In today’s Gospel reading, Jesus heals the servant of a Roman officer.  The leaders of the local synagogue tell Jesus that this foreigner is worthy of this favour since “he loves our people.”  The officer does not consider himself worthy of the healing or the presence of Jesus in his house.  He trusts that what Jesus says, where ever he might be, will be enough.  The faith of a Gentile, an officer of the occupation of Israel amazes Jesus and surpasses all he has encountered.

Welcome!

Everyone is invited to stay for fellowship after the service.

We pray today for all the sick in our congregation, especially Else Kalmbach and her son, Bob McCrae and John Weninger.  May God grant all of them His healing grace in Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Offering Envelopes – If you need more envelopes, there are some in the Fellowship Hall.  Everyone has unnumbered envelopes, so please remember to put your name, date and donation amount on the front of each envelope so you get credit for your donations.

PAR – Pre-Authorized Remittance – Your church needs you!  Signing up for PAR allows you to make donations on a monthly basis even if you’re not in church.  Application forms are available on the table in the Fellowship Hall.  All you have to do is complete the form, attach a VOID cheque and put it in the offering plate or in the church office.

Communion Cards are required to be completed once per year per person.  If you have not completed one yet this year, please ask the usher for one.

Bible Study – Until June 15, St. John’s and Trinity Anglican will be hosting an adult study of “Jesus’ Life and Times.”  This will be an over-view of the society Jesus lived in – Judea, Greece, and Rome.  Our aim is to help people understand the groups mentioned in the Gospels as well as the societal, cultural, and political forces surrounding Jesus’ life and message.  As usual, the meetings begin at noon and you should bring a lunch.  The remainder of the meetings will be held at Trinity Anglican Church.
