Almighty and everlasting God, increase in us your gift of faith that, forsaking what lies behind and reaching out to that which is before, we may run the way of your commandments and win the crown of everlasting joy; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Post Communion Prayer We praise and thank you, O Christ, for this sacred feast: for here we receive you, here the memory of your passion is renewed, here our minds are filled with grace, and here a pledge of future glory is given, when we shall feast at that table where you reign with all your saints for ever. Please pray for Those who are sick Ken, Peter Sparkes, Nellie Meadows, Eric Dickerson, Peggy (Val’s Sister) Jean W, Adam, Kevin, Shirley O’Halloran
Those who have died: In recent worldwide conflicts, those on the year’s mind list this week. Those who recently died: Please join us for refreshments after the 10 am service in the community room.
