Our Vision: A world where people experience God s love and are made whole. Our Mission: To share love of Jesus through compassion, inclusivity, creativity and learning. Choral Evensong Thursday, October 20, 2016
Evensong Thursday in Twenty-Third Week after Pentecost 20 October 2016 5:15 pm Welcome to Grace Cadral. Choral Evensong marks end of working day and prepares for approaching night. The roots of this service come out of ancient monastic traditions of Christian prayer. In this form, it was created by Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury in 16 th century, as part of simplification of services in newly-reformed Church of England. The Episcopal Church, as part of worldwide Anglican Communion, has inherited this pattern of evening prayer. In this service we are invited to reflect on business of past day, to pray for world and for ourselves, and to commend all into God s hands as words of Holy Scripture are said and sung. The beauty of music is offered to help us set our lives in light of eternity; same light which dwelt among us in Jesus, and which now illuminates us by Spirit. May this service be a blessing to you.

The Readings Hosea 14:1 7 Return, O Israel, to Lord your God, for you have stumbled because of your iniquity. Take words you and return to Lord; say to him, Take away all guilt; accept that which is good, and we will offer fruit of our lips. Assyria shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses; we will say no more, Our God, to work of our hands. In you orphan finds mercy. I will heal ir disloyalty; I will love m freely, for my anger has turned from m. I will be like dew to Israel; he shall blossom like lily, he shall strike root like forests of Lebanon. His shoots shall spread out; his beauty shall be like olive tree, and his fragrance like that of Lebanon. They shall again live beneath my shadow, y shall flourish as a garden; y shall blossom like vine, ir fragrance shall be like wine of Lebanon. 2 Timothy 4:1-8 In presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge living and dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I solemnly urge you: proclaim message; be persistent wher time is favourable or unfavourable; convince, rebuke, and encourage, utmost patience in teaching. For time is coming when people will not put up sound doctrine, but having itching ears, y will accumulate for mselves teachers to suit ir own desires, and will turn away from listening to truth and wander away to myths. As for you, always be sober, endure suffering, do work of an evangelist, carry out your ministry fully. As for me, I am already being poured out as a libation, and time of my departure has come. I have fought good fight, I have finished race, I have kept faith. From now on re is reserved for me crown of righteousness, which Lord, righteous judge, will give to me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have longed for his appearing.
