Do you know someone who is a First Responder - fire, police, EMS, Child Protective Services? Invite them! The Hospitality Team, led by Jackie Wash, has already been hard at work organizing the set-up and preparation of the luncheon. There is no charge for the luncheon, but contributions (from parishioners, not guests) will be accepted.
Prayer for First
Responders
Blessed
are you, Lord, God of mercy, who through your son gave us a marvelous example
of charity and the great commandment of love for one another. Send down your
blessings on these your servants, who so generously devote themselves to
helping others. Grant them courage when they are afraid, wisdom when they must
make quick decisions, strength when they are weary, and compassion in all their
work. When the alarm sounds and they are called to aid both friend and
stranger, let them faithfully serve you in their neighbor. Amen.

GREATER LOVE HAS NO
ONE THAN THIS:
TO LAY HIS LIFE DOWN FOR HIS FRIENDS
