Soul Ascends to
Heaven
by Ruth Lewis Heyder
(Father Hines’ Aunt)
At the end of our life as one faithful to
God, the angels bear our soul up to Heaven.
At the Last Day, multitudes of angels will accompany our Lord Jesus when
He descends from Heaven with power and great glory to gather up the resurrected
bodies of his saints. The angels will be
witnesses to the Judgement Day. They will see our souls which had been in
Heaven - to take up our glorified resurrected bodies, and they will help God in
executing judgment upon His enemies.”
Twenty-Sixth Sunday after Trinity
November 16, 2008 A.D.
STEWARDSHIP
SUNDAY TODAY
As Christians, we recognize God as the source
of all creation, therefore the giver of all that we possess: “All things come of Thee O Lord... (I Chron.
29:14)” When we give gifts of money to the work of His Church, we are giving
back to God what is ultimately His: “...and of thine
own have we given Thee. (I Chron. 29:14)” Our possessions are material things,
but what we do with them is a spiritual matter.
The regular support of the ministry, through our weekly donations at
Church, becomes a disciplined way of acknowledging who God is and what is
His. Practiced in the right way, our
giving becomes a real way to thank God for the abundance of His blessings. Pledge cards are distributed during the
service today and need to be returned by Sunday, November 30th. Please pray for the Stewardship of our Parish
to improve. Pray for our Vestry. Pray for your priest. And finally pray for God to give you a clear
sense of direction in your own offering to Him through St. George’s.

DID YOU
KNOW?
Life insurance has long been a part of estate
planning in the United
States.
Although life insurance does not need to be a part of every person’s
estate plan, it can be useful, especially for parents of young children and
those who support a spouse or a disabled adult or child. In addition to helping to support dependents,
life insurance can help provide immediate cash at death. Insurance proceeds are a handy source of cash
to pay the decease’s debts, funeral expenses, and income or estate taxes. People who have no minor children or
financially strapped dependents may not need life insurance. If you decide to purchase insurance, you
should know exactly why you are buying it and choose the best type of policy
for your needs. And, of course, you
should buy no more than you need.

We employ the rich Cerremonial
of the historic Church in our worship.
While it may seem a bit strange or unnatural to you at first, be
patient. The liturgical heritage of the
Church WILL speak to you in time, as it has to Christians through the
centuries.
Welcome to Saint George’s Parish
In the Name of God the Father who created us
and sustains the world in which we live, God the Son who died for us and rose
again to save us from a life of sin and death, and God the Holy Ghost who
inhabits and guides our sacramental and prayerful worship of Him, the One and
Triune God.
