Icon of Christ Healing Peter’s Mother in law. Visoki Decani Monastery Church, Kosovo
“When they found (Jesus), they said to him, ‘Everyone is searching for you.’ He answered, ‘Let us go on to the neighbouring towns, so that I may proclaim the message there also; for that is what I came out to do.’ And he went throughout Galilee, proclaiming the message in their synagogues and casting out demons.” ~Mark 1:37-39
This week we will focus on discipleship. Who is a disciple? What does a disciple do? God chooses many disciples each and every day yet many don’t consider themselves in that category. We serve God when we serve as a disciple in the world.
This is the first Sunday in February. As is the custom at St. Andrew’s, we will be sharing Communion. In January, Session has agreed that the time was right for returning to pre-Covid Communion practices. Therefore, we will be passing the elements to congregants from a common tray. We are asking people to sit close to the aisle ends of the pews to help facilitate distribution. It is the practice of the congregation to wait until the elements are distributed to everyone, and then partake together. If you are not comfortable taking the bread and an individual cup from a common tray, please feel free to bring your own elements from home so that you may commune with us. And, if you are worshipping from home via the livestream, perhaps take a moment before the service to prepare some bread and a cup so that you also may participate in Communion with us.
Organ preludes will begin around 10:25 a.m. and the service will commence at 10:30 a.m. The link for this morning’s service is: https://youtube.com/live/3ev06MtVTgg?feature=share
