WEEK OF PRAYER
FOR CHRISTIAN
UNITY 2015
January 18th – 25th, 2015
Theme:
Jesus said to
her:
"Give me to
drink"
(John 4:7)
WATCHING FOR THE MESSIAH
Today's Gospel story of John and his disciples seeing and following Jesus sounds
so simple and casual, it's
easy to miss the significant acts of faith that are made.
John points to Jesus: "Look," he says, "there is the Lamb of God." John's faith in
Jesus is evident, so evident that John's disciples immediately leave his side to
follow this Jesus.
The two disciples make their own act of faith. They follow Jesus, spend time with
him, and are quick to spread the good news of their discovery: "We have found
the Messiah."
It is easy to forget that the expectations of generations, the hopes of many ages of
faithful people were being fulfilled in these simple acts of faith. The Lamb of
God, the Messiah, foretold by the prophets, had finally come. Nearly everyone
among the Jewish people was watching for the Messiah back then; who in our
own society watches for signs of the presence of the Messiah today?

SEEDS FOR FOOD
This is a social justice program of Holy Spirit which
doesn’t cost much to make a difference to people living in
developing countries. It was created by Professor
Willem van Cotthem, a botanist at the University of Ghent,
Belgium, in 2007. People collect fruit and vegetable seeds
that would normally be thrown away and send them to
designated locations around the world. Holy Spirit sends
seeds to Lilongwe, Malawi, Africa.

Seed Preparation
Rinse seeds with cool water and separate any pulp
from the seeds.
Allow the seeds to dry on a plate (not on paper as
paper sticks to the seeds)
When dry, place seeds in an envelope (do not mix
varieties).
Label envelope with the appropriate name.
Seal envelope.
Purchased packets of seeds are acceptable.
Place seed envelopes in the box in the church vestibule.

DONATE A FLAG
There is a beautiful flag pole located outside the
parish hall. We would like to keep the American
Flag flying from it as much as possible. This is not
always practical because of continuous damage from
the wind blowing in from the ocean. Many of our
parishioners have American Flags at home not being
used. Would you like to donate the flag to the
parish? Please be aware of the proportion of your
donated flag to the parish pole. You may bring your
flag to the parish office. May God Bless the USA!
