The Church of the Holy Spirit - Missionary Sunday - November 17, 2024 @ 8:00 a.m.
The Church of the Holy Spirit - Missionary Sunday Nov 17, 2024 - 8: 00 a.m. Priest in Charge: Rev. Paul Sharp Welcome to our Church! Brothers and Sisters in Christ, a Happy Sunday to you and yours, whether here, online at home or abroad, we are happy you all are worshipping with us. If this is your first time worshipping with us, it is great to have you here. ‘...holy Scriptures are written for our learning: Grant us so to hear...and inwardly digest them...’ Reflection - Let's Think on it In reflecting on today’s Collect; we come to the realization that we can never understand the entirety of the teachings of the Scriptures, but we can continue to grow in what we are able to perceive in them. "Grant us so to hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them". As the Christian year draws to a close, do we feel that our perception of our life in Christ has deepened? Have we discovered a greater light emerging from the Holy Church? Are we ready to enter again the coming penitential period of Advent and ensuing renewal at Christmas? We have made progress in the last year, and now it is time to begin a new step in the continuing spiritual cycle that leads us towards our heavenly Father by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. In a few short weeks we will be invited to embrace him anew, and let him who is the blessed hope of everlasting life, into our hearts again. Blessings.
