Welcome & CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESS
|
All may make the sign of the cross, the sign that is marked at baptism, as the presiding minister begins.
Blessed be the holy Trinity, one God, in whose image we are made, who claims us and calls us beloved. Amen. |
Silence is kept for reflection.
Holy One, we confess that we are not awake for you. We are not faithful in using your gifts. We forget the least of our siblings. We do not see your beautiful image in one another. We are infected by sin that divides your beloved community. Open our hearts to your coming, open our eyes to see you in our neighbour, open our hands to serve your creation. Amen. |
Beloved, we are God’s children,
and Jesus, our Beloved, opens the door to us. Through Jesus you are forgiven, by Jesus you are welcome, in Jesus you are called to rejoice! Let us live in the promises prepared for us from the foundation of the world. Amen. |
Righteous God, our merciful master, you own the earth and all its peoples, and you give us all that we have. Inspire us to serve you with justice and wisdom, and prepare us for the joy of the day of your coming, through Jesus Christ, our Saviour and Lord. Amen.

Thank you to Connor for leading us in prayer
|
God of goodness and growth, all creation is yours, and your faithfulness is as firm as the heavens. Water and word, wine and bread: these are signs of your abundant grace. Nourish us through these gifts, that we might proclaim your steadfast love in our communities and in the world, through Jesus Christ, our strength and our song.
Amen.
Amen.
PRAYERS & Blessing
The Lord's Prayer
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.

Announcements
IN-PERSON WORSHIP SERVICES & MEETINGS at GLORY
Most of you are probably aware that infection rates of Covid-19 have been increasing rapidly. Further restrictions have recently been announced to hopefully slow down this spread.
We have received a pastoral letter from our bishop, The Rev. Dr. Larry Kochendorfer, regarding the recently announced COVID-19 restrictions and his strong recommendation that all congregations suspend in-person worship and meetings until the pandemic response level is lowered.
The safety measures and guidelines we have implemented at Glory are well within the allowed restrictions. However, caring for one another and for members of our community is something that God calls us to do. Therefore, for now, we plan to follow Bishop Larry’s recommendation and cancel in-person worship services and meetings for the time being.
We encourage you to read Bishop Larry’s letter in its entirety.

GLORY LUTHERAN CHURCH FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN:
Fulfilling God’s Vision for our Land: The Next Chapter
Total as of Nov 6: 242,980.03
Matching amount: 46,490.02
Overall Total: 289,470.05
It’s hard to believe that it is already November! It has been a long haul, standing up to the Coronavirus this spring, summer, and fall. How we have missed seeing each other, worshipping, talking, laughing together, grieving with and loving one another! We look forward in anticipation to the day when we can all be together again.
We are also less than 1 month away from the end of our fundraising campaign for the purchase of the land.
What an adventure it has been! We’ve talked with one another about the possibilities, envisioned what opportunities lay ahead, and checked in on how close we are to our goal of $300,000. We’ve had to find new ways to connect and share updates. Thank you for your very generous gifts and your prayers!
We are confident we will reach our goal of $300,000 by 01 December and look forward to this in expectant anticipation! If the total raised is above that amount the excess will be used for legal costs and will also be applied to the existing mortgage, which is up for renewal on 31 December.
As always, we ask for your prayers and support as we move into this exciting new phase in our church growth and outreach. If you have already donated, thank you so much for your generosity! If you are still planning on donating but have questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Pat or Aroon:
Pat Becker: 780-239-5345 beckermp@telusplanet.net
Aroon Sequeira: 780-901-9469 asequeira@sequeirapartners.com
God’s richest blessing to you and your family!
Respectfully,
