Alcoholics Anonymous
10:00am - Saint Thomas Church Parish House
This 12-step group meets weekly.
Laetare means "rejoice," and on this Sunday we take a break from the austerity of Lent and add some color: rose vestments on the clergy and flowers on the altar.
At the morning services today, we have the story of the man born blind, given sight by Jesus.
In a 2002 sermon, the Rector points out two important developments in this story: "First, there is the blind beggar who is given sight, and who then progressively sees ever more clearly in every way that it is possible to see, including insight. Second, there are Jesus’ adversaries, who have physical eyesight but who, in their determined opposition to Jesus, become increasingly blind. The story contrasts the progress of faith with the progress of unbelief."

Collect:
Gracious Father, whose blessed Son Jesus Christ came down from heaven to be the true bread which giveth life to the world: Evermore give us this bread, that he may live in us, and we in him; who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
