 Great Prayer of Thanksgiving

Leader:        The Lord be with you.

All:              And also with you.

Leader:        Lift up your hearts.

All:              We lift them up to the Lord.

Leader:        Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.

All:              It is right to give God thanks and praise.

(The prayer begins by approaching the aspect of God as Creator, Father, Life-giver, being thankful for all that we have been given, especially the gift of Jesus Christ.  The segment concludes with words to the effect of…)

Leader:        We join with the whole creation to lift our hearts in joyful praise, saying together…

All:    Holy, Holy, Holy Lord, God of power and might,

          Heaven and earth are full of your glory.

          Hosanna in the highest.

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

Hosanna in the highest.

Leader:        We proclaim the mystery of faith, saying:

All:              Christ has died.

Christ has risen.

Christ will come again.

We come to the final segment of the prayer, addressing the Holy Spirit, moving from thankfulness for what has been done to intercessions regarding what may yet be.  A time of silent supplication may mark this time, after which we conclude with The Lord’s Prayer (debts).

Hear us as we pray boldly with the words that He taught us as we say together, Our Father…Amen.

************************************************

St. Patrick's Day
Dear Friends,

For the past few years, Linda Cairns suggested the Church host an Irish Night on St. Patrick’s Day.

In Linda’s memory I would like to suggest that we take part in a St. Patrick’s Day dinner, Thursday, March 17, at Symposium Restaurant. (which we'll call O’Symposium for the night.)

I have made reservations for 5:30 pm. All are welcome to attend and everyone is responsible for their own dinners and beverages- it is just a night of fellowship and camaraderie.

I need firm numbers from those who are attending by Monday March 14^th so I can confirm seating. 
Please contact me by phone or e-mail. If no one answers please leave a message.

H: 905 877-2323 C: 905875-9753 or odata@hotmail.com

In Linda’s memory I am looking forward to seeing you all there!
