A Prayer in Time of Pandemic
O God, whose Only Begotten Son bore the weight of human suffering for our salvation,
hear the prayers of your Church for our sick brothers & sisters & deliver us from this time of trial.
Open our ears & our hearts to the voice of your Son:
"Be not afraid, for I am with you always."
Bless all doctors & nurses, researchers &
public servants; give us the wisdom to do
what is right & the faith to endure this hour,
that we might gather once again to
praise your name in the heart of your church,
delivered from all distress & confident in your mercy.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Don’t fall for the Gift Card Scam!
Sadly the holidays are an opportunity for scams. At least two pastors have experienced a
scam email claiming they needed gift cards. This is a reminder that the parish would only use normal & ordinary means to communicate any requests, particularly involving donations. If an email request looks odd, Hit DELETE! -
