The Tenth Sunday after Trinity
10.00am Parish Eucharist
Collect (Prayer):
Lord of heaven and earth,
as Jesus taught his disciples to be persistent in prayer,
give us patience and courage never to lose hope,
but always to bring our prayers before you;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Bible Readings:
1 Kings 19.9-18, Romans 10.5-15, Matthew 14.22-33
Prayer After Communion:
God of our pilgrimage,
you have willed that the gate of mercy
should stand open for those who trust in you:
look upon us with your favour
that we who follow the path of your will
may never wander from the way of life;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
