Advent Study.The Advent Study (in person) offering begins on Tuesday, Nov. 28th. We begin with a modest soup and bread supper at 5:30 p.m. and then as we move toward 6:00 p.m. we begin our study. Fr. Bryan will provide the first soup and bread supper offering and would love it if those who attend would step up and take on one of the next Tuesdays - Dec. 5, 12 or 19. There will be a signup at the first gathering. The second method of the Advent Study is a take home or take to work variety. The Advent Study Booklets will be at the back of the church and at the entrance to the Hall from Sunday onwards. There is no charge for the material. You are encouraged to take it home and as you have time in your schedule engage in the study at home.
The title of the study is “Living Well Through Advent 2023 - Practicing Wonder with All Your Heart, Soul, Strength, and Mind”.
It is my hope that we will have a wonder filled Advent as we prepare for the celebration of the birthing in time of the timeless one.
With prayer for a blessed Advent,
Bryan +

On November 23rd we remember St.Clement of Rome.Can you imagine what it would have been like to be taught personally about Jesus by the apostle Paul or Peter? Clement of Rome was a first-century convert who had that incredible privilege. If you look in your New Testament at Philippians 4:3, you will see a Clement referred to who very well could be the same Clement we are looking at in this issue. |
