Proclamation! For the twenty-second Sunday after Pentecost, Sunday, 24 October 2021 Interim Priest David Bryant considers the story of Bartimaeus, who calls out for healing: “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me...let me see again.” Seeing his sincerity, Jesus said to him, “Go, your faith has made you well.” Immediately Bartimaeus regained his sight. What does this story tell us about our spiritual ability to see? Can we call out to Jesus and pray for the miracle of insight? **St. Saviour’s Church, 43 Kimberley Avenue, Toronto, M4E 2Z4416-699-6512 Email: [email protected] Like us on Facebook:   www.facebook.com/churchwithreddoor/If you would like to speak with Reverend Shelley to have a conversation about life or faith, personal concerns or in the case of a pastoral emergency, please call the church office and a time can be arranged. 416-699-6512Tell your friends - Proclamation!

Proclamation! For the twenty-first Sunday after Pentecost, Sunday, 17 October 2021 Interim Priest David Bryant investigates the question that James and John ask Jesus.  They are walking on the road to Jerusalem and James and John ask if they could sit beside Jesus in the kingdom of heaven.  Their lives were very different after choosing to follow Jesus, and their lives weren’t easy.  They encountered a love that was not about prestige but about suffering.   **St. Saviour’s Church, 43 Kimberley Avenue, Toronto, M4E 2Z4416-699-6512 Email: [email protected] Like us on Facebook:   www.facebook.com/churchwithreddoor/If you would like to speak with Reverend Shelley to have a conversation about life or faith, personal concerns or in the case of a pastoral emergency, please call the church office and a time can be arranged. 416-699-6512Tell your friends - Proclamation!

Proclamation! For the twentieth Sunday after Pentecost, Sunday, 10 October 2021 Service for Canadian Thanksgiving Sunday Interim Priest David Bryant preaches on one of the most beautiful passages in the gospel of Matthew: “Look at the birds of the air, they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns…” The implied love of God’s creation is a fitting theme for Thanksgiving Sunday.  Buried inside this lovely poem is another message: Do not worry.  How do we accomplish that in our stressful lives?  **St. Saviour’s Church, 43 Kimberley Avenue, Toronto, M4E 2Z4416-699-6512 Email: [email protected] Like us on Facebook:   www.facebook.com/churchwithreddoor/If you would like to speak with Reverend Shelley to have a conversation about life or faith, personal concerns or in the case of a pastoral emergency, please call the church office and a time can be arranged. 416-699-6512Tell your friends - Proclamation!

Proclamation! For the eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost, Sunday, 26 September 2021 Interim priest David Bryant considers the difficult choices we make as followers of Jesus.  How hard is it for us to “get out of the way of God’s Kingdom” and be God’s “zest” in the world?  Even the smallest gift can bring a parish to life, as we examine our lives in the context of community and listen to the call to discipleship. **St. Saviour’s Church, 43 Kimberley Avenue, Toronto, M4E 2Z4416-699-6512 Email: [email protected] Like us on Facebook:   www.facebook.com/churchwithreddoor/If you would like to speak with Reverend Shelley to have a conversation about life or faith, personal concerns or in the case of a pastoral emergency, please call the church office and a time can be arranged. 416-699-6512Tell your friends - Proclamation!

Proclamation! For the seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost, Sunday, 19 September 2021 Interim priest David Bryant considers the answers that Jesus gives to the angels when they ask, what is your plan? My followers are my plan.  And do you have a back up plan? No, there is no other plan than to rely on a rag tag crew of followers with all of their weaknesses to bring light into the world. **St. Saviour’s Church, 43 Kimberley Avenue, Toronto, M4E 2Z4416-699-6512 Email: [email protected] Like us on Facebook:   www.facebook.com/churchwithreddoor/If you would like to speak with Reverend Shelley to have a conversation about life or faith, personal concerns or in the case of a pastoral emergency, please call the church office and a time can be arranged. 416-699-6512Tell your friends - Proclamation!

Proclamation! For the fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost, Sunday, 29 August 2021 In August, while Reverend Shelley McVea enjoys some well-deserved time off, we are featuring a series of guest sermons.  As the summer nears its ending, Rev. Canon David Harrison considers the ways that our minds may well turn to work. One of our readings for this Sunday comes from the Letter of James, in which James calls us to do good works.  Yet Martin Luther dismissed this entire letter as a "letter of straw". As Christians, are we called to faith? Or to good works? Or perhaps both?  St. Saviour’s Church, 43 Kimberley Avenue, Toronto, M4E 2Z4416-699-6512 Email: [email protected] Like us on Facebook:   www.facebook.com/churchwithreddoor/If you would like to speak with Reverend Shelley to have a conversation about life or faith, personal concerns or in the case of a pastoral emergency, please call the church office and a time can be arranged. 416-699-6512Tell your friends - Proclamation!
