Service for the Second Sunday After Pentecost - June 19, 2022

Today is Father's Day in Canada, and so many will mark this day by remembering and honouring their fathers who have loved, cared for, guided, and raised them up. For many of us, this is a day of deep gratitude, and it is right that we give thanks along with them for those who truly embodied the gift of fatherhood.

For some of us today is less straightforward, and perhaps more of a struggle... perhaps due to difficulties or losses in one's parental relationships, or for those whom the experience of pursuing fatherhood has been one of sorrow and disappointment. Along with them, we do well to acknowledge that family life is often a challenging road, and to listen to and honour their sufferings, which are also known and shared by our loving God. 

Whether today is a day of celebration for you, or a day of difficulty, or some mixture of both: may you receive God's blessing today exactly as it is needed. May God surround you and those you love, as well as all those who have loved and supported you, with peace, hope, fellowship, kindness, and understanding.

Service for Trinity Sunday - June 12, 2022

Today is Trinity Sunday, in which we Christians reflect with wonder upon the revelation of the Living God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit: One God, Three Persons. 

Explaining the depths of the Trinity is not the point. Instead, we are invited to come to know this Triune God, who has offered this self-revelation in Jesus Christ, and who draws us into God's love through the Holy Spirit at work in us. 

Here is a great video by the Bible Project exploring how God has come to be known as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Today we celebrate the ascension of Jesus the risen Lord to the right hand of God the Father to reign forever and ever. ​But what does Christ's reign look like?

The Lord is Risen! Alleluia!

Today people all over our country are celebrating Mother's Day: remembering and honouring the mothers who have loved, cared for, guided, and raised them up. For many of us, this is a day of thankfulness and joy, and we do well to give thanks along with them for those who truly embodied the gift of motherhood.

For some of us today is much more complicated, and indeed painful... perhaps due to difficulties or losses in our parental relationships, especially these past few years, as many families have been separated due to the pandemic. We remember too, and grieve with those who's experience of the pursuit of motherhood has been one of sorrow and disappointment. Along with them, we do well to acknowledge that family life is often a challenging road, as well as to listen to and honour their sufferings, which are also known and shared by our loving God, as well as many others. 

Whether today is a day of joy for you, or a day of pain, or some mixture of both: may you receive God's blessing today exactly as it is needed. May God surround you and those you love, as well as all those who have loved and nurtured you, with peace, hope, fellowship, kindness, and understanding.

The Lord is Risen! Alleluia!

Today our brothers and sisters in the Orthodox tradition, including the majority of Christians in Ukraine and Russia, are celebrating Easter and the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

We continue to lift up the people of Ukraine, and to pray for God's peace to reign. Here are some prayers that have been prepared to bring these concerns to our Heavenly Father.

The Lord is Risen! Alleluia! 

Today we celebrate the Good News of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and God's gift of New Creation found in Him. Because Christ lives, we can face even the darkest days trusting that God's saving love has conquered death, shattered the powers of sin, and set us free to share His life for all eternity. 

The cross, in all it's cruelty, could not bring an end to God's Messiah, who bore its shame and terror for us, and transformed it into a sign of the unstoppable love of the Living God. Alleluia! Jesus Christ our Saviour lives!

Let us draw near to our Lord in worship, prayer, and praise.

Lord of life and power,
through the mighty resurrection of your Son, you have overcome the old order of sin and death and have made all things new in him. May we, being dead to sin and alive to you in Jesus Christ, reign with him in glory, who with you and the Holy Spirit is alive, one God, now and for ever. Amen.


Happy Easter everyone. Alleluia!

​Rob+

This Sunday our In-Person service at St. Luke's GP will be one of Lessons & Hymns, followed by Holy Communion, but with no Sermon.

In it's place, for our At-Home service you are invited to take a few moments after the Gospel to reflect on the readings, and specifically on the hope of the resurrection for yourself, our communities, and our wider world.

Service for Maundy Thursday - April 14, 2022

This is the night that Jesus our Lord washed His disciples feet, shared with them the Last Supper, and gave to us a new commandment: “Just as I have loved you,” He says “you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples,  if you have love  for one another.” (John 13:34-35). 

The word "Maundy" comes from the Latin mandatum, which means “commandment”, referring to this sacred commission Christ gave to all His followers. 

A few weeks back we shared a short video from the Bible Project exploring the Scripture's understanding of love. In case you missed it, here it is again: 
Ahavah / Love

Service for Palm & Passion Sunday - April 10, 2022

4/9/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
Today marks the beginning of Holy Week: the start of Christ's journey from the expectant praise of the crowds on Palm Sunday, through the humble, self-giving love shared on Maundy Thursday, to the horrible suffering and shame endured on the cross on Good Friday, and finally to the world-changing hope of His resurrection at Easter.

During the season of Lent we have been on a journey preparing for Holy Week through prayer, repentance, fasting, reflection, and generosity, intentionally returning to
 the basics of our faith: our calling to lives of holy love, our deep need for forgiveness and grace, and above all the gift of God's salvation in Jesus Christ the Lord.

Here is the sixth and final video in a series from the Bible Project exploring the Shema, a passage of Scripture at the heart of both the Jewish and Christian faith: "Hear, Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord is one! And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength." (Deuteronomy 6:4-5, NASB)
Meod / Strength

Instead of a Sermon this Sunday, we are invited to spend some more time reflecting on the Gospel readings, both of the triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, but also of His faithful sacrifice on the cross. In our Morning Prayer service the Gospel reading has several invitations to pause and prayerfully reflect on the unfolding story. 

Please do not rush through this time, but invite the Holy Spirit of God to make known the significance of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done. It may be beneficial to slowly read the Gospel aloud, and to make a note of any parts of the reading that especially stand out. Throughout the coming week, bring all these things to God of prayer.

We are journeying together through Lent, a sacred season of prayer, repentance, fasting, reflection, generosity, and preparation for Holy Week. 

Each year, Lent calls us to remember and return to the basics of our faith: our calling to lives of holy love, our deep need for forgiveness and grace, and above all the salvation of God in Jesus Christ the Lord.

Here is the fifth video in a series from the Bible Project exploring the Shema, a passage of Scripture at the heart of both the Jewish and Christian faith: "Hear, Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord is one! And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength." (Deuteronomy 6:4-5, NASB)
