Notices for Week of 18 September 2022 – Parish of the Resurrection

Notices: Proper 25, 18 September 2022
Dear friends,In the Gospel to day Jesus says “No servant can serve two masters…you cannot serve both God and mammon” (God and material things). As we begin a new fall ministry in a post pandemic world, how can you offer more of your time and treasure to support ministry in this parish. How can you talk to others about our wonderful school of love here at the Resurrection, and invite others along. How can you listen more deeply for what God is doing in our community of faith and neighbourhoods, and how can you join in? As servants of Christ, of Life and Love, these are important questions for us to ask ourselves.
Love,Father Gerald+
Holy Baptism. Today we welcome into the Body of Christ: Atticus Glenn Wayne Stamp. Together let us say “yes” to the Way of Love, the Way of Christ.
