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: O Lord, raise up, we pray, your power and
come among us, and with great might succour us; that whereas, through our sins and
wickedness we are grievously hindered in running the race that is set before
us, your bountiful grace and mercy may speedily help and deliver us; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, to
whom with you and the Holy Spirit, be honour and glory, now and for ever AMEN Post Communion: Father
in heaven, who sent your Son to redeem the world and will send him again to
be our judge: give us grace so to
imitate him in the humility and purity of his first coming that, when he
comes again, we may be ready to greet him with joyful love and firm faith;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN We pray this week within the Anglican
Communion for the clergy and people of the for our Diocese of St
