Read­ings for Next Sunday: St Luke’s Patron­al Fest­iv­al

First Read­ing: Jeremi­ah 8.22–9.3            Psalm: 145.10–18

Second Reading:2 Timothy 4.9–17a        Gos­pel: Luke 10.1–9

The Revd John Bunyan has a very lim­ited num­ber (30) of his latest book, Around The Broad Land: Pray­ers and Read­ings for the Circ­ling Year.

These books are numbered and signed, and are avail­able for dona­tions of at least $100 to send via ABM to the Epis­copal Dio­cese of Jer­u­s­alem.

The money is for Al-Alhi Hos­pit­al, foun­ded by CMS in 1882, and the only Chris­ti­an hos­pit­al in Gaza, with no income from nor con­nec­tion with the Hamas author­it­ies.  Details of this small but very import­ant hos­pit­al are on the dio­ces­an web-site.  Even our small gifts will give encour­age­ment to those who care for young and old, sick, wounded, trau­mat­ised, or dying, in very dif­fi­cult cir­cum­stances, and show that our Church in the “Holy Land” is not for­got­ten.
