e are followers of a Way...

• instituted by our Lord Jesus Christ
• recorded in Holy Scripture
• expressed in the Creeds and Councils of the undivided Church
• celebrated in the Sacraments
• preserved by the teaching of bishops in Apostolic Succession
• observed in the forms of the Anglican tradition

We walk this Way to grow in knowledge and love of our Lord, to strengthen the Light and resist the Darkness within and without, and to strive to live each day within the Word and still within the world. We believe that traditional worship is still valuable and relevant to contemporary society.

If you are seeking a church home or just passing through, please feel welcome.

Come unto me, all ye that travail and are heavy laden, and I will refresh you. (Matthew 11:28)

But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. (Isaiah 40:31)

So God loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, to the end that all that believe in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)

We are in need of an organist to play at our services, typically up to 2 hrs for the Sunday service (hymns from the Hymnal 1940 plus service music). We have a new Rodgers Inspire Classic 227 organ and would love someone looking to build their experience to exercise it. Compensation negotiable. Please see our posting at the LA American Guild of Organists website or reach out to Robert Jones (mcgyvr -at- live.com). Thank you!

23 March 2006 - Lenten Tuesday

The Lenten Tuesday session will begin at 7 pm with the service of Evening Prayer followed by a meatless pot-luck supper. The discussion topic for the evening will be the fifth Sorrowful Mystery, the Crucifixion and Death of Jesus.

Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother:” Woman, behold thy son!” Then saith he to the disciple: “Behold thy mother!” And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home. – John 19:25-27

23 March 2006 - Lenten Tuesday

The Lenten Tuesday session will be hosted by Gretchen Martin, beginning at 7 pm with the service of Evening Prayer followed by a meatless pot-luck supper. The discussion topic for the evening will be the first Sorrowful Mystery, the Agony of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane.

Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy. Then saith he unto them: “My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me”. And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying: “O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt”. – Matthew 26,36-39

1 March 2006 - Lenten Observances

We pray that all of us will experience a holy Lenten season, using this penitential season to grow spiritually.

During this season, the Litany will be said or sung at the beginning of each Mass observance. Also, there will be a Lenten study series held each Tuesday, consisting of Evening Prayer, a meatless pot-luck supper, and discussion of the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary. If you are interested or would like to volunteer your home to host one of the sessions, please speak with Fr. Rasch.

The sacrament of Penance will be offered at 10 am on Saturday, March 25.

Almighty and everlasting God, who hatest nothing that thou hast made, and dost forgive the sins of all those who are penitent; Create and make in us new and contrite hearts, that we, worthily lamenting our sins and acknowledging our wretchedness, may obtain of thee, the God of all mercy, perfect remission and forgiveness. Amen

Almighty God, who hast given us this good land for our heritage; We humbly beseech thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of thy favour and glad to do thy will. Bless our land with honourable industry, sound learning, and pure manners. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion; from pride and arrogancy, and from every evil way. Defend our liberties, and fashion into one united people the multitudes brought hither out of many kindreds and tongues. Endue with the spirit of wisdom those to whom in thy Name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that, through obedience to thy law, we may show forth thy praise among the nations of the earth. In the time of prosperity, fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in thee to fail; all which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

from The Book of Common Prayer
