  • Things Bright and Beautiful
    Dear Pastors and Worship Leaders, We hope you will find plenty of resources to aid in the discipleship of your congregation. Below you will find scripture references, quotes, reflections and more to help inspire your teaching. Scripture References: All links are to the New Revised Standard Version During the month of October, the Revised Common Lectionary provides us with an opportunity to explore the significant differences between creation care and creation worship. For the Sunday of October 12, the story of Aaron and the golden calf in Exodus 32: 1-14 reminds us that worshiping anyone or anything other than the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is idolatry. With that distinction in mind, we are nonetheless called to celebrate God’s creation and honor the role we’ve been given as stewards of it. The celebration of St. Francis of Assisi on October 4 reminds us of this calling to care for God’s creatures and to celebrate the bounty of God’s goodness to us, manifested in the essential goodness of creation. Genesis 1 “And God saw that it was good” Genesis 1 is the Biblical source for Cecil F. Alexander’s 1848 hymn, All Things Bright and Beautiful. Bible’s teaching on protecting God and nature Hymn: All Things Bright and Beautiful Reflection: The Christmas Animals By Pastor Glenn Pease Luke 2:1-20 In His birth our Lord Jesus identified with the animal kingdom. He was born in a stable meant for the shelter of animals. He was laid in a manger meant for the feeding of animals.

  • July 3, 2020 Doubting Thomas: John 20:24-29 Diane Mccormack, IHM
    July 3, 2020 Doubting Thomas: John 20:24-29 Diane McCormack, IHM There are biblical precursors to Thomas the Doubter and we’ll spend a few minutes looking at them. Abraham: When God told Abraham that he and Sarah would bear a child he fell on his face and laughed because he was 100 years old and Sarah was 90. Sarah: She too laughed and when God asked Abraham why she laughed he reminded Abraham that nothing was too hard for the Lord. Sarah lied and denied that she laughed – undoubtedly because she thought it absurd that at her age she’d become a mother David: In Psalm 13:1-2, David asked God “Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?” Job: God rebuked Job for questioning God’s presence with him. There is a lengthy litany of Job’s wailings and complaints but, in the end, Job tells God that in the past he heard about God but now he saw God and he repented in dust and ashes Moses: When God called Moses to bring his people out of Egypt, Moses doubted himself. He told God that the people would never believe him; they wouldn’t do what he would tell them to do; that he was not a good speaker; that he had a speech impediment; and after each of Moses’ excuses, God assured and reassured him that he would be with Moses and even then, Moses told God to send someone else! Then God got angry and told Moses he’d send his brother Aaron, who was a good speaker, to be his spokesman.

  • The Story of MOTHER Teresa of Calcutta (Died Sept
    sacred story the story of MOTHER Teresa of Calcutta (died sept. 5, 1997) LESSON NOTES FOCUS: Mother TERESA OF CALCUTTA CARED FOR THE SICK AND POOR FOR GOD. THE MATERIAL ● LOCATION: THE MYSTERY OF PENTECOST SHELF, THIRD SHELF, BESIDE ST. AUGUSTINE ● PIECES: mother teresa of calcutta booklet, A SARI LIKE SHE WORE (WHITE WITH BLUE TRIM) WITH A CROSS PINNED TO IT, A BOWL & CLOTH, A WOODEN PLAqUE WITH THE IMAGE OF A DOVE AND THE WORD “PEACE.” ● UNDERLAY: GREEN FELT BACKGROUND Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu was born of Albanian parents in Skopje in 1910 When she entered the Loreto convent in Ireland she took the name Teresa from Theresa of Lisieux at the age of 18. The nuns sent her to their convent in India where she took her final vows in 1937. In 1948 she left the convent to serve the poorest people in Calcutta. She won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979. The nuns who continue her work are known as the Sisters of Charity. Teresa was beatified by the Roman Catholic Church in 2003, but has not yet been canonized, so she has no day of remembrance. NOTES ON THE MATERIAL Mother Teresa of Calcutta’s story sits on a small, shallow tray about 8" square, with sides about 2" deep. It has a groove in the front to slide the booklet in so the chil- dren can see it when they approach the Mystery of Pentecost shelf. The booklet is 4.25" x 5.5". The cover has an image of Teresa on it that matches the figure used in the introductory lessons on the communion of saints.

  • Biography Mother Teresa
    Biography Mother Teresa Mother Teresa (1910-1997) was a Roman Catholic nun, who devoted her life to serving the poor and destitute around the world. She spent many years in Calcutta, India where she founded the Missionaries of Charity, a religious congregation devoted to helping those in great need. In 1979, Mother Teresa was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and has become a symbol of charitable selfless work. She was beatified in 2003, the first step on the path to sainthood, within the Catholic church. “It is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the doing. It is not how much we give, but how much love we put in the giving.” – Mother Teresa Short Biography Mother Teresa Mother Teresa was born, 1910, in Skopje, capital of the Republic of Macedonia. Little is known about her early life, but at a young age she felt a calling to be a nun and serve through helping the poor. At the age of 18 she was given permission to join a group of nuns in Ireland. After a few months of training, with the Sisters of Loreto, she was then given permission to travel to India. She took her formal religious vows in 1931, and chose to be named after St Therese of Lisieux – the patron saint of missionaries. On her arrival in India, she began by working as a teacher, however the widespread poverty of Calcutta made a deep impression on her; and this led to her starting a new order called “The Missionaries of Charity”.

  • Nobel Peace Prize Acceptance Speech
    Mother Teresa - Nobel Lecture Nobel Lecture, 11 December, 1979 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I36Nistc9wE Copyright © Norsk Rikskringkasting AS 2011 Nobel Lecture1 As we have gathered here together to thank God for the Nobel Peace Prize I think it will be beautiful that we pray the prayer of St. Francis of Assisi which always surprises me very much - we pray this prayer every day after Holy Communion, because it is very fitting for each one of us, and I always wonder that 4-500 years ago as St. Francis of Assisi composed this prayer that they had the same difficulties that we have today, as we compose this prayer that fits very nicely for us also. I think some of you already have got it - so we will pray together.2 Let us thank God for the opportunity that we all have together today, for this gift of peace that reminds us that we have been created to live that peace, and Jesus became man to bring that good news to the poor. He being God became man in all things like us except sin, and he proclaimed very clearly that he had come to give the good news. The news was peace to all of good will and this is something that we all want - the peace of heart - and God loved the world so much that he gave his son - it was a giving - it is as much as if to say it hurt God to give, because he loved the world so much that he gave his son, and he gave him to Virgin Mary, and what did she do with him? As soon as he came in her life - immediately she went in haste to give that good news, and as she came into the house of her cousin, the child - the unborn child - the child in the womb of Elizabeth, leapt with joy.

"The fruit of silence is prayer; the fruit of prayer is faith; the fruit of faith is love; the fruit of love is service; the fruit of service is peace" (Collopy, 31). Service and love for the destitute were Mother Teresa's methods to bring the world one step closer to peace. The extraordinary nun lived a life of self-sacrifice within the Catholic Church. She sacrificed her health, comfort, family and all worldly goods to dedicate her every breath to improving the lives of the poor in India, Africa, Eastern Europe and the rest of the world. Her spirituality and duty to God strengthened her relentless actions against hate and poverty.
