June/July Notices 2023
Notices: Summer Notices 2023
Good day dear friends,
The summer season is upon us. This is the time of year when we are invited to create some space in our lives for some rest and recreation. The Newfoundland summer season is short, and it is helpful to our overall wellness to lighten up our calendars and to get out into the beautiful creation that is our island home. We are the church, the People of God, wherever we are. And it is important that we continue to be church during these summer months. Your prayer and your devotional reading is important to maintain, along with participation in the church’s Sunday liturgy. Please remember your regular and ongoing financial offerings during these summer months, as our financial commitments do not take a holiday. Praying for a blessed summer season in the church and in your homes.
Love
Father Gerald+
Holy Communion every Sunday at 11am.

The Sunday Liturgy is live steamed in real time on our Parish YouTube Channel at 11am on Sunday mornings (and can be watched anytime after that on YouTube). It can also be picked up on our parish Facebook anytime after 12 noon on Sundays.
For those joining us on-line, we invite you to use this prayer for Spiritual Communion:
Lord Jesus, I believe that you are truly present in the Holy Sacrament. However, since I cannot now receive you sacramentally, I beseech you to come spiritually into my heart. I unite myself with you, and embrace you with all the affections of my soul. Let me never be separated from you. Let me live and die in your love. Amen.
Please use eTransfers to finance@anglicanresurrection.com to continue to support our ministry. You can also contact our treasurer Calvin Adams to set up automatic deposit. Or simply mail your offerings to Box 142 South River, A0A 3W0.
When making your wills, please remember the Parish of the Resurrection.

With reference to any infectious disease, prevention is the best approach to protection. Individuals are advised to take precautions around general hygiene and public health. Clean, Cover and Contain is the recommended approach.
Clean: wash hands regularly with soap and water or hand sanitizer.
Cover: use a tissue or arm to cover coughs and sneezes as opposed to the hands which frequently touch other surfaces and people.
Contain: individuals with influenza-like symptoms should stay at home to minimize contact with others and to treat the symptoms of the illness.
If you have any symptions for cold or flu, please stay at home.
