OUR VISION: We aspire to be a welcoming, caring, faith community that loves God through Christ.

OUR MISSION: Our love for God is expressed by seeking and serving God in Christ through worship, service, teaching and stewardship.

About this service:

In Isaiah it is the one God who sits above the earth and numbers the stars-it is that God who strengthens the powerless. So, in Jesus' healing work we see the hand of the creator God, lifting up the sick woman to health and service (diakonia). Like Simon's mother-in-law, we are lifted up to health and diakonia. Following Jesus, we strengthen the powerless; like Jesus, we seek to renew our own strength in quiet times of prayer.

Isaiah 40: 21-31

The Judeans in exile have a good reason to be hopeful: the one who will bring them to freedom is the God who created the world, the God who subdues the rulers of the earth and give strength to those who are weary.

Mark 1: 29-39

Everywhere Jesus goes, many people expect him to set them free from oppression. Everywhere he goes, he heals them and sets them free. Disease, devils, and death are running for their lives. The forces that diminish human life are rendered powerless by Jesus.

In our intercessions this morning we pray for:

- Fred, our Primate; John, our Bishop.

- In our Parish family, we pray for Fr. Rick and the ministry of our Counters.

- -In the Diocesan Prayer Calendar, we remember All Saint's, Westboro, Ottawa with The Venerable Chris Dunn; Church of the Ascension, Ottawa with The Reverend Canon Dr. Gary Hauch; for all who work and minister at Cornerstone/Le Pilier with Sue Garvey, Director.

- -On our Prayer List, we pray for healing and wholeness for Irene Organ, Joyce Taylor, Jean Boothroyd, Frank Moulton, Bill Slight, Nancy Colton, Gloria Thompson, Shelley Zurcher, Francesco Miron, their families and care-givers and any others known to us.

- We remember the residents and staff of St. Pat's Home and Windsor Park Manor.

- We pray for members of our Canadian Armed Forces and their families.

In your prayers at home this week, please remember: Birthdays celebrated : Carmen Hust/Kubanek (Feb. 6); Silke Kubanek (Feb. 7); Tyler Brown 9Feb. 11).
