Hello all, Herewith a recording of this morning's service at St. John the Divine, the 18th Sunday after Pentecost.
Next Sunday we will celebrate Thanksgiving. If you are planning to attend church do remember to call (250-334-4331) or email (admin@sjtdcourtenay.ca) the office before Friday at noon, to reserve one of the limited seats.
And a special prayer of thanksgiving for the pets in our lives and all creatures in the animal world, as this week we remember St. Francis (Oct. 4th) and St. Clare (Oct. 11th) of Assisi and their love for nature.
“Blessed are you, Lord God, maker of all living creatures. You called forth fish in the sea, birds in the air and animals on the land. We ask you to bless this pet and we give thanks for the companionship and joy it brings to our household. May we always praise you for all your beauty in creation. Blessed are you, Lord our God, in all your creatures! Amen.”
With every blessing,
Alan
