Almighty and everlasting God, whose will it is to restore all things in your well-beloved Son, the King of kings and Lord of lords: Mercifully grant that the peoples of the earth, divided and enslaved by sin, may be freed and brought together under his most gracious rule; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Thankful? Yes. We are thankful for Howard’s warm welcome each Sunday, the company of our fellow parishioners, uplifting music, holy scripture to embrace , thought provoking and moving reflections by our Revs, sharing the Eucharist together and with all the company of heaven, and, today in particular, hot coffee and “donut holes” after our service thanks to Marty’s generosity.
