Collect
Almighty God,
you have created the heavens and the earth
and made us in your own image:
teach us to discern your hand in all your works
and your likeness in all your children;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who with you and the Holy Spirit reigns supreme over all things,
now and for ever. Amen.
Post
Communion
God our creator,
by your gift
the tree of life was set at the heart of the earthly paradise,
and the bread of life at the heart of your Church:
may we who have been nourished at your table on earth
be transformed by the glory of the Saviour’s cross
and enjoy the delights of eternity;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

During Lent, in addition to the groups organised by Churches Together in Rustington, we
are planning to run Pilgrim, a course which gives us an opportunity to explore the
Christian faith together, seeing how it can be lived out each day. More detailed
information about Pilgrim was included in an insert in the n/sheet, 1 Feb. Please speak to
Christine or Zachary if you might be interested in order that, i) we can order you a copy
of the course book (@£5.99), and ii) decide whether to offer both an afternoon group
(probably Wed) as well as one meeting in the evening (probably Thur). CK/ZA

there is anyone else – of school age, or adult – who is considering confirmation, please do have a
word with Christine, one of our Honorary Assistant Priests or myself as to what is entailed. ZA
