 St Alban’s Episcopal Church Bolivar, Missouri Saturday, February 5 Parking lot is dry – we WILL be at church tomorrow   Psalm 138 I will give thanks to you, O Lord, with my whole heart; before the gods I will sing your praise. I will bow down towards your holy templeand praise your Name, because of your love and faithfulness; For you have glorified your Nameand your word above all things. When I called, you answered me; you increased my strength within me. All the kings of the earth will praise you, O Lord,when they have heard the words of your mouth. They will sing of the ways of the Lord, that great is the glory of the Lord. Though the Lord be high, he cares for the lowly; he perceives the haughty from afar. Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you keep me safe; you stretch forth your hand against the fury of my enemies; your right hand shall save me. The Lord will make good his purposes for me; O Lord, your love endures for ever; do not abandon the works of your hands.  1 Corinthians 15:1-11 Now I would remind you, brothers and sisters, of the good news that I proclaimed to you, which you in turn received, in which you also stand, through which you are being saved, if you hold firmly to the message that I proclaimed to you – -unless you have come to believe in vain. For I handed on to you as of first importance what I in turn had received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with, the scriptures, and that he was buried, and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas (Peter), then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers and sisters at one time, most of whom are still alive, although some have died. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. For I am the least of the apostles, unfit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me has not been in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them – though it was not I – but the grace of God that is with me. Whether then it was I or they, so we proclaim and so you have come to believe.  |
