Audio for Sep 27 Service
Opening:
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
and the love of God,
and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit,
be with you all.
And also with you
Philippians 2:1-13
2:1 If then there is any encouragement in Christ, any consolation from love, any sharing in the Spirit, any compassion and sympathy,
2:2 make my joy complete: be of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.
2:3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility regard others as better than yourselves.
2:4 Let each of you look not to your own interests, but to the interests of others.
2:5 Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus,
2:6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited,
2:7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness. And being found in human form,
2:8 he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death– even death on a cross.
2:9 Therefore God also highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name,
2:10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
2:11 and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
2:12 Therefore, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed me, not only in my presence, but much more now in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;
2:13 for it is God who is at work in you, enabling you both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
Reflection: Christ’s Twin
In her book, Dare to Dream, author Florence Littauer tells about a fascinating study done years ago by the University of Minnesota. Researchers there studied 402 pairs of twins who were separated at birth and reared apart. The research started in 1919 and continued for decades. The results were startling. Twins, reared in quite different circumstances, were still extraordinarily similar in many ways.
The most celebrated example was a set of twins named Jim Lewis and Jim Springer. The two Jims were separated at birth and brought together at age forty. Here is what had happened with them over those four decades.
Both had taken law enforcement training. Both had taken up blueprinting, drafting, and carpentry as hobbies. Lewis had been married three times, Springer twice. Both first wives were named Linda; both second wives, Betty. Each named his first son James Allen. Each had a dog named “Toy.”
Of their first meeting, Lewis said, “It was like looking in a mirror.” These twins were found to have similar IQ’s, personality scores, electroencephalograms, electrocardiograms, fingerprints, and handwriting. As Springer put it, “All the tests we took looked like one person had taken them twice.” (1) To me that is fascinating. Reared apart but still almost identical not only in looks, but in behavior.
==
Today’s lesson from Philippians provokes an interesting question. Paul writes, “If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, then make my joy complete by being like‑minded, having the same love, as Christ . . .”
We are to be “like-minded” with Christ, says Paul. Maybe, at least spiritually, it means we are to be Christ’s twin.
Now imagine that you are a twin of Christ reared 2,000 years apart, but having the same personal attributes. Isn’t that basically what Paul is asking for when he tells us to be “like-minded” with Christ? This is the ideal that we should seek for, according to Paul to be a spiritual twin of Jesus.
So, in practical terms, what does that mean? What kind of mind, or attitude, did Christ have?
PAUL SAYS, FIRST OF ALL, THAT CHRIST HAD AN ATTITUDE OF HUMILITY.
Paul writes, “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves . . .”
So what is being Humble? St. Paul says it, “Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.” In other words when you are humble, your attitude is Win/Win. That is, you not only look out for your interests, but also for the interests of others. You love your neighbor as you love yourself.
–
There was a man who is credited with making Japan a modern industrial nation. His name was W. Edwards Deming. Deming began each speech with the story of the 5‑year‑old girl who, with her mother, had sewn a costume for a Halloween party contest.
“So much fun,” Deming said about the kids at the party. “So curious. So eager to learn. Boys and girls having such a good time . . .” His voice would quiver and trail off. Then he would lean forward and say “Until a prize was offered for the best costume.” By the end, “The children were crushed. Came home crying,” he would end the story every time with: “Why does somebody always have to win?” (5)
Likewise St. Paul writes, “Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.”
Humility is focusing on others and desiring for them the same benefits as you enjoy. Humility is a win/win attitude. To be like-minded with Christ is to have a spirit of humility.
BEING LIKE-MINDED WITH CHRIST IS ALSO TO HAVE A SPIRIT OF SERVICE.
Paul continues, “Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in the very nature of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself the same, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.
In other words, there are times when we need to be MORE concerned about others than we are about ourselves.
A person with a spirit of service is a special person. He, or she, has the mind of Christ. To be like-minded with Christ is to have a spirit of humility. It is to have a spirit of service.
But there’s one thing more. TO BE LIKE-MINDED WITH CHRIST IS TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD. Here is the conviction that allowed Christ to be humble, that allowed him to be a servant to others. He knew that he was God’s child.
Likewise, know this: You are a child of God. You were loved from the foundation of the universe. Your job is to lift others up to the level Christ has brought you.
Lift up your head friend. Let out an exultant roar. Because you are now a child of God. As a child of God, you can afford to be humble. That is, you can enter all relationships on a win/win basis. You can even afford to be a servant. That is, there are times when you will want to be even more generous with others than you are with yourself. Laying down your life for another. All this is possible to you because of who you are becoming. You are becoming Christ’s twin.
Hymn:
Let us break bread together on our knees;
let us break bread together on our knees.
When I fall on my knees
with my face to the rising sun,
O Lord, have mercy on me.
Let us drink wine together on our knees;
let us drink wine together on our knees.
When I fall on my knees
with my face to the rising sun,
O Lord, have mercy on me.
Let us praise God together on our knees;
let us praise God together on our knees.
When I fall on my knees
with my face to the rising sun,
O Lord, have mercy on me.
Our Creed:
All together.
We believe in one God,
the Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven:
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
and was made man.
For our sake he was crucified
under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in accordance with the scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father.
With the Father and the Son
he is worshipped and glorified.
He has spoken through the prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic
and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism
for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen
Our Prayers

