Wednesday Evenings Are Back!

Once again this summer we will be offering Wednesday evening get togethers.  This year we are focusing on fellowship – something that we do well at Christ Church.   Our format will be a light pot-luck dinner, accompanied by inspirational music and a short meditation featuring different musicians.  This past Wednesday, thirty parishioners attended and we welcomed Sally Campbell’s music ministry – it was inspirational to all!  Please plan to join us in the Clarke’s backyard on:

X      Wednesday, August 18th

Featuring Amy Turner (Rev. Michael’s daughter from Ottawa)

X      Wednesday, September 1st

The BBQ “protein” (with a vegetarian option) will be provided.  There is a sign-up sheet at the Parish Office to help round out a yummy feast.  The evenings will start at 7:00 pm.

If you have never attended a Back Yard event, you will be pleasantly surprised how friendly

and welcoming they are!

A Morning Resolve

I will try this day to live a simple, sincere and serene life, repelling promptly every thought of discontent, anxiety, discouragement, impurity and self-seeking; cultivating cheerfulness, magnanimity, charity, and the habit of holy silence; exercising economy of expenditure, generosity  in giving, carefulness in conversation, diligence in appointed service, fidelity to every trust and a childlike faith in God.

In particular I will try to be faithful in those habits of prayer, work, study, physical exercise, eating and sleep which I believe the Holy Spirit has shown me to be right.

And as I cannot in my own strength do this, nor even with a hope of success attempt, I look to thee, O Lord God my Father, Jesus my Saviour and ask for the gift of the Holy Spirit.

A Wee Bit of Humour

A woman had just returned to her home from an evening of church services, when she was startled by an intruder. She caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables and yelled: “Stop! Acts 2:38!”  The burglar stopped in his tracks. The woman calmly called the police and explained what she had done.

As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar: “Why did you just stand there? All the old lady did was yell a scripture to you.”

“Scripture?” replied the burglar.  “She said she had an Ax and Two 38s!

Remember knowing scripture can save your life - in more ways than one!

 

By the way…here’s the scripture reference:

Peter said to them, "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
