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 only receive 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 is BOATING SAFETY Month

O GOD, who knowest us to be set in the midst of so many and great dangers, that by reason of the fraility of our nature we cannot always stand upright; Grant to us such strength and protection, as may support us in all dangers, and carry us through all temptations; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
