Messiah has been seeking God and serving this neighborhood of Toronto for more than 125 years. We are fresh, informal, and highly engaged. Messiah is the kind of place where the weekly Bible readings are followed by discussion time during services – but that doesn’t stop us from enjoying beautiful music and the fullness of Anglican-style worship.
A VERY SPECIAL WELCOME TO REV. ELIVERED MULONGO!
As you may know, since Rev. Tay Moss left our Church in 2022 to administer CHURCHx, we have been without a permanent priest. We had Rev Bob Bettson as interim for most of that time, supported by Canon Donald Butler and Canon John Hill. The Bishop recently appointed Rev Molungo to be our rector. She comes to us from Kenya, by way of St Chad’s at Dufferin and St Clair. She has been in Canada for many years, is highly educated (PhD from U of T and a translator of the Bible), thoughtful, and kind. I hope she is as excited to be here as we are to have her!
Proper 9
We don’t print the readings in the leaflet to encourage active listening. You can get a head start by reading them here.
This story tells us that Israel’s God is sovereign over Aram and all other lands – not only over Israel. It was usual to bring gifts when approaching a prophet. The word translated leprosy can refer to any of a number of skin diseases.
2 Kings 5:1-14
You restored me to health
Psalm 30
Paul has written that we are called to freedom, but not licentiousness. He has called on the Galatians to live by, and to be guided by, the Spirit. Now he tells us what this means in practice.
Galatians 6:1-16
Jesus has sent out the Twelve on the first missionary journey: one within Israel. Now he sends out others. According to conventional wisdom, there were seventy nations in the world, so Jesus is telling his disciples to reach out to the whole world.
Luke 10:1-11, 16-20
