A Word from Companions of St. Stephen

12/10/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
The Companions of St. Stephen provides individual outreach for St. James Anglican Church through financial, spiritual and emotional assistance. Our outreach is to members of the church as well as the Fresno community. 
Anyone in need may contact the church. In the event of a financial need, the request is reviewed by members of the Companions of St. Stephens and Fr. Carlos. All requests and decisions are confidential. 
Since the outbreak of COVID 19 and the inability to meet in person, the Companions of St. Stephens has expanded and included the SOS (Servants of the Savior). SOS includes a periodic newsletter of hope to the St. James community as well as a phone and food outreach. The goal of SOS is to maintain a ‘physical touch’ with every member of the congregation, reminding them they are still a part of the body of Christ. SOS has expanded its call through food deliveries and phone and card outreach to the St. James community. 
“You Always Belong to Us” is the latest project of SOS. It is a card and small gift card outreach to our children and grandchildren who have lost contact with St. James, designed to provide a word of encouragement and hope. 
In the immediate future, the Companions of St. Stephens hopes to video oral histories of some of the senior members of St. James. It is our hope that a record of their history and experiences will encourage all of us in our walk with God.

The S.O.S Call - Issue 22

9/2/2020

Corona Virus Times

Are you ever pleased and delighted to have your grown children encourage you with a gift of spiritual insight? After all those years of being the adult, it is such a delight to have one of them suddenly turn to you and give you deeply spiritual encouragement. Every time it happens to me, I feel such an upwelling of joy. Wow, my children are returning some of their spiritual learning - tempered and filtered through their own lives, coming fresh from their experience with God. It is so humbling. My son has done that on a regular basis, as an outgrowth of his own journey.

Children’s Christmas Pageant

1/9/2020

0 Comments

 
​A delightful presentation of the Nativity Story was enjoyed by all as we entered the Christmas week.  Children and young folks of all ages participated in the production, including the newest member of the congregation, Elijah, as our own baby Jesus in the manger.  The kids did a wonderful job, and as is typical of children’s performances, we had a loose sheep or two running around the set.  It was a joy to watch for all in the pews.  Afterward, everyone joined together for fellowship over pizza and cake recognizing the birth of our Lord.  Many thanks to Barb and Diana for their vision and creativity in putting the pageant together this year.  We can hardly wait for next year’s performance!

“The Life is in The Blood” III

12/9/2019

0 Comments

 
​This treatise is part of a three essay series on the Holy Eucharist written by Fr. Carlos Raines.
 
“The Life is in The Blood”
The Meaning of the Holy Eucharist 
As Jesus Taught it in John Chapter 6
Part III
So in the last article we left Peter hoping Jesus would NEVER speak again about such horrors as “feeding on His flesh” and “drinking His blood.” 
​

And then came the day the disciples gathered for what we call “The Last Supper.”
 
It had been a hard day but a very exciting week even if it had been a little frustrating lately as Peter and the rest wondered when the Master would strike the blow of liberation from the Romans and all the Jewish traitors who supported them.  But maybe he carefully had put all that aside because at least tonight the ancient, familiar and comforting ritual known as Peshach; the Passover, would take place.
