THE FIRST READING: READER:
A Reading from the Word of God written in the first book of Jeremiah Chapter 1 beginning at the 4th verse.
Now the word of the LORD came to me saying, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.” Then I said, "Ah, Lord GOD! Truly I do not know how to speak, for I am only a boy.” But the LORD said to me, "Do not say, 'I am only a boy'; for you shall go to all to whom I send you, and you shall speak whatever I command you, Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you, says the LORD.” Then the LORD put out his hand and touched my mouth; and the LORD said to me, "Now I have put my words in your mouth. See, today I appoint you over nations and over kingdoms, to pluck up and to pull down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.” Reader: ALL: Psalm 71:1-6
Here ends the Reading Thanks be to God. Page 556

THE EPISTLE READER: A Reading from the Word of God written in the letter to the Hebrews Chapter 12 beginning at the18th verse. You have not come to something that can be touched, a blazing fire, and darkness, and gloom, and a tempest, and the sound of a trumpet, and a voice whose words made the hearers beg that not another word be spoken to them. (For they could not endure the order that was given, "If even an animal touches the mountain, it shall be stoned to death.” Indeed, so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, "I tremble with fear.”) But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering, and to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel. See that you do not refuse the one who is speaking; for if they did not escape when they refused the one who warned them on earth, how much less will we escape if we reject the one who warns from heaven! At that time his voice shook the earth; but now he has promised, "Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heaven.” This phrase, "Yet once more," indicates the removal of what is shaken--that is, created things-so that what cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us give thanks, by which we offer to God an acceptable worship with reverence and awe; for indeed our God is a consuming fire. 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 Luke Glory to Christ our Saviour. !4
Now Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath. And just then there appeared a woman with a spirit that had crippled her for eighteen years. She was bent over and was quite unable to stand up straight. When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said, "Woman, you are set free from your ailment.” When he laid his hands on her, immediately she stood up straight and began praising God. But the leader of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had cured on the sabbath, kept saying to the crowd, "There are six days on which work ought to be done; come on those days and be cured, and not on the sabbath day.” But the Lord answered him and said, "You hypocrites! Does not each of you on the sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from the manger, and lead it away to give it water? And ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham whom Satan bound for eighteen long years, be set free from this bondage on the sabbath day?” When he said this, all his opponents were put to shame; and the entire crowd was rejoicing at all the wonderful things that he was doing. The Gospel of Christ Praise to Christ our Lord.

From the Rector’s Notebook Greetings: Most of us would have had our eyes glued to our televisions sets, computers and mobile devices as we watched the 2016 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXXI Olympiad and commonly known as Rio 2016. It has been truly amazing to watch the athletes strain every nerve and muscle to demonstrate strength, speed and skill in order to win the coveted gold medal. Of course in this region we would look out especially, for those athletes who hailed from the Caribbean region, including those from within these shores who did their best for both themselves and the rest of us on the world stage. Congrats to them all. As the games draw to a close this evening we pray that the several athletes, and supporting representatives will reach their several homes safely and without incident. One of the things we would notice about Olympic games is the number of times the Apostle Paul used athletic metaphor to speak of Christian life and witness. Nicholas King SJ, in an article entitled St. Paul and the Olympic Games states that Paul would have known of the Olympic Games, which took place every four years in Greece and indeed the Isthmian Games which took place every other year quite close to Corinth. It was to the Corinthian Church that he writes
!6
‘Do you not know that in a race the runners all compete, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win it. Paul continues in this passage to explain that athletes exercise self-control in order to receive a perishable wreath; but that Christians gain we an imperishable crown. Using a boxing metaphor he says I box as though beating the air; but I punish my body and enslave it, so that after proclaiming to others I myself should not be disqualified.’ 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 Christians are to be serious about their mission, like athletes in the stadium. We are to be aware that God almighty has prepared the gold for us as a free gift. Another favorite is 2 Timothy 4:7 where the blessed Apostle writes “I have fought the good fight, “I have finished the race (marathon), I have kept the faith.” Let each one of us stay the course; even when we stumble; determined to reach the end of the race with faith and courage; knowing that God almighty is always with us. Your friend and priest, Noel A. Burke, MA (The Rev’d Canon) Rector Notices and Announcements WELCOME TO DEAN AND MRS.

HEALTH CORNER BY: DR. SOPHIA MARSHALL
COMMON MISTAKES MADE WITH WEIGHT LOSS Everyone has an opinion on the best method for weight loss, some include exotic bush teas, super shakes and even wonder ‘shots’. Whatever the case, research has shown that weight reduction in a slow and steady fashion is more likely to be successful. American College of Sports Medicine recommends a weight loss of 1-2 lbs a week. Here are some common mistakes made when trying to lose weight: 1. Severe restrictions in caloric intake Some persons so restrict their dietary intake that essentially they put themselves on starvation diets. This does not work and can lead to serious health issues. Such diets cannot be maintained in the long-term and persons tend to regain the weight quickly AIM: Initially make small changes that can be maintained for life. 2. Skipping meals It is often thought that skipping meals will result in weight loss. Research actually shows that persons, who eat less than 3 meals a day, consume more calories than persons who eat 3 meals. Interestingly as well, is the research which shows that generally persons who eat breakfast weight less than those who do not. AIM: A healthy breakfast of protein and fiber every morning. This will keep you full until lunchtime. Strive for 3 meals each day. 3. Calories from beverages aren’t counted Your favorite smoothies, hazelnut coffee and alcoholic drinks all contribute to your caloric intake. Often persons use these beverages but don’t reduce their solid intake to compensate for the liquid calories. AIM: Substitute high calorie beverages with water or use vegetable juices, 100% fruit juices, and low-calorie drinks in moderation. 4. Too much dressing Did you know that 1 tablespoon of dressing can add 75-100 calories to your meal? Okay, so you decided to have a Caesar salad with shrimp instead of your usual Double Decker but then you ‘bathed’ it with salad dressing! The Quarter pounder may have been about 400 calories but now your salad is now 500 calories! AIM: Less dressing and eventually maybe no dressing.
