Newsletter Deadline
We extend a warm Welcome
to all who worship with us.
May your attendance at our worship service
be a wonderful blessing.
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is
hatred, let me sow love, where there is division, unity,
where there is error, your truth; where there is injury,
your pardon; where the is doubt, faith; where there is
despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where
there is sadness, joy.
O divine master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled
as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be
loved as to love, for it is in giving that we receive, it
is in pardoning that we are pardoned and it is in dying
that we are born to eternal life.
(St. Francis of Assisi)
Almighty God,
may we all sense the glory of your presence today and find
hope for life’s challenges.
