SERVING IN WORSHIP

Preacher/Presider: St. David’s/Trinity           Musician: Joshua Bratvold

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

FIRST READING  

Deuteronomy 5:12-15

Observe the sabbath day and keep it holy, as the Lord your God commanded you. For six days you shall labour and do all your work. But the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God; you shall not do any work—you, or your son or your daughter, or your male or female slave, or your ox or your donkey, or any of your livestock, or the resident alien in your towns, so that your male and female slave may rest as well as you. Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you out from there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm; therefore the Lord your God commanded you to keep the sabbath day. 

SECOND READING  

2 Corinthians 4:5-12

For we do not proclaim ourselves; we proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and ourselves as your slaves for Jesus’ sake. For it is the God who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness’, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that it may be made clear that this extraordinary power belongs to God and does not come from us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible in our bodies. For while we live, we are always being given up to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus may be made visible in our mortal flesh. So death is at work in us, but life in you. 

GOSPEL READING  

Mark 2:23-3:6                                                                                                                          One sabbath he was going through the cornfields; and as they made their way his disciples began to pluck heads of grain. The Pharisees said to him, ‘Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the sabbath?’ And he said to them, ‘Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need of food? He entered the house of God, when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and he gave some to his companions.’ Then he said to them, ‘The sabbath was made for humankind, and not humankind for the sabbath; so the Son of Man is lord even of the sabbath.’ 

Again he entered the synagogue, and a man was there who had a withered hand. They watched him to see whether he would cure him on the sabbath, so that they might accuse him. And he said to the man who had the withered hand, ‘Come forward.’ Then he said to them, ‘Is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the sabbath, to save life or to kill?’ But they were silent. He looked around at them with anger; he was grieved at their hardness of heart and said to the man, ‘Stretch out your hand.’ He stretched it out, and his hand was restored. The Pharisees went out and immediately conspired with the Herodians against him, how to destroy him.

Congratulations to Anne Mathewson on the completion of Sacraments Elder Training.  Anne can now officiate at baptisms and preside at communion. 
God’s blessings be with her and her ministry.

King of Glory is once again supporting On Eagle’s Wings and their Summer Bible Camps in the North. A collection basket for free will offerings to buy supplies is on the back table. We will need to gather all monies by June 23.  To date $176 has been donated.  Thank you for your generosity.

Thank you to all involved in sewing the quilts and Comfort Quilts that have been made by members of King of Glory and their friends.   54 quilts were made:  50 for Bishop Klein School, the Wellness Centre and Interval House and 4 Comfort Quilts. Prodigious thimbles full of thanks to the industrious sewers Bev Gregory, Karen McKenzie, Carol Sarich, Doreen Matschke, Lois Rombough and Sherry Andrews.

We have reconstituted the Worship Committee to help plan our worship services and provide feedback about our worship life together.  We would like one more person to serve on the committee.  If you would like to serve on this Committee [it would meet about every six weeks], please contact Pastor Michael.

At the May 22, 2024 meeting of Church Council it was decided that beginning in September all our Sunday Worship services will be at 10:30.  Feedback from both King of Glory and St. David’s/Trinity members and markedly lower attendance at the 6:30 service are what prompted the decision.
