FROM THE RECTOR This
is the first of a series of announcements from the Diocesan Capital Campaign:
At
our diocesan convention in November, Bishop Rob announced that the diocese is
beginning work on a capital campaign to fund congregational, clergy and lay
leadership initiatives. Information about these funds for New Life will be
featured in the Thursday Memo in the months ahead so we can consider how they
could directly impact our church’s ability to attract, keep and nurture quality
clergy and lay leaders to help us flourish.
Consider:
What challenges do you imagine the Bishop faces when wanting to support or
strengthen new or existing ministries?

Introduction
to Diocesan Capital Campaign From an earlier Thursday Memo:
After many years of
consideration, Bishop Rob and leaders of the Diocese have decided to explore
the readiness of Episcopalians in New Hampshire to support a capital campaign
to raise funds for the vitality of the church.
We will be sharing updates with
you so we can all follow the progress with the whole diocese. There is a
dedicated area on the diocesan website devoted to this effort. There is also a
brief survey there to share your thoughts about the proposed projects to help
complete a diocesan vision. Please review the videos on the website from Bishop
Rob and those who have already benefited from the proposed funding areas. https://www.givingsites.com/deeproots
“We fervently believe that the
Church is emerging from a period of pruning and is poised to grow, flower, and
thrive in ways we do not yet completely understand. Please join as we enter a period of discernment for diocesan-wide
initiatives.” -Bishop Rob
Blessings, CarolineING

The
Collect
Give us grace, O Lord, to answer
readily the call of our Savior Jesus Christ and proclaim to all people the Good
News of his salvation, that we and the whole world may perceive the glory of
his marvelous works; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one
God, for ever and ever. Amen.
First Lesson Nehemiah
8:1-3, 5-6, 8-10
Our
first lesson recalls a great day in the history of Israel; in the restored city
of Jerusalem Ezra gathers the people together so that they may hear and
understand the law of Moses. It would
seem that many of the people were unfamiliar with their traditions, and this
reading may have taken place at a time when their laws and stories had been
newly gathered together and edited. We
note the people’s reverence for their scriptures, and the manner in which they
are not only read but also expounded to them, probably in their own language of
Aramaic, since the law was written in Hebrew.
Psalm 19
A hymn which
glorifies the Creator God, with special praise for God’s law and a prayer for
avoidance of sin.
The Second Lesson 1 Corinthians 12:12-31a
In this passage Paul describes
Christians as the body of Christ. Each
individual is a necessary part of the body.
Against any tendencies toward disunity, it must be remembered that all
have been baptized into one body and have drunk of one Spirit. Just as there are different organs and limbs
of the human body, so individuals have different abilities and ministries. But none can be dispensed with. They are all joined together to care for one
another.

Gospel Luke 4:14-21
