satisfying  existence in this life , and in the world to come, life everlasting.

OLD TESTAMENT LESSON: Isaiah 55:1-12

SIXTEENTH SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY               

October 5, 2025

THE FATHER IS MY HOPE; THE SON IS MY REFUGE; 
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS MY PROTECTION.
ALL HOLY TRINITY, GLORY TO THEE!

GETTING READY FOR SUNDAY: PREVIEW OF THE READINGS.

In today’s Gospel lesson, St. Luke describes the miracle of the raising of the dead of the son of the widow of Nain. Miracles in the New Testament are not understood in the modern sense of a suspension of the “laws of nature” but rather a manifestation of the loving, life-giving power of God which upholds our lives and that of the universe moment by moment. In this miracle, the power of God meets the depths of human need and desperation. In our Epistle reading from Ephesians St. Paul prays that we ourselves, in our weakness and desperation, would know this power working within us, so that we might be filled to the brim with His fulness, so that God would be glorified. 

OLD TESTAMENT LESSON: Lamentation 1:1-6
