Other sites of interest

End of the Summer, Last of WOW and Appreciation Party will be Saturday, September 6, starting at 2 PM.  We will eat about 6:30 with the food being prepared on site by White's of Albany.  They will be cooking seafood of all kinds and will bring everything but drinks which means nobody will have to work before or after.  Please put this on your calendar, invite friends and let Julia or Melody or Robert know how many you are bringing.  Parish Life and WOW are paying for this but there will be a bucket for donations if you are so inclined.  Let's all attend for an afternoon of fun, fellowship and good food.

                      A Prayer for these United States

Lord God, our heavenly, Holy Father, you are the God of our fathers and mothers.  We ask you to bless and keep these states in your precious love.  Keep us united, in this central part of North America.  May each state recognize your supreme power over all.  May we, as a united country, realize the blessings which are ours through your mighty acts of creation.  Thank you for allowing us to remain united rather than divided.

Lord Jesus Christ, we are your people.  We offer to you our grateful thanksgiving and humble praise that you have called us to be one country, even as we try to help other countries to remain, or to become united.  By your love and compassion, Lord Jesus, you came as God in the flesh.  You died for us.  It was our great sin which nailed you to the cross, Lord Jesus.  Please forgive us.

Blessed Holy Spirit, we offer to you our heartfelt thanks for the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.  As you fathered him and gave him birth through the Blessed Virgin Mary, you also allowed him to be the sacrifice for us - he died for our sins.  May we, in these United States, offer our gratitude for the many blessings you have given to us, and continue to give.  Our Lord Jesus rose again and he assures us that we too will rise and live eternally with him.  We thank you once gain, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, for the great riches we have gained through knowing Jesus as our dear Lord and loving Savior.  Amen
