THE FIRST READING: READER:

A Reading from the Word of God written in Exodus Chapter 3 beginning at the 1st verse.

Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian; he led his flock beyond the wilderness, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. There the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of a bush; he looked, and the bush was blazing, yet it was not consumed. Then Moses said, "I must turn aside and look at this great sight, and see why the bush is not burned up.” When the LORD saw that he had turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, "Moses, Moses!" And he said, "Here I am.” Then he said, "Come no closer! Remove the sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.” He said further, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God. Then the LORD said, "I have observed the misery of my people who are in Egypt; I have heard their cry on account of their taskmasters. Indeed, I know their sufferings, and I have come down to deliver them from the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey, to the country of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. The cry of the Israelites has now come to me; I have also seen how the Egyptians oppress them. So come, I will send you to Pharaoh to bring my people, the Israelites, out of Egypt.”

But Moses said to God, "Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?” He said, "I will be with !3

you; and this shall be the sign for you that it is I who sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall worship God on this mountain.” But Moses said to God, "If I come to the Israelites and say to them, 'The God of your ancestors has sent me to you,' and they ask me, 'What is his name?' what shall I say to them?” God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM." He said further, "Thus you shall say to the Israelites, 'I AM has sent me to you.’" God also said to Moses, "Thus you shall say to the Israelites, 'The LORD, the God of your ancestors, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you': This is my name forever, and this my title for all generations.

THE EPISTLE READER: A Reading from the Word of God written in Romans Chapter 12 beginning at the 9th verse.

Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; Love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honor. Do not lag in zeal, be ardent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints; extend hospitality to strangers. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly; do not claim to be wiser than you are.

Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all. If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave room for the wrath of God; for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” No, "if your enemies are hungry, feed them; if they are thirsty, give them something to drink; for by doing this you will heap burning coals on their heads.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

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.

At that time, Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and undergo great suffering at the hands of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, "God forbid it, Lord! This must never happen to you.� But he turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; for you are setting your mind not on divine things but on human things.� Then Jesus told his disciples, "If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it. For what will it profit them if they gain the whole world but forfeit their life? Or what will they give in return for their life? "For the Son of Man is to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay everyone for what has been done. Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom."

The Gospel of Christ Praise to Christ our Lord

From The Rector’s Notebook Greetings: Today is the final day of the our Festival of Dedication.

week of services for

It was indeed an exciting week as we listened to the various preachers and participated in the respective liturgy on each occasion. What was interesting is that while there was no specific theme each of the preachers used the respective scriptures to speak of the Christian engagement in society This evening our Festival Season draws to a close with special focus being placed on the ministry of Altar Servers and Choristers at 6:00pm.

The main theme coming out of the sermons this week was that the society continues more that ever to require our prayers and actual involvement especially geared towards that section of our young population who seem to follow only bad behaviour.

It certainly cannot be comforting for deviant young people or their parents to know that the police is conducting a manhunt for these said young people.

It is clear that inevitably perpetrators of crime and violence will be apprehended. These persons accused of atrocious offenses and their parents must know that there is nothing about this to which they should be smiling; but rather to be contemplating the seriousness of their actions.

However we must be reminded, less we become self righteous, that violence is not only in action, but also in words. !6

Professor Eudine Barriteau, Pro Vice Chancellor and Principal, University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus, as reported recently in the press, has expressed concern about the absence of respect for individuals, institutions and processes regarding industrial relations matters in Barbados.

Some people seem to believe that because they may hold different outlooks philosophically and otherwise that it implies that debate should be acrimonious.

What we do not realize is that we do violence to each other and to the local context with harsh words, and that we will make progress only by respectfully acknowledging each other as fellow travelers on the same path.

Regarding our society Professor Barriteau states “I want to remind the unions, Government, civil society and all employers that the real enemy we face in the country today is lack of economic and social progress. This is also accompanied by unacceptable levels of inefficiency that occur in every sector of society, including the University of the West Indies. We all have to accept as our responsibility eliminating these inefficiencies,�

This particular outlook eliminates finger pointing and the realization that we are all stakeholders no matter what the issues are.

We as members of the Christian Church must bear all of these things in our hearts, and in every societal engagement in which we are involved seek !7

to bring the mind of Christ, in order that we may work towards that common brotherhood.

Your friend and priest, Noel A. Burke, MA (The Rev’d Canon) Rector

HEALTH CORNER:

BY SOPHIA MARSHALL, Ph.d This week, we will take a break from nutrition and address the issue of household chemicals. The use of chemicals has become such a part of our daily household chores that sometimes we become complacent to the danger they can pose to our health.

The next few weeks we will concentrate on household chemicals, their safe use and disposal.

One of the most widely used cleaners is chlorine bleach; here are a few things that you should know: DO NOT MIX BLEACH AND AMMONIA PRODUCTS The active ingredient in chlorine bleach is Sodium hypochlorite. When mixed with ammonia products (e.g. toilet and window cleaners), toxic gases called chloramines are produced.

Exposure to these gases can cause: coughing, shortness of breath, chest pain, wheezing and irritation to the throat, nose and eyes.

DO NOT MIX BLEACH AND ACIDS When chlorine bleach is mixed with an acid, chlorine gas is given off. This gas irritates the eyes, throat and nose, even at low levels.

Chlorine gas causes coughing, breathing problems and at higher levels can cause chest pain, vomiting and fluid in the lungs. Death can result from exposure to chlorine gas at very high levels. It was used as a chemical weapon in World War I. Never mix chlorine bleach with any other household or cleaning products.

Hydrogen Peroxide is a safe alternative to chlorine bleach in the laundry and as a household disinfectant.
