AOC Sunday Report – Third Sunday in Lent

Happy Third Sunday in Lent!

The AOC Sunday Report can be downloaded RIGHT HERE!

We have excellent sermons today from Bishop Roy, as well as Revs Jack and Bryan. Each is different and great! Rev Jack brings the Propers together today. His sermon can be viewed on video here -> https://youtu.be/TuOZZZN-Yvs

Today’s Collect asks God to look into our hearts and see what we really want, then to protect us from the snares of this world. In his letter to the people of Ephesis and us, Paul points out that if we are truly believers in Christ, we must as a matter of choice keep His commandments. Not that we keep them to be believers, but that if we really believe, we have no choice but to follow His precepts. In the Gospel Luke relates a story of Jesus casting out a devil from a dumb person and being attacked by the local estabilshment. His very pointed response bears thinking about. Luke also relates Jesus’ talling about relapsed Christians. There is much more to this story than meets the eye. Great stuff and it all comes together, listen or read to understand how.

There are always a lot of people who desire your prayer, today is no exception. Please start with the Flanagan family, Shamu, Tricia and Laurie and work out from there.

Jennifer, wife of Bishop Jose Rios, the AOC Bishop in Columbia has been very active in children's welfare. Her monthly report can be downloaded RIGHT HERE. I beg you to read the report, for our Marines it is mostly pictures. You know we never ask for money, we try to fund everything ourselves. This is an exception. If you have any spare funds, you can send them to the Worldwide HQ and they will be sent to Jennifer. No overhead, just good work.

Anything will help.

There is an amazing week ahead, you may need help to see it clearly, I know I do. Well, there is that Third God Guy, The Holy Ghost, standing by and ready to assist.

Have a wonderful week.

Godspeed,

Who, What, When and Why?

Why? Prayer is an extremely important activity.

It is not that God knows not our needs, for He surely does. Yet, Jesus commanded us to ask God for those same needs. In addition to the obvious of asking God for help, offering thanksgiving and the like, prayer helps us focus our thoughts on how we might do God's work.

The Prayer Team of the Church of the Faithful Centurion was established to help our members and fellow Christians pray for those in need and to give thanks as well for the blessings we have been granted.

Who can be on the list? Do I have to be a member of the Church of the Faithful Centurion to be prayed for?

No! The only qualification to be on the list is that you want our prayer team to pray for you. We are Christians and are happy to pray for you, no matter who you are. If you want help from God, you are our kind of people.

What is the commitment from the prayer team?

Each member of the team will pray for the desired outcome at last once per day.

How do I get myself or someone else on the prayer list?

You can email one of the prayer team leaders: Rev Jack - jack@faithfulcenturion.org or Dru - dru@faithfulcenturion.org, or call the church office at (619) 659-3608 or fill out a prayer card at church.

What should I ask for?

Depends on what you want. Some people merely want God to be asked to heal their ills and be mentioned by their first name, others want a specific outcome and / or have more of their personal information known to the team. Ask for what you want. It is your desire and need for prayer the team is attempting to meet. For typical examples, see the list below.

Updating the Team

If you are on our prayer list, or if you have submitted a person that you have asked us to pray for, please update one of the team members or Hap in person, by telephone or email. It helps to be able to pray specifically for these individuals including their specific needs; plus if they get better, it is nice to give thanks!

Please note that on the yellow (maybe green or orange if you got an old one) cards at church, you can ask that those to be prayed for have their names disseminated to the "prayer team". Those names will be said in church and appear here. Or, you can ask that their names and purpose be kept confidential, then only Hap will know to pray for them.
