    Propers for the Fourth Sunday after Trinity

    The Book of Common Prayer 1928

     The Collect.

    O GOD, the protector of all that trust in thee, without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy; Increase and multiply upon us thy mercy; that, thou being our ruler and guide, we may so pass through things temporal, that we finally lose not the things eternal. Grant this, O heavenly Father, for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

     

    The Epistle. Rom. viii. 18.

    I RECKON that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

     

    The Gospel. St. Luke vi. 36.

    BE ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother’s eye.

Announcements and other information:

 

Expanding our outreach to the world:  Father Hutchens is not only our new rector – he remains the Canon of the Cathedral of the Anglican Diocese of Kibungo in the African nation of Rwanda, headed by the Right Reverend Emmanuel Ntazinda.  As such, we now have the opportunity and privilege to be a blessing and encouragement to our brothers and sisters in Christ there.  “Stay tuned” to this weekly newsletter and to our website for more information to come! In the meantime, please be in prayer for the Anglican Church in Rwanda, particularly that God would move those in authority in Rwanda to re-open a number of churches that have been closed by the Rwandan government.

Here is our parish office schedule:

Monday – Priest’s Sabbath (day off)
Tuesday – Office open 10AM to 5 PM

Other times are available by appointment only.

If you ever experience an emergency or urgent situation that requires the presence of your priest – Father Hutchens expects, encourages and asks you to contact him immediately, day or night, any day of the week. Cards with his phone and email information are in the narthex – please take one and keep it with your personal “in case of emergency” information.
