Shalom Anglican

 Friends of Shalom, I pray you are well this third week of Epiphany! Our gospel text this week is one of my favorite's. 14   Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God,  15   and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.” Mark 1:14-15 I always get the feeling like, "It's on now!" All the prophecies from the Old Testament are fulfilled in Christ and now it's time for the gospel of the Kingdom! I'm excited to preach on this passage and our other texts this Saturday night.  As a new Anglican, one of the things I've processed quite a bit is how different the experience of worship is in a liturgical church compared to my background in the non-denominational world. This is also something folks bring up who are new to Shalom. So I decided to do a video about it. I also put together a Weekly Word video on praying the Psalms. May it be an encouragement to you! Please

 Friends of Shalom, As always, thank you for your prayers and support. Last week we had 5 new adult visitors along with 4 kids! We're thankful to God for connecting us with some new folks! This is the second week of Epiphany and for the weekly word I get into the story of Samuel and his initial call into ministry by the Lord.  Check it out. For the Shalom of Kitsap, Rob and Beth

 Friends of Shalom, I hope you had a great Christmas! We enjoyed a rich time with all our kids and were grateful for the break. Unfortunately, I tested positive for COVID for the second half of the break, but I'm on the mend. This Saturday January 6th Epiphany begins. If you'd like to learn more about this season in the church calendar here's a great article to check out.

For me as I work on my ordination requirements for the priesthood! Here's the weekly word! Thanks again! -Rob and Beth
