Hope Anglican Baptism

October 14, 2012 was another joyous day at Hope Anglican Church (Oscoda,MI) as Rev. Thomas Anderson, Rector and Rev. Jeff Johnston, Curate joined with the people of Hope Anglican to Baptize Ms. Vonda Tomaszewski into Christ’s Body the Church.

Heavenly Father, we thank you that by water and the Holy Spirit you have bestowed upon this your servant, Vonda, the forgiveness of sin, and have raised her to the new life of grace. Sustain her, O Lord, in your Holy Spirit. Give her an inquiring and discerning heart, the courage to will and to persevere, a spirit to know and to love you, and the gift of joy and wonder in all your works.  Amen.

Feast Prayer for the Feast Day of Thomas Cranmer (October 16th)

Merciful God, who through the work of Thomas Cranmer didst renew the worship of thy Church by restoring the language of the people, and through whose death didst reveal thy power in human weakness: Grant that by thy grace we may always worship thee in spirit and in truth; through Jesus Christ, our only Mediator and Advocate, who livest and reignest with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
