WELCOMING SERVICE FOR CANDIDATES FOR HOLY BAPTISM. Today we welcome Andrew and Starr who are presenting their children Luka and Johanna as candidates for Holy Baptism!
MOST gracious God, we humbly beseech thee for thy holy Catholic Church. Fill it with all truth; in all truth with all peace. Where it is corrupt, purify it; where it Is in error, direct it; where any thing is amiss, reform it; where it is right, strengthen and confirm it; where it is in want, furnish it; where it is divided and rent asunder, make it whole again; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Before you go away on holidays this summer, please consider signing up for electronic giving. Electronic giving provides a convenient option for you and supports consistent giving to the parish for all the work it does. If you are already an electronic giver, we thank you. If not, we graciously ask that you consider this option. Forms are available at the back of the church by the collection plate. Forms can also be requested by emailing stmarysanglican@sasktel.net.

ROGATIONTIDE from the Latin word, “ rogare” ( “to ask”) is a three day period of fasting and prayer which begins this Monday, leading up the Feast of the Ascension, which we celebrate on Thursday. In England, a common feature of the rogation days in former times was the ceremony of “beating of the bounds” in which a procession of parishioners, led by the minister, churchwarden, and choir would proceed around the boundary of their and and pray for its protection in the forthcoming year. The Book of Common Prayer encourages us in rogationtide to make use of the Great Litany ( page 30) in our prayers, wherein we pray and intercede on behalf of the church and the entire world for its many needs. Today, being Rogation Sunday we will process out to St. Mary’s garden and pray God’s blessing upon the plants, and animals, and all the life of our parish and city, and that we might be good neighbors, showing forth the kingdom of God on earth.
THE FEAST of THE ASCENSION OF THE LORD will take place this Thursday beginning at 5.30 p.m. with shortened Evening Prayer followed by Holy Communion.
