Dear friends in Christ: You and I have been called to be like Jesus, Who was sent into the world by God our Father to be the very tangible presence of God in the world. The world at the time of Jesus was a violent place full of suffering people who lived under the oppression of the powerful few. Yet, as God, Jesus came into the world in the most humble way and lived a very humble life, a very ordinary life that was not unlike that lived by the overwhelming majority of people in the world. At the same time, Jesus was the all powerful God of the universe. He came into our world, into our lives, to show us how to live and to show us the most amazing mercy, love and grace of the God who so desires to know each of us personally. You and I are called into the very same humble ministry of building relationships, and reconciling persons and the world to our Lord Jesus Christ. You and I, as members of this family we call the Church of the Resurrection, are called into this powerful form of ministry by following the example our Lord has given to us. None of us are exempt from this calling, though our form of ministry may look different and be exercised in various ways. It is important we see the Church as the hub of our very lives, and that each of us are like spokes going out into various cultural contexts of our communities and neighbourhoods. In the weeks and months ahead, as we begin to act on various ways of reaching out into our neighbourhoods, I ask you to remember the ministries of Church of the Resurrection in our daily prayers. Soak the life of our parish in daily prayers, and ask for the profound guidance of the Holy Spirit in the life of our parish. May each of us trust the Lord by stepping out in faith!!! From Fr. Greg
