Blessing for Mother’s Day

Loving God, as a mother gives life and nourishment to her children, so you give life and care for your Church.

Bless these women, as we celebrate this day in their honor.

May they be strengthened as Christian mothers.

Let the example of their faith and love shine forth. Grant that we, their sons and daughters, may honor and appreciate them with a spirit of profound respect.

May the example of Mary, mother of Jesus, inspire them to live

their vocation as Christian mothers and call their children to faith.

Guide and protect them in challenging times and help them to

continue to trust in you all the days of their life.

Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen

SUNDAY WORSHIP

COLLECT OF THE DAY

O God, whose blessed Son made himself known to his disciples in the breaking of bread: Open the eyes of our faith, that we may behold him in all his redeeming work; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

"No one can serve two masters; for a slave will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth." – Matthew 6:24

Morsel for Meditation

The duties and cares of the day crowd about us when we awake each day – if they have not already dispelled our night’s rest. How can everything be accommodated in one day? When will I do this, when that? How will it all be accomplished? Thus agitated, we are tempted to run and rush. And so we must take the reins in hand and remind ourselves, “Let go of your plans. The first hour of your morning belongs to God. Tackle the day’s work that he charges you with, and he will give you the power to accomplish it.”

Camp Counselors Needed

We are still on the hunt for counselors at Summer Camp, individuals 19+years of age; there is no age limit. . I am asking each community of faith in the diocese to find ONE person from your community who is both willing and able to spend 1, 2, or 3 weeks at Camp All Saints (June 5-25) as a counselor to our youth at camp.

This is a new and exciting season in the life of camp. A time to staff Summer camp with a wide(er) range of individuals who love our children and love the Lord. Interested persons must be committed Christians, they must love children, they must be driven by the Holy Spirit to make Christ known to others, they must be compassionate. It will be tremendously helpful (for them) if they can navigate the rocky terrain of Camp All Saints. These are paid positions with the benefits of introducing and leading young hearts to Christ. If you know someone who would be a great counselor please contact Deacon Katie Gerber at kgerber@edod.org or 469-446-3536.
