What’s On

Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ But the wise answered, saying, ‘Since there will not be enough for us and for you, go rather to the dealers and buy for yourselves. Matthew 25:7-9

Greetings in the name of Jesus!

As we approach the end of another Church Year the readings from our lectionary take a more urgent, time sensitive tone. In Jesus’ parable, the five foolish virgins find themselves shut out behind a closed door, pleading, “Lord, Lord, open to us!” They were too late. In Matthew 7:21 Jesus says “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” And then in John 6:40 He says, “This is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son – with awakened eyes – and believes in him – with a faith that is alight – should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”

Come hear more this Sunday at Resurrection. Our day will start at 10am with Bible study, Sunday school and Confirmation class, followed by the Divine Service at 11am. This Sunday is also Remembrance Sunday, and we will observe a two-minute silence before the Service begins. Please find the bulletin attached with all the Service details and more information.

I look forward to seeing you.
