12th Sunday in Ordinary Time, June 23, 2024

Job 38Thus far shall you come but no farther, and here shall your proud waves be stilled!

2 Corinthians 5:  So whoever is in Christ is a new creation: the old things have passed away; behold, new things have come.

Mark 4:They were filled with great awe and said to one another,  “Who then is this whom even wind and sea obey?”

Rosemary's Blessing:

Breathe of Summer

 

Creator God
who breathed this world into being,
who is discernible within
the harmony of nature,
the perfection of a butterfly's wing,
the grandeur of a mountain range,
the soaring eagle and humming bird,
thank you for this world
which you have created.
Thank you for summer sun,
which reminds us
that your creative breath
is still alive and active.
Thank you for the warmth of your love,
sustaining this world,

Your garden

    Rosemary's Blessing:  

    Glance at the sun. See the moon and the stars.
    Gaze at the beauty of earth’s greenings.
    Now, think.
    What delight God gives to humankind
    with all these things. . . .
    All nature is at the disposal of humankind.
    We are to work with it.
    For without we cannot survive.

  • Link Announcement for Trinity Sunday, June 7, 2020

    Here are the links for Sunday:

    For Zoom   ( the video conference, same as last week )
     
     
     
     
     
    For Youtube    
     
    Okay, the old way to access our weekly you tube broadcast,
    which is on a different link every week, has been to publish the link in the blog,
    and this week ( June 7 ) it will be
     
    The new way to find the you tube broadcast will be as follows :
    1. in your browser, go to   youtube.com
    2. search for "john stack ministries"
    That's it !   You will see a list of stack's broadcasts,
    including the one(s) scheduled in the future.
    Just click on the one you want.
     
    Both methods work now.   A couple weeks ago I changed the broadcast attributes from Private to Public.
    To see a private broadcast you had to know the link, but you can find a public broadcast just by searching for it.  You can even Subscribe to Stack's channel.
     
    If anybody thinks this is not a good idea, please let us know.
