Confession, Absolution & The Peace, page 191 Offertory Hymn O Valiant Hearts
O Valiant hearts, who to your glory came Through dust of conflict and through battle flame;
Tranquil you lie, your knightly virtue proved, Your memory hallowed in the land you loved.
Proudly you gathered, rank on rank, to war, As who had heard God’s message from afar; All you had hoped for, all you had, you gave
To save mankind – yourselves you scorned to save.
Long years ago, as earth lay dark and still, Rose a loud cry upon a lonely hill,
While in the frailty of our human clay, Christ, our Redeemer, passed the self-same way.
O risen Lord, O Shepherd of our dead,
Whose cross has bought them and whose staff has led, In glorious hope their proud and sorrowing land
Commits her children to thy gracious hand.

135th SYNOD Yesterday our Parish hosted Diocesan Synod. A very special thank you to all who contributed to the day. There are too many people to mention; those who worked both behind the scenes and up front, with preparations, during the day and the long clean-up. Under the leadership of the PAC (Parish Activities Committee), everything went smoothly. We were asked to prepare for 325 delegates, no small task to provide them with coffee, snacks, lunch, directions and of course Parish Church hospitality. Once again, a job well done!

All: Lord, make us instruments of your peace. Light the sixth candle.

On this day of remembrance and reflection, we give thanks for all those who have served our nation in war and in peace and have paid the ultimate sacrifice. May their example inspire us to be people who love justice, who protect freedom, and who nurture a spirit of servitude and grace. Priest: And all God's people said together: Amen.
