Happy Twenty-Second Sunday after Trinity as the seemingly endless Green Season gets closer to the end. The AOC Sunday Report can be downloaded  RIGHT HERE . There are great sermons this morning from Bishops Jerry and Roy, as well as Revs Jack and Bryan.  They are always different, they are always at least very good.  Rev Jack's can be seen on video  RIGHT HERE . Ever week, we say there are a lot of people who need your prayer, this week is no different.  Please take a little time to pray for the people on the list and for those on your own list.  Start with Shamu, Jim, Laurie, Tricia, Lori and Maddog, work out from there. There is a super EPIC week ahead.  If you think not, rethink after opening your heart to the Holy Ghost. Godspeed, Hap Church of the Faithful Centurion Descanso, California United States of America

Rev Jack's sermon can be seen on video  RIGHT HERE !   Sermon - Rev Jack Arnold Church of the Faithful Centurion - Descanso, California Today ’ s sermon tied the Collect, Epistle and Gospel together and talked, as is oft the case, of the need for action, not simply diction and are all tied together.  Today ’ s propers really put to lie the concept of the hermit Christian.  When we talk about them, look how the Collect talks about the Household of God, what Bishop Cranmer styles as the Church, and how Paul speaks of the benefits of fellowship and joint prayer.  If that were not enough, see how Jesus reminds us of the need for forgiveness and patience, things you only need if you interface with others.   Consider these words from the Collect:   … keep thy household the Church in continual godliness; that through thy protection it may be free from all adversities, and devoutly given to serve thee in good works, to the glory of thy Name...

    A NOTHER  parable put he forth unto them, saying,  The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field :  25  But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way .  26  But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.   27  So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares ?  28  He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up ?  29  But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them .  30  Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn .  (Matthew 13:24...
