THE FIRST READING: READER:
A Reading from the Word of God written in the book of the Prophet Jeremiah Chapter 8 beginning at the 18th verse.
My joy is gone, grief is upon me, my heart is sick. Hark, the cry of my poor people from far and wide in the land: "Is the LORD not in Zion? Is her King not in her?" ("Why have they provoked me to anger with their images, with their foreign idols?�) "The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.� For the hurt of my poor people I am hurt, I mourn, and dismay has taken hold of me. Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then has the health of my poor people not been restored? O that my head were a spring of water, and my eyes a fountain of tears, so that I might weep day and night for the slain of my poor people! Reader: ALL:
Here ends the Reading Thanks be to God.
Psalm 79: 1-9 Deus, venerunt

THE EPISTLE READER:
A Reading from the Word of God written in the1st letter of Paul to Timothy Chapter 2 beginning at the 1st verse. !3
First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for everyone, for kings and all who are in high positions, so that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and dignity. This is right and is acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour, who desires everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God; there is also one mediator between God and humankind, Christ Jesus, himself human, who gave himself a ransom for all--this was attested at the right time. For this I was appointed a herald and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. 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. At that time, Jesus said to the disciples, "There was a rich man who had a manager, and charges were brought to him that this man was squandering his property. So he summoned him and said to him, 'What is this that I hear about you? Give me an accounting of your management, because you cannot be my manager any longer.’ Then the manager said to himself, 'What will I do, now that my master is taking the position away from me? I am not strong enough to dig, and I am ashamed to beg. I have decided what to do so that, when I am dismissed as manager, people may welcome me into their homes.’ So, summoning his master's debtors one by one, he asked the !4
first, 'How much do you owe my master?’ He answered, 'A hundred jugs of olive oil.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, sit down quickly, and make it fifty.’ Then he asked another, 'And how much do you owe?' He replied, 'A hundred containers of wheat.' He said to him, 'Take your bill and make it eighty.’ And his master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly; for the children of this age are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than are the children of light. And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of dishonest wealth so that when it is gone, they may welcome you into the eternal homes. "Whoever is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much; and whoever is dishonest in a very little is dishonest also in much. If then you have not been faithful with the dishonest wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? And if you have not been faithful with what belongs to another, who will give you what is your own? No slave can serve two masters; for a slave will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.” The Gospel of Christ Praise to Christ our Lord.

From the Rector’s Notebook Greetings: "What is happening to our young people? They disrespect their elders, they disobey their parents. They ignore the law. They riot in the streets inflamed with wild notions. Their morals are decaying. What is to become of them?” If we were to be asked the source of the above quote we would be sure to think that it comes from a social commentator on our contemporary society. Interestingly enough the quote is attributed to Plato (born 428/427 bce, Athens, Greece—died 348/347, Athens), or his teacher Socrates (born c. 470 bce, Athens [Greece]—died 399 bce, Athens) though there is no conclusive evidence that the latter actually said it What this quote perhaps suggests is that from earliest times there have been concerns about young people. Our own time is no exception. We all become quite alarmed at the negative behaviour of some of our young people; we do acknowledge though that even if it was only one that it would be one too many. The majority of our young people seek education, honest industry and are filled with pride as citizens of this land. One only needs to look into our secondary and post secondary institutions in order to catch a glimpse of so many of our youth who are seeking higher learning in order that they may provide for themselves and their future. !6
Those who have the care of children, must be aware of those with whom their youthful ones are associating, so that we assist them in avoiding those who will lead them down a path of deviant behaviour.. Some families seem to be in need of help. The family according to Sociologists is the principal cell of society. The family must be taught to provide the safety net to shield our young people from self destructive acts. We must laud principals of schools, their deputies and teachers who often use their own resources not only to ensure that some child has lunch, even at tertiary level; but who do so in order that some of these same children may be able to write examinations and be provided with the tools necessary to be successful. We must advocate for the students who strain every nerve and, operate at the top of their ability and obtain thirty or forty percent. Many persons who now hold responsible positions were in that category; but by care and the grace of God they were able to reap success. We pray for the youth of our country and all who counsel them that that in the mist of their search for identity they may come to know the person and work of Christ and seek to follow him all the days of their lives . Your friend and priest, Noel A. Burke, MA (The Rev’d Canon) Rector !7

Health Corner:
Dr Sophia Marshall
Of course by now all the members of this church are involved in some form of regular exercise! Therefore this is just a reminder of the phases of an exercise session. Each phase is important and should not be neglected! A single exercise session should include the following phases: • Warm-up: A minimum of 5 to 10 minutes of low to moderate intensity cardiovascular and muscular endurance activities • Stretching: At least 10 minutes of stretching exercises performed after warm-up or cool-down phase • Conditioning or sports-related exercise: 20 to 60 minutes of aerobic, resistance and/or sport activities • Cool-down: At least 5 to 10 minutes of low to moderate intensity cardiovascular and muscular endurance activities Why is warm –up important? It allows the body to prepare for the demands of the conditioning or sports phase of the exercise program. It is designed to increase body temperature and reduce the potential for afterexercise muscle soreness. Why is cool-down important? This phase allows for the gradual recovery of heart rate, blood pressure and removal of metabolic end products from the muscles used during the more intense conditioning phase.
