Please join us for Refreshments & Fellowship at the rear of the nave READINGS THIS WEEK COLLECT Almighty God, whose Son fasted forty days in the wilderness, and was tempted as we are but did not sin, give us grace to discipline ourselves in submission to your Spirit, that as you know our weakness, so we may know your power to save; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. PRAYER OVER THE GIFTS God our refuge and our strength, receive all we offer you this day, and through the death and resurrection of your Son transform us to his likeness. We ask this in his name. PRAYER AFTER COMMUNION Faithful God, in this holy bread you increase our faith and hope and love. Lead us in the path of Christ who is your Word of life. We ask this in his name. A READING FROM THE BOOK OF GENESIS God said to Noah and to his sons with him, "As for me, I am establishing my covenant with you and your descendants after you, and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the domestic animals, and every animal of the earth with you, as many as came out of the ark. I establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of a flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth." God said, "This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all FEBRUARY 22, 2015 6
future generations: I have set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth." God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth." GENESIS 9:8-17 A READING FROM THE FIRST LETTER OF PETER Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, in order to bring you to God. He was put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit, in which also he went and made a proclamation to the spirits in prison, who in former times did not obey, when God waited patiently in the days of Noah, during the building of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were saved through water. And baptism, which this prefigured, now saves you -not as a removal of dirt from the body, but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers made subject to him. 1 PETER 3:18-22 THE HOLY GOSPEL OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST ACCORDING TO MARK In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John FEBRUARY 22, 2015 7
in the Jordan. And just as he was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens torn apart and the Spirit descending like a dove on him. And a voice came from heaven, "You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased." And the Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness. He was in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels waited on him. Now after John was arrested, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God, and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news." MARK 1:9-15 Psalm 25:1-9 Lutheran Chant No. 1 To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul; my God, I put my / trust in you;* let me not be humiliated, nor let my enemies triumph / over me. Let none who look to you be / put to shame;* let the treacherous be disappointed / in their schemes. Show me your / ways, O Lord,* and teach / me your paths. FEBRUARY 22, 2015 8
Lead me in your / truth and teach me,* For you are the God of my salvation; In you have I trusted all / the day long. Remember, O Lord, your compas-/sion and love,* for they are from / everlasting. Remember not the sins of my youth and / my transgressions;* remember me according to your love for the sake of your good-/ness, O Lord. Gracious and upright / is the Lord;* therefore he teaches sinners / in his way. He guides the humble in / doing right* and teaches his way / to the lowly. All the paths of the Lord are / love and faithfulness* to those who keep his covenant and his / testimonies. FEBRUARY 22, 2015 9

African Heritage Month in Nova Scotia Our Past is the long road of Mathieu De Costa, Rose Fortune and Marie Rose. It s enslavement, segregation, racism, injustice, racial profiling, police mistrust, and prisons. Our past is Black Loyalists, Maroons, War of 1812 Black Refugees, farm workers, house cleaners, and coal miners. It is Africville, the race riots in Birchtown, Viola Desmond, Kirk Johnson, and the formation of the Black Learners Advisory Committee (The B.L.A.C. Report). Our past is the Black United Front, Kwacha House, Black Educators Association, African United Baptist Association, UNIA, and all those who struggled for equality. Our Future is filled with progress, African Nova Scotian professionals, doctors, lawyers, teachers, scientists, researchers, entrepreneurs, and business owners. We have not overcome all the struggles of our past, but our roots help guide the steps in our journey and give us purpose. Our future is growth, innovation, and leadership. Our roots help establish a strong base for our youth as they strive forward to achieve success. Our future is perseverance; our future is defined by us. Outreach to Infants One of our outreach projects is the Mother and Child support Programme at Phoenix House. Infant related items, baby food, formula, wipes, diapers etc. are always in need. Please consider bringing an item to the Nursery on Sundays in support of this program. Thank you! FEBRUARY 22, 2015 19
