Saint Barnabas the Apostle, Sunday, June 11th, 2023

In the Fifteenth Chapter of the Gospel of St. John, we listen to Our Blessed Saviour speak to the disciples.  And one of the many important things which He tells them is:  "Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you" (St. John 15:16)  God has certainly chosen each one of us.  He has chosen you just as He has chosen me.  The question is have we chosen God?  Do we choose God in our daily lives?  Do we make God our choice each and every day?  Or do we choose the world?  Do we choose what the world has to offer?  Part of the problem today is that unfortunately people choose the world over God and may not even realize it.  We keep so busy in our modern society with work and careers, family life, taking care of our homes, watching television and movies, looking at social media and the internet, etc, etc. etc.  The list goes on and on and before you know it God is completely out of the picture.  The world keeps folks so busy that they soon don't have time for God.  We need to make time for God and not just on Sundays either.  We need to make time for God seven days out of the week and three-hundred and sixty-five days a year.  We need to make a point to "choose" God by choosing to spend time with Him in prayer.  We need to make a point to "choose" God by spending time reading the Bible.  We need to make a point to "choose" God by purposely choosing to do as He would.  We need to make a point to "choose" God by choosing to love those we come in contact with on a daily basis.  "Choose" to be the face of God in this weary world.  "Choose" to be God's instrument when His work needs to be done.  God has indeed chosen us but have we chosen Him?

St. Margaret Church worships every Sunday morning at 10:30 AM at the Chapel at Marquette Manor, which is located at 8140 N. Township Line Road on the Northwest side of Indianapolis.

NOTE:  Keep in mind that we must enter in the main entrance of the lobby and sign in before we go to the chapel.  

Please Join us as we gather together as God's family to:  hear the Word of God; listen as God speaks to each one of us in our hearts; worship God in song and in word; listen to the King James Bible and the 1928 Book of Common Prayer; and, finally, receive Our Blessed Lord in Holy Communion so that we can be nourished for the journey we call life.  Take one hour out of your busy schedule to worship God, to honour God, to acknowledge the need for God in your life.
