Indeed, rarely will anyone die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person someone might actually dare to die.      Romans 5:7

O Judge of the nations, we remember before you with grateful hearts the men and women of our country who in the day of decision ventured much for the liberties we now enjoy. Grant that we may not rest until all the people of this land share the benefits of true freedom and gladly accept its disciplines. This we ask in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. BCP p. 839

Almighty God, we commend to your gracious care and keeping all the men and women of our armed forces at home and abroad. Defend them day by day with your heavenly grace; strengthen them in their trials and temptations; give them courage to face the perils which beset them; and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. BCP p. 823

O God our Father, whose Son forgave his enemies while he was suffering shame and death: Strengthen those who suffer for the sake of conscience; when they are accused, save them from speaking in hate; when they are rejected, save them from bitterness; when they are imprisoned, save them from despair; and to us your servants, give grace to respect their witness and to discern the truth, that our society may be cleansed and strengthened. This we ask for the sake of Jesus Christ, our merciful and righteous Judge. Amen. BCP p. 823

Young Adult Supper Eucharist

The Young Adults of Resurrection (You know who you are.) will be gathering in the parish hall this Saturday evening at 6:00 for our monthly potluck supper Eucharist. Our practice at the gathering is to use the readings for the feast of the day (or on ferias the feast that is closest) and then to discuss the readings, the saint, or whatever we’re feeling a need to discuss. It’s a relaxed and informal group. The hardest part is deciding what to bring for the potluck.
