Collect

Almighty God, you have knit together your elect in one communion and fellowship in the mystical body of your Son Christ our Lord: grant us grace so to follow your blessed saints in all virtuous and godly living, that we may come to those inexpressible joys that you have prepared for those who truly love you; 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

Today: We celebrate our belonging to a family of Saints spanning two thousand years of Christian heritage. We have been baptized into a family with an everlasting future! We give thanks for Saints past and present, as the grace of God moves amongst us. I do hope you feel engaged in the life and mission of our community, one practical way you can

support our work is by financial support for All Saints’. As a church we are self-financed and do not receive any institutional support locally or from abroad. I would like to invite you to consider your financial contribution to All Saints’ so far this year; contributions help us in our community work, within our congregation and maintenance of the building. This week we will take a special offering towards upgrading our sound system and construction of doors where the PA is housed. Please give generously!  

Please stay after the service for our community Bring and Share lunch.
