THE 4TH SUNDAY OF EASTER
YEAR C!
APRIL 21, 2013
I am convinced that the work of the church is not limited to what is done by clergy; but that rather, all the baptised are called to priestly ministry and service. The manifestation of church at the parish level will be strong and vibrant when we all exercise an apostolate. It will be necessary to meet in order to discuss and examine what we have been doing, and determine the way we perceive God almighty to be directing us, in order to move forward with a collective vision and with greater sense of purpose. Such an approach not only makes good practical common sense; but also follows the example firstly of Jesus and secondly of first Apostles who from time to time would come together to make major decisions. Let me express thanks to the organising committee of this year’s conference: Mrs. Muriel Niles (Co-Ordinator) and Members- Mr. William Jones, Ms. Dionne Welch, Mr. Bradston Clarke, Mr. Cecil Collymore, Mr. Anthony Kirton and Mrs. Cynthia Reid. May God in Christ continue to bless us as we listen to the voice of the Good Shepherd and follow where he leads. Your friend and priest, Noel A. Burke, MA (The Rev’d Canon) Rector !
