Collect – Sixth Sunday after Trinity (Proper 10) Merciful God, you have prepared for those who love you such good things as pass our understanding: pour into our hearts such love toward you that we, loving you in all things and above all things, may obtain your promises, which exceed all that we can desire; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

Post Communion God of our pilgrimage, you have led us to the living water: refresh and sustain us as we go forward on our journey, in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord.

3 The Departed Please remember in your prayers the following people who have died recently and are united with our Lord in Glory:

Mike Phillips, Beryl Essex, Roy Hanslip, Audrey Chapman, Eric Rendell, Gerry Manuel, Laura Baker, Kenwyn Brown, Ann Davidge, Reginald Churchill, Christopher Thomas, Deryck Hudson and John Mason

A Prayer for those we have lost.

In your hands, O Lord, we humbly entrust our brothers and sisters. In this life you embraced them with your tender love; deliver them now from every evil and bid them eternal rest for evermore.

May the souls of all the departed, by the mercy and love of God, rest in peace, and rise in Glory! Amen.
