Parish Notices for Week of 12 February 2023
Notices: Proper 6, 12 February 2023
Good day dear friends,
In the Scripture readings for today we hear the invitation to be careful with the choices we make in life. It is important to remember that no matter what mistakes we have made in life, at a deeper spiritual level, the place within us that is our truest and divine self, we are always at one with God, and always at one with those whom we have offended or hurt, and with those who have hurt us. It is out of this deep place of Loving Union with God that we are to live lives of compassion and mercy for ourselves, and for every other.
Love
Father Gerald+

Good day folks,
After 17+ years our current electronic piano is having some problems. The parish has purchased the instrument already as music is a vital aspect of our liturgy and one I’m sure you would not want to be without. Starting this Sunday we will be having a campaign to cover the cost of a new electronic piano.
The Campaign is called:
Buy a Key, Share in the Music.
Each key will cost $45.
You can buy more than one key or share the costs of a key with someone.
Payments can be made by cash , cheque or EMT to the parish. If you are using cash or cheque, please ensure you write “keyboard or piano “ on the outside of the envelope. If using EMT, please write “keyboard or piano “ in the comment section (finance@anglicanresurrection.com). This will ensure proper credit to you and to the campaign. And let Valerie know that you have made a donation.
Thank you all for your continued support of this parish
Make a joyful noise,
Valerie
Let Valerie know when you are buying a key.

A number of our parish leadership are doing the “Revive” program this winter. It is a program that helps equip lay leaders to be spiritual leaders. The participants will learn about themselves and discern their life’s calling; explore their faith journey and enter into a relationship with God; enjoy a sense of community and deepened relationships with peers; gain confidence with prayer, scripture, and spiritual leadership; and discern gifts for their calling to serve God’s world. Please pray for those participating in this program this winter.
