From the Rector: Veterans Day

Almighty God, this Veterans Day we commend to your gracious care and keeping all the men and women of our armed forces at home and abroad, those under active duty and those who have completed their service. Defend them day by day with your heavenly grace; strengthen them in their trials and temptations; give them courage to face the perils which beset them; and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

— Book of Common Prayer

Gracious God, we give thanks for military men and women, both from the past and present, and for their courageous service and sacrifice to our country and its people to secure the blessings of life, liberty, and justice for all. May our remembrance be a timely reminder that our freedom was purchased at high cost, and should not be taken for granted. Give us resolve to labor in faithful service to you until all share the benefits of freedom, justice, and peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

- Episcopal Diocese of Texas, North Region

As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 

John 15:9-13

Faithfully,

Rev. Kurt

Small Group Bible Study

Walking through the Gospel of Mark

Chapter One of Mark’s Gospel is finally completed!

SO much happened! John the Baptist’s ministry in the wilderness. Jesus appearing on the scene, his incarnation, his time of discernment in his own wilderness, his first public words:

The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near (is at hand). Repent, and believe in the good news (gospel).

Then first days of Jesus’ ministry happened:

(calling fishermen: two casters…two menders)

(teaching with authority!!!)

(casting out unclean spirits)

(healing the sick)

(time alone in prayer)

(focused on the message)

(choosing to make someone “clean”)

Join us for Chapter Two…and BEYOND!!!

NEW TIME: Mondays at 4:00 pm
