Almighty and everlasting God, you have given to us your servants grace, by the confession of a true faith, to acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity, and in the power of your divine Majesty to worship the Unity: Keep us steadfast in this faith and worship, and bring us at last to see you in your one and eternal glory, O Father; who with the Son and the Holy Spirit live and reign, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Announcement about Announcements: The Vestry requested a change to our announcement time during the Easter season in an attempt to create a more meaningful worship atmosphere with less time taken up for announcements and to improve communication so that more/all announcements go through the office and make it into the written announcement sheet, our website, and E-News. After receiving your feedback, it was decided that change will continue with announcements occurring after the Peace and lead by Mo. Rebecca (or a parish representative in her absence). If you have an announcement, please send it to Sue in the office beforeWednesday morning. If it is urgent and you forget, please give Mo. Rebecca your written announcement bySunday morning.
Thank you!
