AOC Sunday Report - First Sunday after The Epiphany

 

Happy First Sunday after The Epiphany!

The AOC Sunday Report can be downloaded RIGHT HERE!

We have excellent sermons today from Bishop Jerry, Roy, Jack and Dennis. We also have an excellent sermon from Rev Bryan. Each is quite different and quite good.  Bishop Jack's sermon can be viewed on video HERE -> https://youtu.be/TDVtYMAH7JI

Bishop Jack’s sermon looks at the unifying message of the Collect, Epistle and Gospel and examine how they share a common message as we celebrate the revealing of our Lod to the world.  After we acknowledge God’s place in the universe, we go on to ask God to listen to us and give us His peace in our hearts. God is perfect. His hearing is perfect, ours is not.  In the Epistle Paul reminds us that each of us have of individual talents important help the Church further its cause.  Look at John the Baptist, out in the wilderness; not in the fancy building, the gold- plated temple, but out where he could prepare straight the way for the Lord.  It all comes together.

There are always a lot of people who need your prayer, today is not the exception.  Please start with Tom, Christine, Tricia, Shamu and Laurie; work out from there.

There's a lot going on in the and year ahead, sometimes it is hard to sift the wheat from the chaff. Might I suggest if you're having difficulties to try to invite the Holy Ghost further in your heart that you might have comfort strength and guidance?

There's an epic week ahead, it may be hard to find but it can be done.

Godspeed,

I remain yours, in Christ,
