Dear Gentle Folks,

As we journey the advent season and things become more hetic, let us hold
these words close to our heart:

"Celebrate God all day, every day. I mean, revel in the Lord! Make it as
clear as you can to all you meet that you're on their side, working with
them and not against them. Help them see that the Savior is about to arrive.
This could happen at any minute!

Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises
shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you
know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good,
will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ
displaces worry at the center of your life."
Philippians 4:4-7 (The Message)

God Bless,
Pastor Paul

Dear Gentle Folks,

Let us carry this powerful words in our heart as we journey this  advent
week:

"You were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not use your
freedom as an opportunity for self-indulgence, but through love become
slaves to one another. For the whole law is summed up in a single
commandment, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."  Galatians 5:13-14

God Bless,
Pastor Paul

Hello friends!!  I just thought I needed to say something here.....  1) Even tho
this group is moderated, not all tht gets posted here is "approved" in the sense
that any or all of the members agree with the CONTENTS of the post  yhat has
been the OK  to  "go thru".  2) No one is required to accept, believe, endorse,
condone, like any belief, statements, etc. that appear in postings to this
Group...  If something gets posted that you don't like,  that you disagree with,
that you find offesive, or find plain weird..there are two choices.  a)
Respectfully reply to the post stating your position or problem with the post. 
b) Delete the post from your e-mail files and move on....sooner or larer a post
will come thru that will be right for YOU.  3) The only thing "we" (I think I
speak for all the moderators) is obvious porn, actually censor are post that
contain foul language, "bashing"/flaming of other faiths/indviduals/races.... 
Now..back to our regular program!!

Dear Gentle Folks,

As we prepare to celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus the Christ let us
keep his words close to our heart as we journey the week:

"But be on your guard. Don't let the sharp edge of your expectation get
dulled by parties and drinking and shopping. Otherwise, that Day is going to
take you by complete surprise, spring on you suddenly like a trap, for it's
going to come on everyone, everywhere, at once. So, whatever you do, don't
go to sleep at the switch. Pray constantly that you will have the strength
and wits to make it through everything that's coming and end up on your feet
before the Son of Humanity."  Luke 21:34-36 (The Message)

God Bless,
Pastor Paul

A Very Happy Thanksgiving to You and Your Loved Ones,
 
Ok, I missed sending out our Canadian Thanksgiving wishes back at the end of
October
(we have it earlier than the Americans since we do our harvest sooner here in
the Great White North, ;-)) 
and I also missed sending out the Remembrance Day greetings last November 11th.
 
So I'm not going to miss this last chance to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving,
;-) 
even though for many, it has been an
Annus Horribilis.
 
Despite all the bad things that have happened this year, I'm hoping that there's
still enough goodness to still be thankful
for at least surviving the year and maybe even the next one to come, ;-)
 
And just so I'm not late the next time, I'm using a Christmas song to remind us
all that our lives are always coloured by
the lens that we wear over our eyes.  ;-)
 
Regards,
Bert

Hello to everyone,
　
　
I will be going through all my past emails and hopefully answer appropriately
all those that needs to be anwered, ;-) ignoring those that needs to be ignored
and having the wisdom to know the difference, ;-)
　
　
But don't count on it. ;-)
　
　
Anyways, I will be sharing more songs, now that I'm listening to the radio once
again. This one was a favourite and all along I thought it was by the Everly
Brothers, ;-) but I guess NOT, ;-)
　
　
Enjoy,

a summer song



A Summer Song - Chad & Jeremy - Lyrics
Trees swayin' in the summer breeze
Showin' off their silver leaves
As we walked by

Soft kisses on a summer's day
Laughing all our cares away
Just you and I

Sweet sleepy warmth of summer nights
Gazing at the distant lights
In the starry sky

They say that all good things must end someday
Autumn leaves must fall
But don't you know that it hurts me so
To say goodbye to you
Wish you didn't have to go
No, no, no, no

And when the rain
Beats against my window pane
I'll think of summer days again
And dream of you

They say that all good things must end someday
Autumn leaves must fall
But don't you know that it hurts me so
To say goodbye to you
Wish you didn't have to go
No, no, no, no

And when the rain
Beats against my window pane
I'll think of summer days again
And dream of you
And dream of you

Dear Gentle Folks,

Let us ponder this question from Jesus as we journey our week:

"Jesus said, "Were not ten healed? Where are the nine? Can none be found to
come back and give glory to God except this outsider?" Then he said to him,
"Get up. On your way. Your faith has healed and saved you."   Luke 17:17-19

Dear Gentle Folks,

Let us carry these words from our Savior close to our heart as we journey
the week:

Jesus began, "Watch out for doomsday deceivers. Many leaders are going to
show up with forged identities claiming, 'I'm the One.' They will deceive a
lot of people. When you hear of wars and rumored wars, keep your head and
don't panic. This is routine history, and no sign of the end. Nation will
fight nation and ruler fight ruler, over and over. Earthquakes will occur in
various places. There will be famines. But these things are nothing compared
to what's coming.   Mark 13:5-8 (The Message)

God Bless,
Pastor Paul

Dear Gentle Folks,

Let us hold this comment of Jesus close to our heart as we journey the week:

Sitting across from the offering box, he was observing how the crowd tossed
money in for the collection. Many of the rich were making large
contributions. One poor widow came up and put in two small coins-a measly
two cents. Jesus called his disciples over and said, "The truth is that this
poor widow gave more to the collection than all the others put together. All
the others gave what they'll never miss; she gave extravagantly what she
couldn't afford-she gave her all." Mark 12:41-44 (The Message)

God Bless,

Chi Rho Press has two calendars to offer for 2010,
a photo wall calendar and our annual Liturgical
Calendar.

