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.

Intro: At a time when the news headlines tells us about the horrors of the war in Ukraine, the death of a group of 50 or so Mexican people trying to enter the USA in a large truck, the terror of mass shootings, the suffering of those caught in the internal conflict in Sudan and other parts of Africa and the difficulties faced by families in Canada who are struggling with inflationary prices or with family who have overdosed on opiods – at such a time as this, you might ask yourself as I have “where is God?” “Is there a God in this world who still heals the broken hearted, rescues the desperate, brings forth justice or executes righteous?”

PARISH LIFE NOTES
The Bell of St. Mary’s. Our thanks to Mike (and his truck) who on Thursday helped deliver the church bell, formerly of St. Phillip’s, Regina and St. George’s, Pilot Butte, now entrusted to St. Mary’s! Cry aloud, inhabitants of Zion, ring out your joy, for the great one in the midst of you is the Holy One of Israel. ( Isaiah 12.6).
Gospel in the Garden for children begins to today during the 10.30 service. Our theme is “The Seven Days of Creation” and will include Scripture, Reflection, Song, Prayer, Watering and Weeding the Garden, and Side-Walk Chalk Mural designed by St. Mary’s Junior “Artist-in-Residence” Lucy.
Summer Offerings. During the summer holidays when many Parishioners are away and out of town, our weekly collections often decrease by a considerable amount, but the costs of running our parish stays the same. 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.
Congratulations and Blessings to Myka on the occasion of her graduation this year and receipt of her High School Diploma!
