TRINITY SUNDAY 11 June 2006

We welcome all who worship here today. If you are a newcomer please speak to one of the welcomers or to one of the clergy. We invite you to complete a card which you will find in your pew, or on the table near the door of the church, and hand it to one of the welcomers. Communicant members of all Churches are 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.

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

Readings: Isaiah 6:1-8; Romans 8:12-17; John 3:1-17

Post Communion: 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
