Joys &
Sorrows
Almighty and everliving God, ruler of all things in heaven and earth, hear our prayers for this parish family. Strengthen the faithful, arouse the careless, and restore the penitent. Grant us all things necessary for our common life, and bring us all to be of one heart and mind within your holy Church; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Cameron and Christie Hamilton have a new baby girl. We give thanks for the birth of Betty Jane Hamilton born on February 8. Happy big sister is Ruby.
Let us pray
O God, you have taught us through your blessed Son that whoever receives a little child in the name of Christ receives Christ himself:
We give you thanks for the blessing you have bestowed upon the Hamilton family in giving them a daughter. Confirm their joy by a lively sense of your presence with them, and give them calm strength and patient wisdom as they seek to bring this child to love all that is true and noble, just and pure, lovable and gracious, excellent and admirable, following the example of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
Sorrows
All of us go down to the dust; yet even at the grave we make our song:
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia
