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: Heavenly Father, whose blessed Son was
revealed to destroy the works of the devil and to make us the children of God
and heirs of eternal life: grant that we, having this hope, may purify
ourselves even as he is pure; that when he shall appear in power and great
glory we may be made like him in his eternal and glorious kingdom; where he
is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now
and for ever AMEN Post Communion:
Gracious Lord, in this holy sacrament you give substance to our
hope: bring us at the last to that
fullness of life for which we long; through Jesus Christ our Saviour AMEN We pray this week within the Anglican
