Sixth Sunday after Pentecost July 1, 2018 Canada Day 10:00 a.m. WELCOME TO THE FIRST GATHERING TABLE For thousands of years, First Nations people have walked on this land; their relationship with the land is at the centre of life and spirituality. We are gathered as treaty people on the traditional territory of the Anishnaabeg of the Fort William First Nation and acknowledge this people s stewardship of this land through the ages. Our Saviour Jesus Christ has abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. 2 Timothy 1.10 Opening Hymn CP 349 All People That On Earth Do Dwell Gathering of the Community O Canada CP 659 Verses 1 Time with the Younger People Praise: Kyrie Eleison Have Mercy What Wondrous Love Is This Collect Of The Day The Proclamation of the Word THIS IS THE WORD OF THE LORD Thanks be to God

For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. The Breaking of the Bread page Receiving Holy Communion This is the table of Christ made ready for those who love him and for those who want to love him more. So come, whether you have much faith or little, have tried to follow or afraid you have failed. Come because it is Christ s will that those who want to meet him, might meet him here. If you prefer to receive a blessing, please indicate this by placing your arms across your chest. If you desire prayer, please go to the pews beside the organ where prayer team members will pray for you. We ask that you not dip the bread into the chalice. If you are not comfortable with the common cup, please receive only the bread. Our tradition says that to receive any part of the Eucharist is to receive the full grace of the Sacrament.

7 Supporting Gathering Table Food Cupboard Mission: Gathering Table s Food Cupboard is mandated to provide two days food supplies to its clients. With assistance from RFDA, Lutheran churches, and our parish s support this goal can be met. You can support the Cupboard in the following ways. EOP or cash donations allow bulk buying of needed goods/produce when on sale. Donate items commonly needed: Canned vegetables (peas, green/yellow beans, cream or kernel corn, and carrots) Soup (mushroom, vegetable, chicken noodle, and tomato) Canned meat (Holiday, Klilk, flakes of ham, chicken, turkey, tuna, and salmon) Mac and Cheese KD Canned meals (Pork & Beans, Stews, and Chef Boyardee) Dry goods donated can be placed in baskets at church. Gathering Table Parking Lot The parking lot beside Gathering Table is a handy stopping place if you are going downtown through the week. There are yearly parking passes available at the church office for $10 that allow you to park there anytime. This money is used to do plowing and maintenance on the lot. There are also monthly passes available for people working downtown which also helps defray costs. Sunday parking is obviously free and encouraged, but if you d like to use the lot through the week please pick up a handy pass. You would also be very welcome to make a donation to the parking fund even if you don t come downtown very often. Every pass helps pay to maintain our parking lot. Thanks Brenda O Living the Mission Bishop s Ride A message from Bishop Anne Germond Dear Algoma friends, Last week we celebrated National Indigenous Peoples Day and I was pleased to hear about several initiatives across the Diocese where people gathered for prayer and to foster good relationships with our indigenous brothers and sisters. I would like to tell you about an important mission that is taking place right now in the Anglican Church of Canada in the hopes that you might be able to support its cause - Unity, Healing and Reconciliation. Some of us are already partners in this mission. It s called Living the Mission and is the initiative of Bishop Rob Hardwick of the

8 Diocese of Qu Appelle in Saskatchewan. Bishop Rob is riding a bicycle across Canada this summer. He s travelling west to east across the Trans-Canada Highway through 21 Anglican dioceses, a distance of 7877 kms. Bishop Rob is travelling with his wife Lorraine (she is driving the support vehicle) and they are stopping along the way to gather with supporters for prayers, services, fellowship and food. As he rides, Bishop Rob is praying for unity, healing and reconciliation across our land and in the Anglican Communion. He is also raising money for the Anglican Healing Fund and hopes to raise a million dollars. The Diocese of Algoma has made a generous donation and it is my hope that congregations, ACW groups and others in Algoma will Live the Mission with Bishop Rob and make a contribution too. During the week of June 21 st to June 27 th, Algoma hosted Bishop Rob and Lorraine in Thunder Bay, Nipigon, Wawa and Sault Ste. Marie. Folks gathered to pray with them and to hear about their trip so far. They were moved by the warmth of our people- thank you for meeting them and for providing opportunities for Bishop Rob to share stories of his ride. Unfortunately, on Friday June 22 nd, Lorraine was involved in a serious accident just outside Wawa and the van and trailer were badly damaged. We give thanks to God that she did not sustain any serious injuries. They initially thought that they would return home to Regina but they received so much encouragement from family and friends they d only just met that they decided to continue the pilgrimage with a rental vehicle. Such is the desire to Live the Mission! On Saturday 23 rd of June, just 24 hours after the accident, Bishop Rob joined six Algoma cyclists on a bike ride from St. Luke s Cathedral to the Garden River Community Centre for a meal, prayers, time of stories and worship. We exchanged gifts and spoke about healing, unity and the desire to be a people reconciled to God and to one another. In Christ we are one. On Sunday morning Bishop Rob was warmly welcomed at St. Luke s Cathedral and preached at both services. Colin and I hosted Bishop Rob and Lorraine at Bishophurst for a few days while they sorted out the practicalities of the next stage of their journey. I give thanks for the generosity of our parishioners in Wawa, the Synod office staff and Dean Jim who went above and beyond to assist in this time of need. Please join with me in praying for Bishop Rob and Lorraine as they continue their pilgrimage. You can follow him on Facebook Living the Mission- Bishop s Ride or on the Diocese of Qu Appelle website. Want to contribute to the Anglican Healing Fund for reconciliation and healing?
