The Church of the Crooked Spire
Its ponderous steeple, pillared in the sky
Rises with twist in pyramidal form,
And threatens danger to the timid eye
That climbs in wonder.
Samuel Bromley 1822
Prayer of the Month
February
- O God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, our only Saviour,
the Prince of Peace; give us grace seriously to lay to heart the
great dangers we are in by our unhappy divisions.
Take away all hatred and prejudice, and whatsoever else may hinder us from godly union and concord; that as there is but one Body and one Spirit, one hope of our calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of us all, so we may henceforth be all of one heart and of one soul, united in one holy bond of truth and peace, of faith and charity, and may with one mind and one mouth glorify Thee; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen. (Accession Service 1714)
January
- Make us worthy, Lord,
to serve our fellow men and women throughout the world who live and die in poverty and hunger. Give them through our hands this day their daily bread, and by our understanding love, give peace and joy.
Amen
