AOC Sunday Report – Fourth Sunday after Easter

Happy Fourth Sunday after Easter!

The AOC Sunday Report can be found RIGHT HERE!

This morning we have very good sermons from Bishop Roy and Revs Jack and Bryan. Each one of them is quite a bit different and very enjoyable.  Rev Jack brings the Propers together today.    His sermon can be viewed on video HERE -> https://youtu.be/ZXRdx8RmLOc

In the Collect, we acknowledge we want to follow our own hearts and not God’s direction as we are but imperfect creatures with free will.  Only God can provide the needed direction and we have to rely on Him to help us get our unruly wills under control and back on the path towards righteousness.  In his General Epistle, James points out all that is good comes from and is of God, who never changes.  James counsels thought before speech, patience and attention to God’s will.  In his Gospel, John relates Jesus telling His disciples of His need to leave so the Holy Ghost can come to help us.  It all comes together.  Having trouble visualizing that?  Read or listen to Rev Jack’s sermon.

There are always a lot of people who need your prayer.  Please take a little time to pray.  Start with the Smouse family, Tricia, Shamu, Laurie and work out from there.

If you are having a hard time, focusing on life, you might want to consider opening your heart to the Holy Ghost, the Third God Guy for guidance. He can be a big help.

Jennifer, wife of Bishop Jose Rios, the AOC Bishop in Columbia has been very active in children's welfare.  Her monthly report can be downloaded RIGHT HERE.  I beg you to read the report, for our Marines it is mostly pictures.  You know we never ask for money, we try to fund everything ourselves.  This is an exception.  If you have any spare funds, you can send them to the Worldwide HQ and they will be sent to Jennifer.  No overhead, just good work.
