THE COLLECT
Almighty and everlasting God,
you have given us your servants grace,
by the confession of a true faith,
to acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity
and in the power of the divine majesty to worship
the Unity:
keep us steadfast in this faith,
that we may evermore be defended from all
adversities;
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. Amen


THE READINGS

New Testament: Romans 8:12-17
Gospel: John 3:1-17


POST COMMUNION PRAYER
Almighty and eternal God,
you have revealed yourself as Father, Son and
Holy Spirit,
and live and reign in the perfect unity of love:
hold us firm in this faith,
that we may know you in all your ways
and evermore rejoice in your eternal glory,
who are three Persons yet one God,
now and for ever. Amen


To think about this week:

Submit yourselves, then, to God.
Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
Come near to God and he will come near
to you.
James 4:7-8


and on this day in 1975:

Reopening of the Suez canal to international
shipping, eight years after its closure during
the war with Israel (1967).


Please pray for:

Peace in the world. Asking God's blessing on all people who suffer as a result of violence the world over.

The political life of our country, that confidence may be restored and that all may work for the common good.

In the Diocese: Sonning Deanery: Area Dean David Hodgson, Lay Chair Judith Scott.
