T he S eason after P entecost

Twenty-third Sunday after Pentecost November 13 - 19, 2022 • Proper 28 According to God’s holy promise, the saints of Christ will dine at the marriage supper of the Lamb, a feast of love and communion with the risen Lord and Savior himself. The Feast of Christ the King, the last Sunday before Advent, anticipates the day when Christ will reign supreme, and the saints of God will never again leave the presence of their Lord. WEEK 51 When Jesus freed this man of thousands of demons, he told him, “Go home to your friends and tell them how much the Lord has done for you.” The Lord calls us to minister to those in our existing network of connections and relationships. God has called and gifted every disciple of Christ to use their time, treasure, and talent to share the Good News with those within their life circles, their unique family, friends, and associates. If every believer were to pray, communicate, and share the Good News with those in their own circle, we could touch millions more people with the Gospel. THIS WEEK’S THEME Reborn to Serve: A Passion to Multiply Reach Your Oikos , Mark 5.1-20

Invocation: Our Prayer of Acclamation Dear Jesus, help us to spread your fragrance everywhere we go. Flood our souls with your Spirit and life. Penetrate and possess our whole being so utterly that our lives may only be the radiance of yours. Shine through us and be so in us that every soul we come into contact with may feel the presence of your soul. ~ Mother Teresa
