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!

Congratulations and Blessings to ST. Mary’s Ethiopian Orthodox Church on the occasion of the celebration of their Patronal Festival at St. Mary’s last Saturday.

Trinity 1, 2022 – Sermon

(Modified 2022-06-19: Added audio recording of sermon)

“Return to your home, and declare how much God has done for you” (Luke 8:39).

Audio recording of this sermon

In Christ Jesus, we have a lot to be thankful. One of the precious gifts from Triune God is freedom. What is freedom in God? Freedom from what? Freedom to do what? How does freedom feel?

The picture that Apostle Paul and Evangelist Luke have painted for us this First Sunday after Trinity is that of a jail, including the handcuffs, chains and chackles, and the image of the possibility of being locked in the most feared maximum-security cell without the possibility of a parole.

Today we also celebrate the Baptism of Dante, son of Terrance and Kelsi. Please join us for a garden party with ice cream and cupcakes following the service.

The Platinum Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen’s Elizabeth II.  We will end our service today with a prayer for the Queen’s Majesty, and the singing of The Royal Anthem.

PARISH LIFE NOTES

Memorial Service for Jo Crosby who passed away on April 1 at the age of 101 will be held on Monday, June 6 at 2:00 p.m. May she rest in peace and rise in glory.

Easter Offering. This year St, Mary’s will be allocating $275 from the Easter offering to the purchasing of groceries for one of Regina’s community fridges.   A community fridge is a refrigerator located in a public space that enables food to be shared within a community. As the demand for food banks continues to increase, these fridges are an important support for those who may not have enough to feed themselves or their families.   

Regina’s three community fridges can be found at
1) 1510 12th Avenue 
2) 3037 Dewdney Ave 
3)  Cathedral Fridge is located on east parking lot of Holy Rosary Cathedral. 

If you are able, we encourage you to consider donating.  

“If you open your heart to the hungry, and provide abundantly for those who are afflicted, your light will shine in the darkness, and your gloom will be like the noon.”  (Isaiah 58:10)

Community Kitchen will meet again next Saturday, June 11th. We will support and prepare meals with participants from 9 to 12 noon.   We kindly request volunteers who are fully vaccinated.  Please contact Clara. Thank you!

Card of Thanks Norma and Bill would like to thank the St. Mary’s church family and the Hospitality Ministry for hosting their 50th Anniversary Reception. “We received flowers, cards, email messages and phone calls from you. Bill has been part of this parish for 72 years and now I have been a member for 50 years. This is our Church home. Worship, Prayer, Study, Work, Play, Joy, Sorrow, Baptisms, Confirmations, Weddings, and Friends – Thanks be to the Lord.”

Bon Voyage. Alan and Jackie are retiring from work in Regina and moving to Kingston, Ontario. We give thanks to them and glory to God for the many gifts they brought to our parish of St. Mary’s, and wish them Godspeed.
