Hi Everyone,
Welcome to the season of
Lent!
It seems like it was
Christmas only
yesterday...
Time may have flown by
quickly for some, but
for others, it is
agonizingly slow in this
pandemic!
On this First Sunday in
Lent, I invite you to
reflect on these trying
times and our coping
mechanism.
Have you heard of the
Stockdale Paradox?
It may have something
important to say to us
about our survival in
this Covid crisis.
For more of my
reflection on "Trials
& Temptation", you
are invited to
take a
listen here →
or
read
the homily here →
For those who wish to
join in worship via Zoom
together at 10:00 am
this Sunday (live),
please refer to the
instruction on the
second page of the Order
of Service.
Do join the meeting
earlier to visit with
one another - the Zoom
meeting will already be
open from 9:40 am.
If you cannot join us on
Sunday morning, please
follow the Home Worship
materials at your
convenience. Make sure
you click on the links
for the hymns to listen
& sing along!
We are grateful for
technology, allowing us
to remain connected to
each other
and united in one
Spirit, despite our
physical separation.
God's Blessings and
Peace be with you!
Fr. Victor

Dear Friends in Christ,
One of my practices
during Lent, as I’m sure
is the same for many of
you, is to have a good
Lenten book to read –
something spiritually
nourishing, that gives
me new ideas to consider
and fresh insights to
reflect upon. This year
I am hoping to read
“The
Patient Ferment of the
Early Church” by
Alan Kreider. If you are
looking for another good
suggestion ...
