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.

Please join us for light refreshments, goodies and conversation after the service in the Parish Hall at the opposite end of our building. Welcome!!
