Octorara Area Food Cupboard is closing today at 2pm to allow our volunteers a safe trip home in this weather. Will re-open on Tuesday, 9-7-21 at 10 am. Everyone stay safe.

Collect for the Day: Grant us, Lord, not to be anxious about earthly things, but to love things heavenly; and even now, while we are placed among things that are passing away, to hold fast to those that shall endure; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Grant us, O Lord, to trust in you with all our hearts; for, as you always resist the proud who confide in their own strength, so you never forsake those who make their boast of your mercy; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Note from Daniel G P Gutiérrez to the diocese sent on email. My siblings in Christ, Following last night’s storm and tornados in parts of our diocese coupled w...ith today’s continued flooding, I wanted to remind you that I continue to hold all of you in my prayers. We have begun checking in with some of our churches, so if your church has been affected, please contact our office directly ([email protected], or respond to this email) for prayer, support and resources that may be helpful during this time. Your safety is our utmost priority. I extend Psalm 46 for all in our diocese to pray together: God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear, though the earth should change, though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea; though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble with its tumult. God is in the midst of the city; it shall not be moved; God will help it when the morning dawns. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.

Good morning and Welomce

Please stock up on cereal for our next drive. Next drive date is TBA, but items can be brought to church and left in St Joseph’s hall on the table by the kitchen.

Grant, O merciful God, that your Church, being gathered together in unity by your Holy Spirit, may show forth your power among all peoples, to the glory of your Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.

Good morning and Welcome

Grant to us, Lord, we pray, the spirit to think and do always those things that are right, that we, who cannot exist without you, may by you be enabled to live according to your will; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
