THE COLLECT FOR SUNDAY

O God, whose blessed Son came into the world that he might destroy the works of the devil and make us children of God and heirs of eternal life: Grant that, having this hope, we may purify ourselves as he is pure; that, when he comes again with power and great glory, we may be made like him in his eternal and glorious kingdom; where he lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. BCP236

FOOD FOR THE POOR

We welcome The Reverend Hyvenson Joseph from Food for the Poor

as our preacher today.

Founded in 1982, Food for the Poor is an interdenominational Christian ministry working to end suffering of the poor in 17 countries of the Caribbean and Latin America. The organization provides food for the starving, but also builds homes for the destitute, digs wells for water, provides medicine to the sick and elderly, and supports orphanages and education for children. Brochures are available on the ministry table.

Many thanks to Jamie and John Davidson and Joy and Bob Dean

for serving as hosts for Father Joseph during his visit.
