Rector's Reflections
|
The Greatest Bread
|
Jesus uses the image of bread to demonstrate that, even compared to all the great things God has done before, God's greatest miracle is in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Jesus, the bread of life, is a greater miracle than the manna God sent in the dessert (Exod. 16:14), greater than the bread the angel brought to restore Elijah (1 Kings 19:4-8), greater even than the loaves Jesus had just multiplied to feed a crowd of more than five thousand people (John 6:1-14)! In Jesus, God gives bread for the journey-not only for this life, but also into eternal life.
We're so familiar with this image that it loses some of its original power. But the claim Jesus is making here is a radical one-and a dangerous one. To Jesus' original audience, his claim to be the bread from heaven, the Son of God, must have sounded like outrageous blasphemy. "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know?" they say. "How can he now say, 'I have come down from heaven'?" (John 6:42). Who does this guy think he is?
Jesus' message is both outrageous and outrageously comforting: anyone who eats this bread will live forever. The Son of God meets us in this life and gives us real and certain hope for eternal life. Normal bread is amazing in its own right; manna is miraculous. But Jesus Christ is the true bread and the greatest miracle of all. [Sunday and Seasons, 2018]
Sunday we worship inside at 8:00 am and in the courtyard at 10:00 am. BYOC - Bring Your Own Chair (or use one from the parish hall). Taste and see that the Lord is good!
In Christ,
Bill +

August Worship = Hymn Lotto
|
This August our "Holy Experiment" during worship at both 8:00 and 10:00 am Eucharists will be "Hymn Lotto". In your bulletin each week will be a Recessional Hymn ballot. You are invited to vote for the hymn of your choice* and when you come up for communion, place it in a basket at the baptismal font. At the end of worship, one ballot will be drawn at random and our gifted Minister of Music Holly Simmons will play the selected hymn.
*The fine print = Any hymn from the Hymnal 1982 is eligible (even Christmas Carols).

Newcomer Classes
|
Newcomer's classes help orient and welcome those who are new to this faith community and to the broader Episcopal Church. We offer a three-week class designed to answer your questions about All Saints and the Episcopal Church and a reception to meet parish leaders. Classes meet on Sundays 9:00-9:45 in the Beck Memorial Library. We will welcome newcomers in worship at both services on Sunday, September 9th during Bishop Rob's visit to All Saints.
August 12: Worship and Beliefs
August 19: Newcomer Reception 3:00 pm at The Siracusa's, 66 Clark Road, Wolfeboro
August 26: Christian Formation and Discipleship
So come, you who have much faith and you who have little, you who have been here long and you who have not been here that long, you who have tried and you who have failed. Come, not because the Church invites you; It is Christ who invites you to be known and fed here.
(Adapted from The Iona Community, Iona Abbey Worship Book, (Glasgow, UK: Wild Goose Publications, 2001), 53.)

Responding to the Generosity + Hospitality of God
|
Ministry Moments:
Responding to the Generosity + Hospitality of God
Blessed are you, O God, ruler of heaven and earth. Day by day you shower us with blessings. As you have raised us to new life in Christ, give us glad and generous hearts, ready to praise you and to respond to those in need, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen.
- Each of us has been gathered by God to be in community and share the gift of our authentic selves with others through All Saints Church.
- Each of us has been called to live a life reflecting and responding to the generosity and hospitality of God we know in Jesus.
- Each of us has been called to share ourselves in living out Jesus' command to love God and neighbor-this is stewardship
This summer at announcement time during worship, our stewardship team has asked a variety of individuals to share when and why they came to All Saints, how this faith community blesses and sustains them spiritually, and which activities or programs or ministries they share their gifts and blessings through. We hope these offerings will help us better understand who God has gathered to share the Good News and do God's work in this time and place.

Reclaiming Jesus Bible Study and Discussion
|
A group of Protestant and Roman Catholic leaders, including Episcopal Church Presiding Bishop Michael Curry, have begun what they call a campaign to "reclaim Jesus" from those who they believe are using Christian theology for political gain. The group says the church's role is to change the world through the life and love of Jesus Christ, while the government should serve the common good by protecting justice and peace, rewarding good behavior while restraining bad behavior. "When that role is undermined by political leadership, faith leaders must stand up and speak out," the signers say, citing the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. who said the church is the conscience of the state, not its master or its servant.
On Wednesday, August 15th at 6:30 pm in the Beck Library we gather for an hour of Bible Study and discussion about:
"To Protect and Seek Justice"
