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 10
We don’t print the readings in the leaflet to encourage active listening. You can get a head start by reading them here.
During a time of prosperity, the people of Israel have become religiously and socially corrupt. God shows Amos how much they fail to measure up to his ways, as a plumb line shows the crookedness of a wall – and the need to rebuild it completely.
Amos 7:7-17
O God, rule the earth!
Psalm 82
Paul begins his letter to the Christian community at Colossae (in western Asia Minor) with a prayer of thanksgiving and intercession. The Church, both there and throughout the Roman Empire, is growing.
Colossians 1:1-14
Jesus has prepared emissaries for a mission beyond Israel. They have returned and reported their success. Now a lawyer, an expert in interpreting Mosaic Law, challenges Jesus. Who can inherit eternal life?
Luke 10:25-37
ZOOM Sunday School with Brendan will start at about 11:45 and run for 1/2 hour on Sunday