from St Patrick’s Breastplate

under the shadow of your mercy
in this time of uncertainty and distress.

As our Savior taught us, let us pray,
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,
for ever and ever. Amen.
Closing:
Glory to God,
whose power, working in us,
can do infinitely more
than we can ask or imagine.
Glory to God from generation to generation,
in the Church and in Christ Jesus,
for ever and ever. Amen.
Our Parting Blessing Song:
May God’s blessing surround you each day
As you trust Him and walk in His way
May His presence within guard and keep you from sin,
Go in peace, go in joy, go in love.

St James Westminster Canada Day Service
Hi Everyone
Our friends at St James sent us this link to their Canada Day Service. Have a listen.
St James Westminster Canada Day Service
James Arthur Maguire (Jim)
June 24, 1929 – May 27, 2020
An engaging storyteller, accomplished gardener and precision woodworker, Jim Maguire passed away at the Dearness Home on May 27. He was in his 91st year.
Jim was born and grew up in Belfast, Northern Ireland, where he remembered spending Saturdays walking to town with his father and visiting the pet store to “talk to the parrots.” He would play cricket in the street with friends, and when he got older, he would wander up to the mountains nearby and pick bluebells. “My mother would say she never could find me,” he once recalled. His was a youth also defined by the war years. On Easter weekend in 1941, for instance, not yet 12, he rode a tram through Belfast during an air-raid, “with all these bombs falling and guns firing and searchlights and dogfights in the sky.”
In his teens, he apprenticed as a wood patternmaker at the Sirocco Works, where his father worked. After a four-year courtship that began on a dance floor in the seaside town of Bangor, he married Pat Moore in 1950. In fact, they might not have met had Pat not approached him during the “lady’s choice” part of the night. He later remembered: “I saw a group of young ladies heading in my direction, when someone touched my arm and said, ‘Would you like to dance?’ I think Pat saved me from the stampede!”
The couple and their growing family later moved to Bangor. In time, Jim established his own renovation and homebuilding business. In 1965, with four children, Jim and Pat emigrated to Canada, where they made their home in London, Ontario. Jim worked at Gudgeon Brothers until retirement. He volunteered at Parkwood Hospital and with the breakfast program at Kensal Park Public School. Retirement also allowed him to resume lawn bowling, and he joined a local league just as he had done back in Bangor decades earlier. For many years, Jim was an active member of St. Michaels and All Angels Anglican Church.
Predeceased by daughter Joanne, Jim leaves wife Pat; children Jim, Patricia and Shane; son-in-law Bob; daughter-in-law Diane; grandchildren Melissa (Sean), Michael, Melanie, Jesse (Taryn), Maggie, Daniel (Melina), Craille (Alexandros), Ryan (Asher) and Colin; and great-grandchildren Sydney, Andre, Jermaine, Fiona and Eila. He is survived also by brother David (Vicky) and by nephews and extended family in Ireland and England. Jim was predeceased by sisters Gertie and Margaret, brother Albert, and parents John and Mary.
Jim’s family thanks Dearness Home staff, especially in the Oakdale wing, for their care and for the many kindnesses shown to Jim and Pat over Jim’s stay there.
Cremation has taken place, and plans for other remembrances are pending. Those wanting to pay tribute to Jim may make a donation to the Alzheimer Society in his memory.
