Welcome to our church today – we’re glad that you could come.
We’re honoured to share this day with you as we worship God’s risen Son.
We hope that God touches your life as we worship side by side,
And that you leave this place today with the peace of God inside.

We give a warm welcome to one and all and to our visitor and lay reader, Rae Phillips. Rae comes to us from St. Barnabas Church in St. Lambert and we are so very pleased to have her with us today. May God bless her and our Service here today.

Amen.

Dear God, we ask for Your help in remembering to put on Your full armor every day, for You give us all that we need to stand firm in this world. Forgive us, God, for the times we’ve been unprepared, too busy to care, or trying to fight and wrestle in our own strength. Thank You that we never fight alone, for You are constantly at work on our behalf, shielding, protecting, and strengthening us. In the powerful name of Jesus. Amen.
