The Blessing of the School Bags Reader: We have come to church today with our school bags to ask our loving

God to bless them. Our school bags are important to us. Every day we carry our

lunches and books from home to school and back again.

Reader: We also use our school bags to carry things to other activities. We use

them to carry our sports equipment, music and books, as well as clothes and things

for going to our friends’ houses.

Reader: When we ask God to bless our school bags, we are really asking God to

bless us and the many things we do. We know from the Bible that we are special to

God.

Priest: As a Church we want all our young people to know how important they are

and how much God loves them. I would invite everyone to stand. As members of

Christ Church (Parish Church), will you do all that you can to support and encourage

the young people of our parish?

Congregation: We will.

Priest: There is a saying that it takes a village to raise a child. Each of us has a part

- whether big or small - in raising the children of this parish. Will you help to teach

and guide them in the faith and be examples to them so that they can be salt of the

earth and light to the world?

Congregation: We will.

Priest: As they face new challenges, experiences and opportunities, do you give your

love, encouragement and blessing to these children and to all their teachers, parents

and guardians?

Congregation: We do.

(The congregation may be seated as the children and school bags are blessed.)

UPDATE ON ELEVATOR We have just received the disappointing news that the hydraulic cylinder for our elevator has been held up at the manufacturing plant.

Our apologies to all who are in need of this access – we know there are many who depend on it.

FOOD PANTRY Thank you for the continued kind offerings of food. Your generosity has helped over 45 people last month.

SYMPATHY Our sympathy is extended to Lorne House and his family on the death of Patricia (Trish) Peters of Edmonton, Alberta.

Collect

God of unity and truth, encourage the fervent, enlighten the doubtful and bring back the wayward. Gather us all

Epistle

Romans 13: 8-14

Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing

debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. The commandments, “You shall not

commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not

steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one

command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of

the law. And do this, understanding the present time: The hour

has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day is

almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us behave

decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. Rather, clothe yourselves

with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to

gratify the desires of the flesh.

Gospel

Matthew 18:15-20

“If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you,

you have won them over.But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be

established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the

church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector. “Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth

will be loosed in heaven.

“Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in

my name, there am I with them.”
