 Second Sunday after Trinity, June 18th, 2023

In his First Epistle, St. John writes:  "MARVEL not, my brethren, if the world hate you"  (I St. John 3:13)    If you ever need proof that there is hatred in the world, just take a look at the comments section on any news story located anywhere on the internet.   And God forbid that you have a different opinion than anyone else  . . . on anything!  You will be condemned . . . ridiculed . . . threatened, cursed and sworn at . . . you name it, it will all be done to you simply because you have a differing point of view.  Yes, there is much hatred in the world.  But God sent His only Son into the world to show the love of God.   God sent His only Son into the world to give us an example to follow.  God sent His only Son into the world to save us from our sins.  He did this because He loved us that much.  He is our loving Father.  And He shared His love with us in the form of His Son.   As Christians we are called to share the love that we receive from Our Heavenly Father with those around us.  This is not always easy, is it?  It is difficult to show love to someone who shows us hatred.  It is difficult to show love to someone who has done us wrong.  It is difficult to show love to someone who does not care about us.  And yet we know this is exactly what Our Blessed Saviour did from the Cross when He said "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do."  Yes, the world will hate you but it also hated Our Blessed Saviour.  Focus on the love of God in your life.  And do your best to share this love with the world.

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.
