Epiphany, May 15, 2016

As we usually do, the church was decorated for Epiphany Sunday and most members of the congregation wore red. In addition, Fr. Cass took this opportunity to announce to the congregation that our own beloved Fr. Tim has officially been appointed as the Chaplain for Memorial Hospital West in Pembroke Pines. Happy news, and we praise God for prayers answered.

Easter Services, March 27, 2016

Children's Serenade, Feb 28, 2016

Under the direction of our wonderful Miss Jenny, the children charmed us all with several songs, accompanied by the appropriate hand gestures.

One of these pieces was sung at the visit of Archbishop Kolini, the technical problems interfered with the other songs. So, they took this occasion to treat us to all the songs they learned.

Thanks to the young people for this delightful performance.

Archbishop Kolini's Visit - Feb 21, 2016

The church was thrilled to welcome His Grace, Archbishop Kolini, who joined our worship service on this beautiful day.

The children sang for the Archbishop, which he very much enjoyed. As well, Fr. Cass invited him to sit before the congregation while he read a lengthy list of the Archbishop's achievements over the years in the service of our Lord. After a very moving homily on the spirit of forgiveness, the Archbishop was particularly pleased when the congregation, led by Dr. Brent Swanson, sang songs of praise in the Archbishop's native language.

At a small reception in the church hall, the Archbishop cut a cake and shared stories with us all. We thank God for the visit by this faithful servant of our Lord.

Valentine's Day - 2016

Once again, our amazing Miss Jenny made a giant chocolate chip cookie for our Sunday School kids to enjoy in class, while they worked on a surprise for Fr Cass. Every child work a monkey hugging them around their necks. What fun! Then they marched down the aisle with their "GOD IS LOVE" banner and presented their big Valentine card to ACOW and Fr Cass. The children all signed the card, which made it extra special.

Thank You, Jenny, for all that you do for our beloved church.

Surprise Birthday Celebration - Deacon Flo
January 31, 2016

Our wonderful Rector, Fr. Cass, is sometimes a bit sneaky. He sent a secret email to all the congregation telling them of the 80th birthday of our beloved Deacon Flo Taber-Brown. So, we all brought cards, and part way through the service we surprised her by loading her up with cards, gifts, flowers and lots and lots of love and best wishes. Dear Flo was thrilled and somewhat overwhelmed.

After the service, we surprised her once again with a birthday party in the church hall. It was a joy for us all to pay tribute to this much loved (and very hard-working), devoted servant of our Lord.

We pray for God's continued blessing on you, dear Flo, and we wish you many, many more healthy and happy years.

Ordination of The Rev. Canon Timothy Richards Mayberry, OSA,
January 9, 2016

Praise be to God!

With great joy, the Anglican Church of the Word announces that The Rev. Canon Timothy R. Mayberry, OSA, was ordained to the priesthood on January 9, 2016, by The Rt. Rev. David R. Francoeur, Network Bishop for Home Church and Evangelism.

During the 2nd part of the ceremony, The Rt. Rev. Barry Becchio, Abbot of the Order of St. Alcuin, admitted Fr. Tim to the Order of St. Alcuin, as he sought to embrace the Benedictine rule as a way of life.

The congregation congratulated the new Fr. Tim, his loving wife Marla, and warmly welcomed the visiting Bishops and clergy with a delightful gathering in the hall afterwards. The excellent food and cake were greatly enjoyed by all.

A few of the photos received of this happy event (thank you, Ginger) are shown below.
