God's Grandeur
The world is charged with the grandeur of God,
It will flame out , like shining from shook foil;
It gathers to greatness, like the ooze of oil
Crushed. Why do men then now not reck his rod?
Generations have trod, have trod, have trod;
And all is seared with trade: bleared, smeared with toil;
And wears man's smudge and shares man's smell:
the soil is bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod.

And for all this, nature is never spent;
There lives the dearest freshness deep down things ;
And though the last lights off the black West went
Oh, morning at the brown brink eastward springs -
Because the Holy Ghost over the bent
World broods with warm breast and with ah!
bright wings

                                                                                                                       Gerald Manley Hopkins

The Parish Prayer

​Father,
Pour out your Spirit
​upon the people of this parish, 
and grant us
a new vision of your glory,
a new experience of your power,
a new faithfulness to your word and
a new consecration to your service,
that your love may grow among us
and your kingdom come.
Through Christ our Lord Amen.

St. Edward the Confessor Pray for us.
