The monthly meeting of the Vestry has been transferred to Sunday, 16 July.
We extend our prayers for all – and especially for those travelling – for a safe and happy holiday weekend. Please remember those who currently serve in harm’s way in the defense of our country and freedom throughout the world, and also those who through the years have sacrificed so much in the service of our nation.
“O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
between their loved homes and the war’s desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued land
praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just
and this be our motto, “In God is our trust.”
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
o’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!”
Francis Scott Key, “The Star-Spangled Banner”
