Notices for Week of 12 March 2023
Notices: Lent 3, 12 March 2023
Good day dear friends,
This Sunday we will hear the Gospel story of Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman. It is a story that is rich in meanings and truths. Foundationally it is a story about abundant life and love, and the inclusive and universal nature of this Divine Reality. The Good News is that there is no “outside” of God. This Living Reality is within us waiting to be discovered.
Love
Father Gerald+
Holy Communion every Sunday at 11am.
2022 tax receipts are now ready for pickup on the table at the entrance to the Oratory.
Parish Breakfast on Saturday, March 18 from 8 to 11am. All are welcome.
After liturgy on Palm Sunday April 2, we will be doing an Easter wreath activity with the children. This will highlight the life of Jesus from Palm Sunday to Ascension and how endings can also be beginnings. All materials will be provided. Please spread the word and let Lynn (683-1270) know if you will be attending.

A new six week Revive course has begun on “Engaging in Scripture” – How to read and meditate with the Bible. Please keep this important discipling ministry in your prayer.
“Revive” 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.
Annual Reports for 2022 are now due. Send them to Father Gerald as soon as possible.
A note from the recorders: Please use your regular name on contribution envelopes (not nick names).
If you are sick with any flu like symptoms, please stay home.
“Come and see” (John 1:39). Remember to pray about and encourage your family and friends to share in our community of faith.

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
Please let Valerie know if you want your donation to be anonymous.
