Still needed $9,516 Christmas in the Park I’m very excited by our July community event. The Market Center Park (Eureka & Trenton Rd) is an excellent venue for a pig roast and an evening outdoor concert. I hope that many of you are planning to join us on Saturday, July 28 after 5:00 Mass. But I’m also praying that you’ll invite one or two unchurched family members or friends. This event is one of the “shallow entry points” of which I spoke a few weeks ago. Our work of evangelization might not begin with inviting someone to church on the weekend, but rather with encountering Catholics at less formal and intimidating gatherings. When we invite, then we are on the path to accompany someone on their spiritual journey. When they encounter our St Cyprian community, they are likely to want more! PPC The Parish Pastoral Council has two open seats for our 2018-19 meetings. We need one general member for the PPC and a new Downriver Vicariate Pastoral Council representative who also sits on our PPC. The PPC meets 8 times a year on Tuesday nights. The VPC meets 4 times a year under the direction of the vicar. If you’re interested in either of these positions, please contact me by email or phone and we can discuss it. ST.

But like Jesus, we are called to remember that our true identities are established in God and that He will use each of us as His instruments of love, mercy and grace. Our witness will be real and authentic if we dedicate ourselves to living in intimate relationship with Him, experience ongoing conversion and grow in holiness. Despite the weaknesses and limitations we may experience in our human flesh, the Spirit of God will continue to build us up, encourage us and inspire the world through us – and the Holy Spirit will use every means possible to accomplish the mighty deeds of God. Let’s pray that our eyes and ears will be open to recognize God’s Spirit working in our everyday lives and that our hearts and minds will be open and receptive to what He wants to reveal through us and to us. Who knows what God will be able to accomplish for His Glory! “Then he said to me: “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: Not by might, and not by power, but by my spirit, says the Lord of hosts.” Zechariah 4:6 Keep enjoying these summer days and thank God for His daily, generous providence.

  • Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018
    Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018 Conforming to General Convention 2018 1 Preface Christians have since ancient times honored men and women whose lives represent heroic commitment to Christ and who have borne witness to their faith even at the cost of their lives. Such witnesses, by the grace of God, live in every age. The criteria used in the selection of those to be commemorated in the Episcopal Church are set out below and represent a growing consensus among provinces of the Anglican Communion also engaged in enriching their calendars. What we celebrate in the lives of the saints is the presence of Christ expressing itself in and through particular lives lived in the midst of specific historical circumstances. In the saints we are not dealing primarily with absolutes of perfection but human lives, in all their diversity, open to the motions of the Holy Spirit. Many a holy life, when carefully examined, will reveal flaws or the bias of a particular moment in history or ecclesial perspective. It should encourage us to realize that the saints, like us, are first and foremost redeemed sinners in whom the risen Christ’s words to St. Paul come to fulfillment, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” The “lesser feasts” provide opportunities for optional observance. They are not intended to replace the fundamental celebration of Sunday and major Holy Days. As the Standing Liturgical Commission and the General Convention add or delete names from the calendar, successive editions of this volume will be published, each edition bearing in the title the date of the General Convention to which it is a response.
