The Hard Promise that Leads to Second ChancesProclamation! For the Third Sunday in Lent, Sunday, 20 March 2022The season of Lent continues as Reverend Shelley McVea shares with us the hard promise of forgiveness, the transforming path that leads to second chances.  Like the fig tree that seems barren but which will bear fruit, we are like the fruit of the kingdom, challenged to become the repentant people, the forgiven people.  ***  St. Saviour’s Church, 43 Kimberley Avenue, Toronto, M4E 2Z4 416-699-6512  Email: [email protected] www.stsaviours.ca   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. 416-699-6512  Tell your friends - Proclamation!

Proclamation! For the Second Sunday in Lent, Sunday, 13 March 2022 For the second Sunday in Lent, Reverend Shelley McVea shares with us the story of Jesus, the rejected prophet.  When he is told that Herod is looking for Jesus so that he can kill him, Jesus responds, “You tell that fox that nothing is going to keep me from where I want to go.”  Jesus has found the full strength of his mission and will follow through with his destiny, even in the face of peril.  ***  St. Saviour’s Church, 43 Kimberley Avenue, Toronto, M4E 2Z4 416-699-6512  Email: [email protected] www.stsaviours.ca   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. 416-699-6512  Tell your friends - Proclamation!

Proclamation! For the First Sunday in Lent, Sunday, 6 March 2022Reverend Shelley McVea shares a secret: She loves Lent.  Lent is the season of deprivation, as many Christians choose to give up something they love in order to be in solidarity with Jesus who went into the desert and fasted for 40 days.  At the same time, Lent is a time of great promise, the first promise is that of abundance. As in the Old Testament, the Lord rewarded those who wandered in the desert for 40 years with a land of milk and honey.   ***  St. Saviour’s Church, 43 Kimberley Avenue, Toronto, M4E 2Z4 416-699-6512  Email: [email protected] www.stsaviours.ca   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. 416-699-6512  Tell your friends - Proclamation!

Proclamation! For the Seventh Sunday after Epiphany, Sunday, 20 February 2022Reverend Shelley McVea examines Psalm 37 to find insight into what God wants us to do: not to fret, or envy, to trust and do good, to delight in the Lord, to be still and wait patiently, to refrain from anger, and to take refuge while waiting for the Lord.  Psalm 37Do not fret yourself because of evildoers; * do not be jealous of those who do wrong.2 For they shall soon wither like the grass, * and like the green grass fade away.3 Put your trust in the Lord and do good; * dwell in the land and feed on its riches.4 Take delight in the Lord, * and he shall give you your heart's desire.5 Commit your way to the Lord and put your trust in him, * and he will bring it to pass.6 He will make your righteousness as clear as the light * and your just dealing as the noonday.7 Be still before the Lord * and wait patiently for him.8 Do not fret yourself over the one who prospers, * the one who succeeds in evil schemes.9 Refrain from anger, leave rage alone; * do not fret yourself; it leads only to evil.***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 fifth Sunday after Epiphany, Sunday, 6 February 2022Reverend Shelley McVea continues the “aha” season with the story of Jesus approaching Simon Peter who, after a night of fishing, has caught not a single fish.  Astonished by Jesus, Simon Peter cries out, “Go away from me Lord, for I am a sinful man.” But Simon Peter’s sins are not a concern for Jesus.  Simon Peter, as are we all, is called by God to a new life.  ***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!
