E-MINDER: the Church of the Incarnation

← PREVIOUS EMINDER | NEXT EMINDER →

THE WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 2 – SEPTEMBER 9, 2007

 

This week the church remembers Paul Jones, Bishop and Advocate for Peace (1941).

Merciful God, you sent your beloved Son to preach peace to those who are far off and to those who are near: Raise up in this and every land witnesses who, after the example of your servant Paul Jones, will stand firm in proclaiming the Gospel of the Prince of Peace, our Savior Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
