As we end the church year, celebrating Christ the King Sunday, we are invited to consider whom we serve. There are many things, projects, people in our lives which claim our attention, time and resources. What is most important to us? What is most true for us? Jesus says he comes to witness to the truth. What is our truth?  

Deciding what is true is not an easy exercise these days. We have so many conflicting and confusing sources for information. One thing of which we can be absolutely sure: the unconditional love of God, connecting us in an eternal bond with one another. All of creation is interconnected. We belong to one another and we need to take care of each other and this ‘fragile earth, our island home’. 

The world may confuse and confound us. News may swirl around us. But the love of God is true, today, tomorrow and always.  

In thanksgiving,

Mary Kay+

Pray for those who suffer in body, mind or spirit: Colgate, Mary, John, Abby, Ken, Annie, Janet, Ginny, Stacey, Zakary, Madeline, Bob, Sofia, Richard, Michele, Madison, Len, Grace, Shirley, Sasha and all those being prayed for by our prayer teams.

We pray for those who have died: Richard, Pat, Gene, Jerry, David, Margaret, Kelly, Anita, Stefan, Marvin and Heather; and those who have lost a loved one through death: the Whitlock family, the Nutwell family, the Hayes family, the Sonnthal family, the Yealdhall family, the Mellish family and the Simmons family. 

We pray for our clergy, vestry, ministries, church staff, school staff, parents, and children. 

Loving God, we pray for all those who continue to be affected by the pandemic. 

We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.
