Sunday, June 12 ~ Trinity Sunday
God who weaves us together as one,
you dwell within us to sustain us and to guide us,
because you have made us in your image.
May your Spirit breathe within us the oxygen of self-giving love.
May your grace temper our actions to face challenge and suffering
with understanding, with empathy and with compassion.
May your Son walk with us each step along his Way,
meeting us, teaching us, and equipping us during our faith walk. Amen.
Gord Dunbar, Kincardine P.C., Kincardine, Ont.

Notes:
June 27th Miracle Food Drive
This is the 3rd year for this charitable event. This year’s drive will be done a bit differently. Please keep the spirit alive by dropping off your food donations directly to a charity or food bank of your choice. Food bank usage is still at an all-time high while food bank donations are at all-time lows.
