The Dismissal
All persons baptized with water & the Spirit in the Name of the Trinity are invited to receive the Eucharist. Those who wish to receive only a blessing may cross their arms. It is perfectly acceptable to receive the Eucharist in only one kind (i.e. the Host), and then decline the chalice, crossing your arms.

St. Matthew’s Health Ministry reminds us that JULY/AUGUST is
SUMMER SAFETY PREPAREDNESS MONTH
O God: Give me strength to live another day; Let me not turn coward before its difficulties or prove recreant to its duties; Let me not lose faith in other people; Keep me sweet and sound of heart, in spite of ingratitude, treachery, or meanness; Preserve me from minding little stings or giving them; Help me to keep my heart clean, and to live so Honestly and fearlessly that no outward failure can dishearten me or take away the joy of conscious integrity; Open wide eyes of my soul that I may see good in all things; Grant me this day some new vision of thy truth; Inspire me with the spirit of joy and gladness; and make me the cup of strength to suffering souls; in the name of the strong Deliverer, our only Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen. (Prayers for All Occasions, page 52)
