!THE COLLECT
Grant us, Lord, not to be anxious about earthly things, but to love things heavenly; and even now, while we are placed among things that are passing away, to hold fast to those that shall endure; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen
!THE FIRST READING: !READER: A Reading from the Word of God written in the Book of Jonah Chapter 3 beginning at the 10 verse ! th
When God saw what they did, how they turned from their evil way, God repented of the evil which he had said he would do to them; and he did not do it. But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry. And he prayed to the LORD and said, "I pray thee, LORD, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that thou art a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love, and repentest of evil. Therefore now, O LORD, take my life from me, I beseech thee, for it is better for me to die than to live." And the LORD said, "Do you do well to be angry?" Then Jonah went out of the city and sat to the east of the city, and made a booth for himself there. He sat under it in the shade, till he should see what would become of the city. And the LORD God appointed a plant, and made it come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to save him from his discomfort. So Jonah was exceedingly glad because of the plant. But when dawn came up the next day, God appointed a worm which attacked the plant, so that it withered. When the sun rose, God appointed a sultry east wind, and the !3
sun beat upon the head of Jonah so that he was faint; and he asked that he might die, and said, "It is better for me to die than to live." But God said to Jonah, "Do you do well to be angry for the plant?" And he said, "I do well to be angry, angry enough to die." And the LORD said, "You pity the plant, for which you did not labor, nor did you make it grow, which came into being in a night, and perished in a night. And should not I pity Nin'eveh, that great city, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand persons who do not know their right hand from their left, and also much cattle?"

PSALM 145: 1-8 Exaltabo te, Deus
1.I will exalt you, 0 God my King, * and bless your name 
 forever and ever. 2.Every day will I bless you* and praise your name for ever and ever. 3.Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised; * there is no end to his greatness. 4.One generation shall praise your works to another * and 
 shall declare your power. 5.I will ponder the glorious splendor of your majesty* and all your marvellous works. 6.They shall speak of the might of your wondrous acts, * and I will tell of your greatness. They shall publish the remembrance of your great goodness;* they shall sing of your righteous deeds. 7.The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger and of great kindness.
!Glory to the Father, and to the Son;*and to the Holy Spirit; !As it was in the beginning is now:*and shall be forever.
Amen

THE EPISTLE A Reading from the Word of God written in the Letter to the Philippians Chapter 1 beginning at the 21st verse
!To me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. If it is to be life in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better. But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account. Convinced of this, I know that I shall remain and continue with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith, so that in me you may have ample cause to glory in Christ Jesus, because of my coming to you again. Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you stand firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel,

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew Glory to Christ our Saviour. At that time Jesus said: "The kingdom of heaven is like a householder who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. After agreeing with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. And going out about the third hour he saw others standing idle in the market place; and to them he said, `You go into the vineyard too, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went. Going out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour, he did the same. And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing; and he said to them, `Why do you stand here idle all day?' They said to him, `Because no one has hired us.' He said to them, `You go into the vineyard too.' And when evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, `Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last, up to the first.' And when those hired about the eleventh hour came, each of them received a denarius. Now when the first came, they thought they would receive more; but each of them also received a !5
denarius. And on receiving it they grumbled at the householder, saying, `These last worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.' But he replied to one of them, `Friend, I am doing you no wrong; did you not agree with me for a denarius? Take what belongs to you, and go; I choose to give to this last as I give to you. Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or do you begrudge my generosity?' So the last will be first, and the first last." The Gospel of Christ. Praise to Christ our Lord.

! FROM THE RECTOR’S NOTEBOOK !
Greetings: The past week has certainly been hectic with its usual round of parochial duties, responding to queries, hospital visitations, diocesan meetings, and ensuring that I download the newest operating system (IOS 8) to my mobile devices.
!
According to Stuart Fox in an article entitled “Technology changing the way we practice religion”, the modern advances in communications technology have almost instigated rapid and profound changes in religious practice.
!
!6
Both in our Diocese and across the world bishops, priests, monks, nuns and millions of lay persons recite the daily office from their iPads, iPhones and other mobile devices.
!
Fox states Already, hundreds of iPhone apps allow persons to bring Bible quotes, Torah-chanting practice and Buddhist prayer wheels wherever they go, allowing them to practice their religions in new times and spaces.
!
Here in our parish some persons already receive the weekend bulletin on their mobile devices and can be seen at times participating in the sacred liturgy with these devices in hand.
!
Our parish bulletin is posted every Saturday to the parish’s Facebook and Twitter pages.
!
Quite recently we were informed that the hymns in the CPWI hymnal have been uploaded to the Diocesan Intranet. The Synod Council has of course agreed that when hymns are used, the name of the author should also be included.
!
A forward looking church will see the Book of Common Prayer and CPWI hymnal being available in electronic format for purchase to mobile devices from the iTunes store, Amazon or google play.
!
There is the strong body of opinion that the Internet and mobile technology can be used to the advantage of the church in getting the message of Jesus Christ across to as large a cross section of the population as possible.
!
This ancient Christian religion has sen many changes in the world of science and technology over the past two thousand years. According to Alvin Toffler the most rapid of those changes have occurred over the past twentyfive to thirty years. !7
We pray God’s grace upon us that the advances of our skills may ever be in service of that new humanity that is created in the image of Christ. Your friend and priest,

Have you ever been to a buffet and seen persons with mountains of food on their plates? Are you guilty of that ‘all you can eat at once’ mentality? If so, let’s consider serving size versus portion size. A "portion" is the amount of a food that you choose to eat at any one time. A serving size is a standardized way of measuring food based on nutritional need. A portion size can be less or more than a serving size. It is important that we consume the total servings per day that is recommended. Below is a table to help you become familiar with serving sizes:
