Bishop’s Annual Appeal: “Bring Your Gifts to the Altar” October 27, 2024 – December 31, 2024 Every gift is greatly appreciated! Bishop’s Annual Appeal – We sometimes need to remind ourselves that God has given us all the resources and we are but stewards of what we have been given. The ability of the Church to be fruitful in today’s world is dependent on the willingness of the faithful to nourish the Church with our gifts through such things as the Sunday collection and the Bishop’s Annual Appeal. Please give generously as you are able. Christmas Shoebox – The main reason to pack a shoebox is to ensure that children from the poorest families of the world know that someone cares, which is demonstrated be receiving a shoebox that is filled with toys, school supplies and personal care items. Shoeboxes can be picked up at the back of the church. More boxes have been ordered (also an ordinary shoebox can be used). All shoeboxes must be at the church on or before November 17th.

Scripture Insights – 31st Sunday in Ordinary Time Taken from Source Book for Sundays, Seasons and Weekdays 2024: The Almanac for Pastoral Liturgy, LTP Liturgy Training Publications Copyright 2023, 3949 South Racine Avenue, Chicago, IL 60609, pg. 376. The scribes knew God’s law. They loved God’s law. When a scribe, then, asks Jesus which is the first or greatest of the commandments, he is testing the Lord. Jesus answers the query by naming the two “love commandments”: love God and love your neighbor. The command itself explains how to love God – with all one’s soul, mind, and strength. That is, with your entire being, from head to toe. The scribe agrees; Jesus has identified the heart of the law. While the reading from the Gospel of Mark portrays Jesus as the wisest of scribes, the Book of Hebrews reveals his identity as a high priest. Jesus is like the high priests because he offered a sacrifice that atoned for the sins of the people. But the risen Christ is unlike them because he will never die; his priesthood endures forever. He is also unlike them because the other high priests had to continually offer sacrifices. Christ needed to offer only one sacrifice: himself. As both priest and sacrificial lamb, Christ made one perfect sacrifice on the cross, “once for all.” Despite this, Jesus’ work as priest is not done. Although he no longer offers sacrifices to atone for sin, the author of Hebrews writes that “he lives forever to make intercession” for those who approach God through him. That is his priestly role now: when we come to Jesus, he intercedes with God on our behalf.
