Christianity means community through Jesus Christ and in Jesus Christ. No Christian community is more or less than this. Whether it be a brief, single encounter or the daily fellowship of years, Christian community is only this. We belong to one another only through and in Jesus Christ.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship

Collect
Almighty and everlasting God, you are always more ready to hear than we to pray, and to give more than we either desire or deserve: Pour upon us the abundance of your mercy, forgiving us those things of which our conscience is afraid, and giving us those good things for which we are not worthy to ask, except through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ our Savior; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

PRAYER REQUESTS & BOX
The Daughters of the King support your prayer needs and wishes. Each Sunday a prayer team will be available to pray with you after the Worship Service in the choir area after the 10:30 service. If you would like additional information, please see a DOK member.
They also have a intercessory prayer box on the table in the Narthex to deposit prayer requests. Prayer request cards may be found in the pews and beside the box in the Narthex. Daughters pray daily. All prayers are confidential. Each person is prayed for one month. If you wish for continued prayers, please complete another request card or contact a Daughter.
You may call the church office (903-455-5030) and specify it is for the DOK intercessory prayer list. You can hand the card to a Daughter (she is always wearing her cross).

My book Friendship: The Heart of Being Human aims to do a lot of things, one of which is to highlight the central role of friendship in scripture. God created us for friendship; we are fully human when we are able to live with each other as friends. We lost this in the Fall; Jesus’ Incarnation reestablishes the possibility of friendship between us and God and friendship with each other.
I have some thoughts about what this means for parish life.

Diocesan Retreat 2021
For laity, bishops, priests, and deacons--
all the ministers of the church.
Join Bishop Michael Smith and Canon Carrie Boren Headington for 48 hours of retreat, scheduled for October 17-19 at the Prothro Center in Pottsboro.
There will be time for prayer, reflection, conversation, and rest. The theme will be the mission pursuits of Prayer, Evangelism, and Service as viewed through the lens of Benedictine Spirituality. In the Catechism of the Book of Common Prayer we learn: “The Church pursues its mission as it prays and worships, proclaims the Gospel, and promotes justice, peace, and love” (BCP 855).
In addition, participants are asked to read beforehand Benedictine Promises for Everyday People by Rachel Srubas.
For laity, bishops, priests, and deacons--all the ministers of the church.
