for the week of  
February 9, 2020
Please send joys and concerns to the Church Office  
Our wonderous God, even as you cause the sun to rise, so also bring the light of Christ to dawn in our souls, dispelling the darkness. Give us grace to reflect Christ's glory. Let his love show in our deeds, his peace shine from our words, and his healing flow through our touch, that all may give you praise now and forever.  Amen
