Good Morning and welcome to St. Joseph’s. Today’s worship will be led by Robert Millar.

As we enter into our time of worship let us open our hearts and minds in the worship of our Lord and listen expectantly for Him to speak to us.

May today you know the wonderful blessing of being loved and cared for by One who will never forsake you.

Please stay after the service for a time of refreshment and fellowship. May you have a truly blessed week ahead.

Intercessions and Prayers

Prayer for our Church Family
Lord, we are called to be thankful. Yet, there are times when we aren’t sure how. We can feel a bit guilty of having so much when others haven’t. There can be occasions when we feel You have forgotten us. Sometimes, we take what we have for granted. Help us to learn true thankfulness so that we are able to bring glory to You and to others. We ask this in the Name of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Food Box for HOPE
After many years of taking care of the food box and transporting donated food to HOPE, Doreen and Allan Schofield are “retiring”. If anyone is interested in taking on this task, please speak to the Pastor.

A passing thought…
When I think of each person I know, there is not one who has escaped difficulties in life. It can be so easy to devalue those we think of as never having suffered. But we don’t always know what another has gone or is going through. Even when we are aware, we do not know the hidden things.