We have a limited number of the new Open Door
Metropolitan Community Church Garden Wall
Calendar for 2010.  Twelve beautiful pictures of
Open Door MCC (Boyds, Maryland, USA), it's grounds
and memorial garden are featured in this limited
press run calendar.  The photographs are by Scott
Smiley, grounds keeper for Open Door's 12 acres of
gently rolling land.  Chi Rho Press has arranged
for just a limited number of these special calendars.
Order soon as supplies are limited.  $20.00 each
plus shipping and handling.

View the Calendar and order at this link:
http://www.chirhopress.com/products/ODMCC_Calendar.html

Secondly, the new 2009-2010 Liturgical Calendar is
out!

The new Church Year, Year C, will start with the
first Sunday in Advent, November 29, 2009.  Chi
Rho Press' annual Liturgical Calendar and
Lectionary for 2009-2010 is back from the printer
and ready to ship.  You may view it and order it
at this link:
http://www.chirhopress.com/products/product_details/BookRevLiturgicalCa09_10
.html

The 2009-2010 Liturgical Calendar and Lectionary sells
for $12.95 each, $10.50 each for six or more copies, plus
shipping and handling.

The Lectionary in the Liturgical Calendar is from the
Revised Common Lectionary, widely used as the
ecumenical consensus on readings for each Sunday and
holy day in the three-year cycle of the church year.
Our Liturgical Calendar is packed with useful
information for planning worship and preaching in
the local church.  It is intended for use by pastors,
musicians, altar guilds, teachers, theological students,
and anyone using the Church Year as a basis for worship
or education.  The Liturgical Calendar is spiral bound
so it can lie flat for easy use, in the popular 8 ½" x
11" format.

Featured in this new Liturgical Calendar are these
sections: A Heading that identifies the day in the
church year (for example, the first Sunday of Advent)
with alternative descriptions where appropriate.
The Revised Common Lectionary readings, including
a brief summary of each reading.  (These are intended
as only a very brief overview to identify general
themes as an aid to worship planning.  We do not
represent them as anything approaching a thorough
exegesis.)

The First Reading is usually from the Hebrew Testament,
but there are exceptions, such as the use of readings
from Acts during the Easter season.  These are sometimes
selected thematically to fit the Liturgical Calendar,
but often are simply being read through key passages
over a series of weeks.  This is followed by a Response,
usually a Psalm.  The Epistle Reading is next, like the
Hebrew Testament Reading typically a series of key
passages from the same book being read over a number
of weeks.  Finally the Gospel Reading follows the story
of Jesus through the Christmas and Easter cycles, plus
the teachings of Jesus the rest of the year.

Next is a section called "Worship Planning."  This
includes suggestions for decorations or symbols for
special seasons, such as Advent wreaths; the
liturgical color for the day; etc.

Rev. Witt has added lots of Notes in the Worship
Planning section, which serve to explain in more
detail information about the time of the church
year, provide resources for further study and
information, and develop liturgical themes to make
your worship experience more rich and meaningful.

Then comes a section called "Special Events," which
includes any special events occurring that day or that
week that you may wish to commemorate, such as
national holidays or special holy days in other religions,
and some special occasions for celebrations of
diversity, such as celebration days for specific
cultures (e.g., Cinco de Mayo) and special days for
the GLBT community (e.g., a day of remembrance for
Matthew Shepard).

As a special added section, we have included
alternative readings for the four Sundays of
Pride-Tide (June) prepared by the Rev. Gordon
McCoy.  The four sets of readings for Pride-Tide
may be used at any time in the year that the faith
community celebrates LGBT Pride.  The standard
Revised Common Lectionary readings are included
for the four Sundays in June as well.

In addition, the Rev. Gordon McCoy has given us
a special entry for World AIDS Day, December 1st,
with scripture readings and a history of MCC’s
involvement in creating World AIDS Day.

The 2009-2010 Liturgical Calendar will be a helpful
aid for anyone involved in planning worship, as well
as a useful resource for all who want to know more
about the Church year and the rich liturgical life
of the Church Universal.  We think you will like
this Liturgical Calendar.

Order the 2010 Calendar today at this new link:
http://www.chirhopress.com/products/product_details/BookRevLiturgicalCa09_10
.html

The 2010 Liturgical Calendar and Lectionary sells for
$12.95 each, $10.50 each for six or more copies, plus
shipping and handling.

