welcome to receive Holy Communion. If
you are not receiving Communion please come to the altar rail for a blessing
and carry a book so the minister knows.

Christ our Lord. AMEN

6-15 Luke 12: 16-30
Post Communion: Lord of the harvest, with joy we have
offered thanksgiving for your love in creation and have shared in the bread

things we enjoy; through Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN
