Good morning beloved in Christ !
As we step across the threshold of this new month, September, the beginning of the ember months, we give thanks to God for bringing us safely through the summer days and for the promise of new mercies that greet us this morning. His faithfulness is great, His compassions are new every sunrise.
I lift up to God each soul in our parish,those I know by name and those known only to God.
May the Lord Renew your strength like the eagles. May the cool winds of this season bring refreshment to you and peace to your minds.
As the school year resumes and routines shift, may the Lord go before you to be your refuge and fortress.
May the Lord multiply your laughter. May they be a source of encouragement to others.
May the Lord bless the work of your hands this month. Whether in classrooms, offices, homes, or fields, may your labor be an offering to God.
May the Lord protect your families,unite you in love, heal what is broken among us and be a hedge of protection around us.
We entrust this month to the Lord and declare that this September will be a month of favor, of growth, and of deeper intimacy with the Lord.
May the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you.
May the Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace this month and always.
Happy new month !
Very Rev. Fr. Francis Ike