We hope you will order both calendars soon.

Grace and peace,
Adam

Dear Gentle Folks,

Let us carry these words of Jesus deep in our soul as we journey the week:

"Here is a simple rule of thumb for behavior: Ask yourself what you want
people to do for you; then grab the initiative and do it for them! If you
only love the lovable, do you expect a pat on the back? Run-of-the-mill
sinners do that. If you only help those who help you, do you expect a medal?
Garden-variety sinners do that. If you only give for what you hope to get
out of it, do you think that's charity? The stingiest of pawnbrokers does
that.

  "I tell you, love your enemies. Help and give without expecting a return.
You'll never-I promise-regret it. Live out this God-created identity the way
our Father lives toward us, generously and graciously, even when we're at
our worst. Our Creator is kind; you be kind."  Luke 6:31-36 (The Message)

God Bless,
Pastor Paul

Dear Gentle Folks,

Let us carry these powerful words of wisdom in our heart as we journey the
week:

"I'm speaking to you out of deep gratitude for all that God has given me,
and especially as I have responsibilities in relation to you. Living then,
as every one of you does, in pure grace, it's important that you not
misinterpret yourselves as people who are bringing this goodness to God. No,
God brings it all to you. The only accurate way to understand ourselves is
by what God is and by what God does for us, not by what we are and what we
do for God."
Romans 12:3 (The Message)

God Bless,
Pastor Paul

"Jesus said, "Mark my words, no one who sacrifices house, brothers, sisters,
mother, father, children, land-whatever-because of me and the Message will
lose out. They'll get it all back, but multiplied many times in homes,
brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and land-but also in troubles. And
then the bonus of eternal life! This is once again the Great Reversal: Many
who are first will end up last, and the last first."  Mark 10:17-31 (The
Message)

"Within minutes they were bickering over who of them would end up the
greatest. But Jesus intervened: "Rulers like to throw their weight around
and people in authority like to give themselves fancy titles. It's not going
to be that way with you. Let the senior among you become like the junior;
let the leader act the part of the servant."   Luke 22:13-30 (The Message)

"Real wisdom, God's wisdom, begins with a holy life and is characterized by
getting along with others. It is gentle and reasonable, overflowing with
mercy and blessings, not hot one day and cold the next, not two-faced. You
can develop a healthy, robust community that lives right with God and enjoy
its results only if you do the hard work of getting along with each other,
treating each other with dignity and honor."  James 3:17-18

Dear Gentle Folks,

Please forgive me for the lateness of this e-mail, was out of town this past
week and just got back in the office today...

"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Enter, you who are blessed
by my Creator! Take what's coming to you in this kingdom. It's been ready
for you since the world's foundation. And here's why:

    I was hungry and you fed me,
    I was thirsty and you gave me a drink,
    I was homeless and you gave me a room,
    I was shivering and you gave me clothes,
    I was sick and you stopped to visit,
    I was in prison and you came to me.'

"Then those 'sheep' are going to say, 'Master, what are you talking about?
When did we ever see you hungry and feed you, thirsty and give you a drink?
And when did we ever see you sick or in prison and come to you?' Then the
King will say, 'I'm telling the solemn truth: Whenever you did one of these
things to someone overlooked or ignored, that was me-you did it to me.'

Dear Gentle Folks,

Let us carry these words with us as we journey the week:

"Be prepared. You're up against far more than you can handle on your own.
Take all the help you can get, every weapon God has issued, so that when
it's all over but the shouting you'll still be on your feet. Truth,
righteousness, peace, faith, and salvation are more than words. Learn how to
apply them. You'll need them throughout your life. God's Word is an
indispensable weapon. In the same way, prayer is essential in this ongoing
warfare. Pray hard and long. Pray for your brothers and sisters. Keep your
eyes open. Keep each other's spirits up so that no one falls behind or drops
out."  Ephesians 6:13-18 (The Message)

God Bless,
Pastor Paul

Dear Gentle Folks,

Let us carry these words of St. Paul with us as we journey our week:

"Wake up from your sleep, Climb out of your coffins; Christ will show you
the light! So watch your step. Use your head. Make the most of every chance
you get. These are desperate times!  Don't live carelessly, unthinkingly.
Make sure you understand what the Master wants."
Ephesians 5:16-17 (The Message)

God Bless,
Pastor Paul

Dear Gentle Folks,

Let us carry these powerful words of wisdom at the front of our mind as we
journey the week:

"Make a clean break with all cutting, backbiting, profane talk. Be gentle
with one another, sensitive. Forgive one another as quickly and thoroughly
as God in Christ forgave you."  Ephesians 4:31-32

God Bless,
Pastor Paul

Dear Gentle Folks,

Let us carry these words of Jesus close to our heart as we journey the week:

"He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, "Quiet! Be still!" Then
the wind died down and it was completely calm.  He said to his disciples,
"Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?"   Mark 4:39-40 (New
International Version)

God Bless,
Pastor Paul
