A Pilgrim Church - Going Places
By tradition, St. James is the patron saint of travellers, and we ask that as you visit us on your journey through the internet, you pause to pray, and of your goodness give to those in need.
O God the King of glory, who hast exalted thine only Son Jesus Christ with great triumph unto thy kingdom in heaven: We beseech thee, leave us not comfortless; but send to us thine Holy Ghost to comfort us, and exalt us unto the same place whither our Saviour Christ is gone before, who livest and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. Amen.
May all joys find here their source and their deepening
...
may all sorrows find here their solace and understanding ...
may anger and bitterness find their healing, and the guilty heart its
absolution ...
and may all who worship here find peace,
for here we are conscious of stepping into the presence of God .
