Noticias Re"Mark"ados (Anuncios en español) Together in Faith: “But I say to you that listen, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you.” Luke 6:27-28 These words of Jesus have always been difficult to follow, but in today’s world, even more so. Division and anger abound, with many families divided within themselves. Love, patience, listening, an attempt to understand… perhaps these are the virtues we need most today. Bishop's Committee Parishioner Liaison: Every week there is an assigned member of the Bishop's Committee to serve as a Parishioner Liaison. We encourage parishioners to seek out this assigned member whenever there is a suggestion, question or concern. The liaisons will bring all comments to the monthly meeting of the Bishop's Committee to be addressed as appropriate. This week’s Parishioner Liaison is Judy Hossack. Chapel Rock Sunday: Bishop Smith has designated March 3rd as Chapel Rock Sunday throughout the Diocese. On that day, the Bishop is asking each church and congregation members to support the newly created Bishop Kirk Smith Children & Youth Campership Fund. The experiences that our campers have at Chapel Rock are life changing and extraordinary. Every year, when we read camper evaluations, camper after camper says, "That was the best week of my summer!" It is fun, Christ-centered, and provides the opportunity to grow closer to God through the beauty and power of our Episcopal Church traditions. Help send children and youth to camp this summer! There will be a collection taken to support the campership fund Sunday, March 3rd. You can also contribution online at http://bit.ly/BpSmithCamp (note the URL is case sensitive).

It may be a mystery but it surely includes our participation. As stewards, we are called to aid the poor and many others too. By our efforts, we help to bring the Kingdom of God into our world.

Noticias Re"Mark"ados (Anuncios en español) Together in Faith: When they had brought their boats to shore, Simon, James and John left everything and followed Jesus. Luke 5:11 They ‘left everything and followed Jesus.’ What a simple statement for such an incredible response! Obviously these three men were just blown away by Jesus, as would many others in the days to come. We too are called to respond to Jesus’ call… few will ‘leave everything’ but we can well ask: what is our response?

Noticias Re"Mark"ados (Anuncios en español) Together in Faith: Everyone spoke well of Jesus and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his mouth. Luke 4:22 Soon after these words of praise, the people of Nazareth changed their minds and tried to kill Jesus. During his ministry Jesus was frequently praised and condemned, and through it all, he strove to remain faithful to God’s call. His fortitude and persistence are examples for us to follow.
