Proclamation! For the fourth Sunday after Pentecost, Sunday 16 June 2024Walking by FaithToday Reverend Shelley McVea ponders what it means to walk ‘by faith and not by sight’.  Does it mean that we accept beliefs without truly thinking about what we believe and that we may not have a handle on what’s really going on in the world.  But Shelley doesn’t think that is the case.  Many of us experience the harsh realities of this life:  even so, we can navigate our journey through the real world using our faith in Jesus to guide us with compassion and mercy.   ***Like us on Facebook:   www.facebook.com/churchwithreddoor/If you would like to speak with Reverend Shelley to have a conversation about life or faith, personal concerns or in the case of a pastoral emergency, please call the church office and a time can be arranged. 416-699-6512 Tell your friends about Proclamation!  Email: stsaviours@rogers.com www.stsaviours.ca    

Proclamation! For the second Sunday in Ordinary Time, Sunday 9 June 2024Familes and Forgiveness Today Reverend Shelley McVea reminds us that we all come from families, some better, some worse, and even Jesus had a family.  We know of his birth to Joseph and Mary, and of Jesus’ presentation to the synagogue in his youth, but most of what we know about Jesus comes from the time when he was not with his family.  Most of what we know about Jesus comes from the time when he travelled with his apostles and preached a revolutionary message for the forgiveness of sins. ***Like us on Facebook:   www.facebook.com/churchwithreddoor/If you would like to speak with Reverend Shelley to have a conversation about life or faith, personal concerns or in the case of a pastoral emergency, please call the church office and a time can be arranged. 416-699-6512 Tell your friends about Proclamation!  Email: stsaviours@rogers.com www.stsaviours.ca    

Proclamation! For the first Sunday in Ordinary Time, Sunday 2 June 2024The Lord Seaches and Will Find UsToday Reverend Shelley McVea reflects on Psalm 139:  a prayer to God that expresses the awesomeness of God.   As we seek for God, God also searches for us, knows who we are, and will find us, no matter where we are.  ***Like us on Facebook:   www.facebook.com/churchwithreddoor/ If you would like to speak with Reverend Shelley to have a conversation about life or faith, personal concerns or in the case of a pastoral emergency, please call the church office and a time can be arranged. 416-699-6512 Tell your friends about Proclamation!  Email: stsaviours@rogers.com www.stsaviours.ca    

Proclamation! For Trinity Sunday, 26 May 2024Reverend Shelley McVea explores the mystery of the Trinity: there is one God, but that God exists three dimensions: Heavenly God, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  The Trinity is mirrored in our human experience of relationships: our connection to God, our connections to others, and to ourselves.  ***Like us on Facebook:   www.facebook.com/churchwithreddoor/ If you would like to speak with Reverend Shelley to have a conversation about life or faith, personal concerns or in the case of a pastoral emergency, please call the church office and a time can be arranged. 416-699-6512 Tell your friends about Proclamation!  Email: stsaviours@rogers.com www.stsaviours.ca    

Proclamation! For Pentecost Sunday, 19 May 2024The Intense Fire of the Holy SpiritGuest preacher James Beck joins us today for a sermon that brings insight to the extraordinary events of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit inflamed the Apostles and enabled them to speak so that listeners of all different languages could comprehend them.   In effect, the Holy Spirit broke down the barrier that had been erected with the tower of Babel, which symbolized the ways that we no longer understand or empathize with each other.  ***Like us on Facebook:   www.facebook.com/churchwithreddoor/If you would like to speak with Reverend Shelley to have a conversation about life or faith, personal concerns or in the case of a pastoral emergency, please call the church office and a time can be arranged. 416-699-6512 Tell your friends about Proclamation!  Email: stsaviours@rogers.comwww.stsaviours.ca    

Proclamation! For the Seventh Sunday of Easter, Ascension Sunday, 12 May, 2024Reverend Shelley McVea describes how forty days are the ideal number of days for creating change in our lives.  Perhaps we choose to cease doing something negative, or we choose to improve a skill, perhaps practicing piano a few minutes every day.  Today we celebrate Ascension Sunday and mark the transformation of the apostles over the forty days that have passed since the crucifixion of Christ.  In that time they mourned, but they also were able to deepen their faith and adopt a practice of joyfulness.   ***Like us on Facebook:   www.facebook.com/churchwithreddoor/ If you would like to speak with Reverend Shelley to have a conversation about life or faith, personal concerns or in the case of a pastoral emergency, please call the church office and a time can be arranged. 416-699-6512 Tell your friends about Proclamation!  Email: stsaviours@rogers.com www.stsaviours.ca
