The Collect:

O God, by the passion of your blessed Son you made an instrument of shameful death to be for us the means of life: Grant us so to glory in the cross of Christ, that we may gladly suffer shame and loss for the sake of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Monday in Holy Week

The Collect:

Almighty God, whose most dear Son went not up to joy but first he suffered pain, and entered not into glory before he was crucified: Mercifully grant that we, walking in the way of the cross, may find it none other than the way of life and peace; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Scams!

 

This came up in our clergy gathering today. We are all susceptible to scams - especially right now - following many local disasters and the pandemic - be careful - even if the commutation appears to come from some you know - Especially Bishop Jake Owensby, or the National Church or local church! We don't want anyone scammed. When in doubt - check it out thoroughly. Great info here...https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/file/21839/download?token=ujakKk5R

and find out why the real St. Patrick means more than green beer, good luck, corned beef, and cabbage.
 
The Collect:

Almighty God, in your providence you chose your servant Patrick to be the apostle to the Irish people, to bring those who were wandering in darkness and error to the true light and knowledge of you: Grant us so to walk in that way that we may come at last to the light of everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Worship Tomorrow - The Fourth Sunday in Lent

 

Dear All,
 
Reminder – Spring Forward tonight before you go to bed!

* Worship Notes for the Season of Lent
 
During Lent, we will celebrate Holy Eucharist: Rite One on Sundays. We will resume Rite Two on Easter. In Lent, our liturgies will begin with the Penitential Order, and continue with the Kyrie (the Gloria will be omitted). At the fraction, the Agnus Dei will be said and the prayer of humble access will be said prior to receiving communion. Silence will be observed at appropriate times during the liturgy as well. All of this is in keeping with the penitential nature of the season. In Lent, in place of a seasonal blessing, a Solemn Prayer over the People will be used. The prayers come from the Book of Occasional Services.
 
These liturgies will be Live-Streamed on Facebook for those who choose to remain at home. Please contact the clergy if you wish to receive a home communion visit.

Virtual Diocesan Convention a Success

 

On Saturday, February 27, the diocese gathered virtually via Zoom for the 42nd Annual Diocesan Convention. The meeting was much like the usual in-person event. The participants voted on diocesan elections, heard reports on finance, Camp Hardtner, and watched highlights on new diocesan ministries.

The Bishop's Staff would like to extend gratitude to the clergy, delegates, and online visitors that participated in the virtual event. It was a great success. We look forward to gathering again in 2022!

 Missed the event? View a live recording of Convention on Facebook or watch the Bishop's Address and other ministry highlight videos on the diocesan YouTube Channel.

John and Charles Wesley & Evening Prayer

 

Today is Wednesday, March 3. On this day, the Church remembers John and Charles Wesley.

The Collect

Lord God, you inspired your servants John and Charles Wesley with burning zeal for the sanctification of souls and endowed them with eloquence in speech and song: Kindle such fervor in your church, we entreat you, that those whose faith has cooled may be warmed, and those who have not known Christ may turn to him and be saved; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Learn more about these brothers here - John and Charles Wesley.
