It seems like we are too closed up, to filled up with complexity.&nbsp; As true as that is, God comes anyway. Christmas is about the wakening of the birthing of God in the simplicity of our hearts, in the depths of our lives and in the complexities of what our lives bring. Christ is being born in you!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wishing you and your families a Blessed and Holy Christmas, filled with the ever emerging Love of God, whom we call Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Father Gerald+<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Christmas Services:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saturday, December 24:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6:30pm Family Liturgy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>9pm Candle Light Mass<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sunday, December 25: No Liturgy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sunday, January 1: 11am Liturgy (Baptism)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are sick with any flu like symptoms, please stay home.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wednesday Community<\/strong>\u00a0Yoga, Scones and Tea, Group Meditation, The Way of Love will break after December 7 and resume later in January.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When making an eTransfer<\/strong>&nbsp;to the parish at&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:finance@anglicanresurrection.com\" class=\"\">finance@anglicanresurrection.com<\/a>, please put in the memo note what the donation is for.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A number of our parish leadership are doing the \u201cRevive\u201d program<\/strong>&nbsp;this winter.

Prayer, which takes many forms, is simply our approach to God. A daily prayer practice is about making room for the Divine in our awareness. A daily prayer practice is about consciously connecting with Christ. A daily prayer practice is about the practice of being in Love.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good time for daily prayer is at the beginning of the day, but you can find the time that works best for you. Some components to consider including in our daily prayer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li class=\"\">Bible or spiritual reading;<\/li><li class=\"\">A time of noticing what the Spirit may be teaching or inviting from the reading;<\/li><li class=\"\">A time of silence in God\u2019s loving Presence;&nbsp;<\/li><li class=\"\">Intercessions for those in need and the world.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also resources that we can use to assist our prayer, like the Book of Alternative Services and other types of prayer books, and other prayer resources like Day by Day. A resource that I like to begin my day with is Richard Rohr\u2019s Daily Meditations that you can sign up for at&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/cac.org\/\" class=\"\">cac.org<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, prayer is not just limited to when we sit with our prayer books and bibles. Prayer is everything that consciously connects us to God. Intentionally being in nature can be a form of prayer. Intentionally being with people you love is a form of prayer. Intentionally serving others is a form of prayer. And the list goes on and on. If our intention is to connect in Love, then it is a form of prayer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any questions about your daily prayer life, or would like to be supported in any way, please contact myself or any of the various leaders in the parish.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Meditation<\/strong>: Is your mind working on overload? Do you go to bed at night with racing thoughts? Are you carrying your inner burdens and worries with you everywhere you go? Or maybe you would simply like to deepen your experience of life? Learning and practicing meditation is a means to bring inner peace, compassion and contentment into our lives as they are. If you want to learn more about this, a meditation group meets at 11am on Wednesdays at the Parish of the Resurrection in South River.
