THE FIRST READING: READER:
A Reading from the Word of God written in Exodus Chapter 1 beginning at the 8th verse.
Now a new king arose over Egypt, who did not know Joseph. He said to his people, "Look, the Israelite people are more numerous and more powerful than we. Come, let us deal shrewdly with them, or they will increase and, in the event of war, join our enemies and fight against us and escape from the land.” Therefore they set taskmasters over them to oppress them with forced labor. They built supply cities, Pithom and Rameses, for Pharaoh. But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and spread, so that the Egyptians came to dread the Israelites. The Egyptians became ruthless in imposing tasks on the Israelites, and made their lives bitter with hard service in mortar and brick and in every kind of field labor. They were ruthless in all the tasks that they imposed on them. The king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, one of whom was named Shiphrah and the other Puah, "When you act as midwives to the Hebrew women, and see them on the birthstool, if it is a boy, kill him; but if it is a girl, she shall live.” But the midwives feared God; they did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but they let the boys live. So the king of Egypt summoned the midwives and said to them, "Why have you done this, and allowed the boys to live?” The midwives said to Pharaoh, "Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women; for they are vigorous and give birth before the midwife comes to them.” So God dealt well with the midwives; and the people multiplied and became very strong. And because the midwives !3
feared God, he gave them families. Then Pharaoh commanded all his people, "Every boy that is born to the Hebrews you shall throw into the Nile, but you shall let every girl live.� Now a man from the house of Levi went and married a Levite woman. The woman conceived and bore a son; and when she saw that he was a fine baby, she hid him three months. When she could hide him no longer she got a papyrus basket for him, and plastered it with bitumen and pitch; she put the child in it and placed it among the reeds on the bank of the river. His sister stood at a distance, to see what would happen to him. The daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river, while her attendants walked beside the river. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her maid to bring it. When she opened it, she saw the child. He was crying, and she took pity on him, "This must be one of the Hebrews' children," she said. Then his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, "Shall I go and get you a nurse from the Hebrew women to nurse the child for you?� Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Yes." So the girl went and called the child's mother. Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Take this child and nurse it for me, and I will give you your wages." So the woman took the child and nursed it. When the child grew up, she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and she took him as her son. She named him Moses, "because," she said, "I drew him out of the water." Reader: ALL: Psalm 124

THE EPISTLE READER: A Reading from the Word of God written in Romans Chapter 12 beginning at the 1st verse. I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God-what is good and acceptable and perfect. For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of yourself more highly than you ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. For as in one body we have many members, and not all the members !4
have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually we are members one of another. We have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us: prophecy, in proportion to faith; ministry, in ministering; the teacher, in teaching; the exhorter, in exhortation; the giver, in generosity; the leader, in diligence; the compassionate, in cheerfulness. Reader: ALL:
Here ends the Reading Thanks be to God
THE HOLY GOSPEL The Lord be with you. And also with you. A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew Glory to Christ our Saviour. Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” And they said, "Some say John the Baptist, but others Elijah, and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” And Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father in heaven. And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” Then he sternly ordered the disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah. The Gospel of Christ Praise to Christ our Lord !5
From The Rector’s Notebook Greetings: There are certain times in the liturgical year when the congregation is asked to walk that extra mile. One such time is Holy Week the other is Dedication Festival Week. The St. David’s Festival of Dedication starts today. It is an opportunity for us to grow deeper in our relationship with God. In fact it only makes sense if we determine together that we will all participate. While it is wonderful to offer one hour or one hour and a half to God almighty each week as part of our weekly holy obligation to our Lord; our festival offers us the opportunity for an intensive week to render thanks for our place of worship. Our festival comes at a time when many in society are crying out for more prayer. We can never have too much prayer. The societal challenge being posed by those in the cluster of violence is essentially the reason for this call for greater asceticism. While national days of prayer have their place in the cultural and spiritual life of a country as we bring persons from various traditions together, it must be noted that the Anglican spiritual tradition speaks of the practice of daily Morning and Evening Prayer with attendant bible readings. The Church is at prayer whenever we come together for worship and this is an excellent witness and evangelism in our community. During our Festival of Dedication we come together in fellowship as we normally worship at separate !6
set times. The common times of services this week provide us with the opportunity to meet and greet those whom we may not come into contact because of the scheduling of Sunday Morning Mass. Professor Maxwell Johnson tells us that fellowship in prayer leads people to look at the church and Christianity in a new way. This speaks to the unity of the congregation, for we are all part of the same communion. It is perhaps easy to just remain at home and let others do it; but remember that church is made brighter by our respective lights. Our Saviour has said let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16 May each member of our congregation this week experience the deeper presence of God and may He strengthen us for mission and ministry in our homes and districts as we manifest His love for all of us. Let us use for prayer the words of hymn 395 Hymns A&M O Word of God above Who fillest all in all. Hallow this house with Thy sure love, And bless our Festival Your friend and priest, Noel A. Burke, MA (The Rev’d Canon) Rector !7

HEALTH CORNER: BY SOPHIA MARSHALL, Ph.d Over the years, Barbados has been dubbed the 'Amputation Capital of the World'. Approximately 300 diabetes-related amputations are performed annually in Barbados. Therefore ranking the island with one of the highest rates of amputations of the world. According to the International Diabetes Federation, there were 30,500 cases of diabetes in Barbados in 2014. It was estimated that another 8, 500 people have the disease but were undiagnosed. Many complications can develop as diabetes progresses; one of which is peripheral neuropathy which impairs the diabetic's ability to feel pressure or temperature in their feet. Unfortunately this increases the chance of developing sores on the feet. Furthermore poor circulation can decrease the healing process of such sores, with amputations being the end result, particularly if treatment is delayed. Proper foot care is critical for diabetics. Here are a few tips to help you: Wash feet daily with warm water Check feet daily for sores, blisters, redness, or calluses If skin is dry, use lotions (not between toes) Smooth calluses and corns gently with a pumice stone Cut toenails about once per week Wear shoes and socks-- be sure footwear fits properly Protect feet from hot and cold Keep blood flowing to feet: put them up when sitting Sources: 1. www.idf.org 2.
