Written By Opawa-St Martins Parish

Collect

Creator God,

you flung the stars into space

and your majesty is revealed in their beauty.

Give us thankful hearts for your gifts in creation

and for one another, as we celebrate the hope

of the new

and mourn the passing of the old,

through Jesus Christ our Lord,

Amen.
