Preparing for Sunday, Feb. 19th | Mission: Impossible to Fail

“The impossible could not have happened, therefore the impossible must be possible in spite of appearances.”

– Agatha Christie, Murder on the Orient Express

 

This Sunday we are in Acts 11, concerning the Church in Antioch and the leadership of Barnabas. We invite you to look over this excerpt from our bulletin in preparations for this Sunday.

Sermon Text: Acts 12:1-24

Second Scripture reading: Matthew 10:24-33

A Prayer for Today: “O Lord God, who helps us to not put our trust in anything that we do, but in you alone: Mercifully grant that by your power we may be defended against all adversity; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. (The Second Sunday Before Lent – BCP 1662)

Music: “Praise to the Lord, the Almighty”

 

Reflect:

– George Bernard Shaw, Major Barbara

I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had no where else to go. My own wisdom and that of all about me seemed insufficient for that day.

– Abraham Lincoln, 16th President of the United States
