A PRAYER FOR TRINITY

Almighty and ever living God, ruler of all things in heaven and earth, hear our prayers for this parish family. Strengthen the faithful, arouse the careless, and restore the penitent. Grant us all things necessary for our common life, and bring us all to be of one heart and mind within your holy Church; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

A WARM WELCOME to all visitors and newcomers, we're glad you're here, and we hope you'll keep coming back!! Holy Communion is open to all that wish to receive. This is Christ's altar, not the Episcopal Church's, and all are welcome at Christ's feast. We also hope you'll introduce yourself to the clergy after the service and will sign our guest book. Please join us for light refreshments, goodies and conversation after the service in the Parish Hall at the opposite end of our building. Welcome!!

THANK YOU to all the many people who helped make our confirmation, reception and reaffirmation ceremony, along with Mother’s Day, so special. The food was delicious and plentiful. Thank you goes out to all those who helped clean up afterwards and put the room back in order. A wonderful day was the result of all your hard work.
