Pastoral Epistle – January 27, 2022
Beloved congregation,
Greetings in Jesus!
“My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.” Psalm 121:2
I pray for encouragement for each of us. Our only solace is our Father in heaven. He is the creator of heaven and earth. He is always by our side to help us.
Fifth Sunday:
This Sunday, January 30th we will have a time for songs and testimony. Please let me know if you want to participate in it. Your participation will encourage others a lot.
Confirmation:
Please remember our Confirmands in prayer as they prepare for Confirmation, God willing on Sunday, March 6th. Our next Confirmation class is on Wednesday, February 2nd at 7.30 pm. All confirmands please attend without fail.
We have just heard from the diocese that the College of Bishops has left it to the discretion of the Parishes for in person service. So we can begin in person service following Amber restrictions.
We are preparing for our Annual Vestry meeting. Kindly uphold in prayer. Pray for God’s choice of leaders for this year.
2024 will be a historical year for our church. The Church of St. Bede will complete a hundred years of her ministry. We must begin planning for our Centenary Celebrations. Please remember in prayer.
All Parochial leaders, please send in your Annual Vestry Reports by the end of this month.
