A Prayer for our St. Gabriel’s Youth & Advisors, serving our Lord in West Virginia
We would be grateful if you could remember us in prayer throughout the week of June 24-30.
We praise God for your support and encouragement.
O Lord, our heavenly Father, whose blessed son came not to be served, but to serve; we pray for your blessing on our mission team from St. Gabriel’s, and on your fellow servants from across our nation. As they follow in Jesus’s footsteps, loving and serving their neighbors, fill them with wisdom, patience, and courage. Enable them to strengthen the weak, to encourage the faint-hearted, and to share their gifts generously with those they serve. Give them attentive minds and compassionate hearts, that they may learn while they work. Give them skillful hands and ready wills, that their eagerness to help will overtake the desire for personal ease. Inspire them with your love, that they may worthily minister in your name to the suffering, the friendless, and the needy. Keep them safe from injury, and bring them home renewed and rejoicing. All this we ask through him who laid down his life for us, your Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.

SUMMER SUNDAY FUNDAYS
June 17, 2018
9:30AM PARISH HALL
PRETZEL MAKING
“Within the Christian Church, pretzels were often regarded as having religious significance for both ingredients and shape. The knot shape has been claimed to represent hands in prayer. The three holes within the pretzel represent the three persons of the Holy Trinity: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. As time passed, pretzels became associated with both Lent and Easter. Pretzels were hidden on Easter morning just as eggs are hidden today, and are particularly associated with Lent, fasting, and prayers before Easter.” Wikipedia
PRETZELS ARE ALSO DELICIOUS AND FUN! PLEASE COME!
