Notices for Week of February 7
Notices: 7 February 2021, Proper 5
Dear friends,
This Sunday we will hear the Gospel story of Jesus casting out demons and evil spirits. The evil spirits that can possess us are not entities from outside of ourselves. The evil spirits that can possess us are from within ourselves. The enemy to life is within. That is to say, YOU are the enemy. The less full of “self” we are, the more room there is for us to be filled or possessed by God’s Spirit of Love. To follow Jesus is to learn to die to self and to open up to the larger life of Love.
Love,
Father Gerald+

In your donation note, write “new microphone.” The quality of the recording of the liturgy is important, especially for those listening from home.
