Month 
Week 
Day March – April 2014
We gather every Sunday Liturgy. The word liturgy means “work, or work of the people,” and it is work of the people, not for the people (which is the distinction between liturgy and magic, since magic is directed for some outcome for people). Liturgy is different than a service which often is entertainment at its worst, or passively watching and listening to what is going on at church. Liturgy, rather, is something we do together.
Bible study is held on Wednesdays at St. Philip Neri Ecumenical Church. The first, second, and Gospel readings for the upcoming Sunday Liturgy are reviewed and discussed. If you wish to attend, please call or Email Carrie Allwine to confirm time of class. She can be reached at (904)553-7558.
To read the Liturgy Readings in their entirety for each week’s Sunday Service, go to the Welcome (home) Page or http://nerichurch.org/liturgy-readings-for-sunday-january-27-third-sunday-in-ordinary-time/
A complete outline of readings for the the month can be found on the first page of the St. Philip Neri Monthly Newsletter http://nerichurch.org/st-philip-neri-monthly-newsletters/
All are welcome to attend Bible Study. We look forward to seeing you there!

HOUR OF HEALING PRAYER
The Healing Prayer Ministry of St. Philip Neri Ecumenical Church is offering an Hour of Healing Prayer on the FIRST Sunday of every month, immediately following the Liturgy. The Hour Of Healing Prayer will begin at approximately 12:00 pm. Anyone who wishes to receive prayer is welcome to come.
There will be a scripture selected and read at the beginning of the hour followed by a period of about 20 minutes per session of healing prayer. There will always be two prayer ministers present to pray with each person.
If you have a need for Healing Prayer for yourself or someone else and you are not able to come for prayer, please Email Marge Townsend at squattie@bellsouth.net or Margaret Santapola at 2twinb@bellsouth.net and we will place the name on our Prayer List.
“This is the sign of the believers, they lay hands on the sick and they recover.” Mark 16:18
If you or someone you know is struggling with difficult life circumstances, facing illness, or battling past or present emotional, financial or spiritual hurts, we would like to pray with you at our Healing Prayer Service.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The Healing Prayer Service offers a personal and intimate encounter with God through worship and prayer. The service begins with a time of worship that includes singing and a scripture reading so that we can enter into His presence with faith and hope. There will be an opportunity to receive the sacrament of reconciliation.
WHY COME TO THE PRAYER SERVICE
We believe the difficulties of life were not meant to be shouldered alone. God promises to meet us when we come to Him and lay our burdens before Him. Jesus says in Matthew 11:28: “ “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”

Holy Thursday Service – Washing of the Feet, Evening Liturgy of the Lord’s Supper
Reading 1EX 12:1-8, 11-14
“This month shall stand at the head of your calendar;
you shall reckon it the first month of the year.
Tell the whole community of Israel:
On the tenth of this month every one of your families
must procure for itself a lamb, one apiece for each household.
If a family is too small for a whole lamb,
it shall join the nearest household in procuring one
and shall share in the lamb
in proportion to the number of persons who partake of it.
The lamb must be a year-old male and without blemish.
You may take it from either the sheep or the goats.
You shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month,
and then, with the whole assembly of Israel present,
it shall be slaughtered during the evening twilight.
They shall take some of its blood
and apply it to the two doorposts and the lintel
of every house in which they partake of the lamb.
That same night they shall eat its roasted flesh
with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.“This is how you are to eat it:
with your loins girt, sandals on your feet and your staff in hand,
you shall eat like those who are in flight.
It is the Passover of the LORD.
For on this same night I will go through Egypt,
striking down every firstborn of the land, both man and beast,
and executing judgment on all the gods of Egypt—I, the LORD!
But the blood will mark the houses where you are.
Seeing the blood, I will pass over you;
thus, when I strike the land of Egypt,
no destructive blow will come upon you.
“This day shall be a memorial feast for you,
which all your generations shall celebrate
with pilgrimage to the LORD, as a perpetual institution.”
Responsorial Psalm PS 116:12-13, 15-16BC, 17-18
How shall I make a return to the LORD
for all the good he has done for me?
The cup of salvation I will take up,
and I will call upon the name of the LORD.
R/. Our blessing-cup is a communion with the Blood of Christ.
Precious in the eyes of the LORD
is the death of his faithful ones.
I am your servant, the son of your handmaid;
you have loosed my bonds.
R/. Our blessing-cup is a communion with the Blood of Christ.
To you will I offer sacrifice of thanksgiving,
and I will call upon the name of the LORD.
My vows to the LORD I will pay
in the presence of all his people.
R/. Our blessing-cup is a communion with the Blood of Christ.
Reading 2 1 COR 11:23-26
I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you,
that the Lord Jesus, on the night he was handed over,
took bread, and, after he had given thanks,
broke it and said, “This is my body that is for you.
Do this in remembrance of me.”
In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying,
“This cup is the new covenant in my blood.
Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.”
For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup,
you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes.
Gospel JN 13:1-15
Before the feast of Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come
to pass from this world to the Father.
He loved his own in the world and he loved them to the end.
The devil had already induced Judas, son of Simon the Iscariot, to hand him over.
So, during supper,
fully aware that the Father had put everything into his power
and that he had come from God and was returning to God,
he rose from supper and took off his outer garments.
He took a towel and tied it around his waist.
Then he poured water into a basin
and began to wash the disciples’ feet
and dry them with the towel around his waist.
He came to Simon Peter, who said to him,
“Master, are you going to wash my feet?”
Jesus answered and said to him,
“What I am doing, you do not understand now,
but you will understand later.”
Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet.”
Jesus answered him,
“Unless I wash you, you will have no inheritance with me.”
Simon Peter said to him,
“Master, then not only my feet, but my hands and head as well.”
Jesus said to him,
“Whoever has bathed has no need except to have his feet washed,
for he is clean all over;
so you are clean, but not all.”
For he knew who would betray him;
for this reason, he said, “Not all of you are clean.”
So when he had washed their feet
and put his garments back on and reclined at table again,
he said to them, “Do you realize what I have done for you?
You call me ‘teacher’ and ‘master,’ and rightly so, for indeed I am.
If I, therefore, the master and teacher, have washed your feet,
you ought to wash one another’s feet.
I have given you a model to follow,
so that as I have done for you, you should also do.”
