Guest Celebrant and Preacher Schedule
Fr. Cherian Pulimootil Guest Celebrant and Preacher for the month of December.
A prayer written by Charles Mathews which was read during the 10:00 service this past Sunday.
God of our beginnings and endings. You have favored this congregation these past many months with the ministry of Fr. Rob as the interim priest in charge. He has been a blessing to us as his sermons of passion and love have deepened our understanding of your love and forgiveness: as his spiritual leadership has broadened our understanding of our joys and obligations as practicing Christians and, as his insights have led to deeper discernment of the teachings of your Son, Jesus Christ.
Fr. Rob has comforted us in times of sickness and trouble, shared our joys and sorrows, and he and Sue have been much loved members of the family of St. Francis. God has blessed his Spirit in fulfilling this interim ministry, and God has blessed us through him.
Heavenly Father, we thank you for the ministry of Fr. Rob, and for our life together in this congregation. As he has been a blessing to us, so now send him out to be a blessing to others, and we humbly ask that you bless Fr. Rob and Sue as they continue on their journey in the life you grant them.
Through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Amen

"who we are ....

T.rusting in the Lord
Faithful in thanks to God
Reaching out to others
Abiding in the Word
