The Prayers of the People:
Leader: O God of sympathy and tenderness, who surrounded Job when he was despondent and sent Jesus to bind the wounds of the afflicted, we give you thanks that you nurse us to wholeness when we are distressed and forlorn. We give you thanks that even when despair so easily overtakes us, you send your Spirit to comfort our fears. Lord, in your mercy…
People: Hear our prayer.
Leader: Hear us as we pray for those who are confined by illness. Help them to sense your healing presence, which brings peace of mind. Give to them the patience, which allows their bodies to draw upon those sources of regeneration so necessary to health and vigour. Grant them peace. Lord, in your mercy…
People: Hear our prayer
Leader: Hear us as we pray for those who cannot live in peace, help them and help us to be compassionate and understanding and ready to listen to all sides of the story. Help us to seek your will in the world, our families our communities. Lord, in your mercy…
People: Hear our prayer
Leader: Hear us as we pray for those in the world who go hungry, for those who do not have anyone to love them, for those whose lives have no hope. Help us to help them find new hope. Lord, in your mercy…
People: Hear our prayer
Leader: Strengthen within us the resolve to be faithful. Give us the needed discipline to let go of old forms of security and to risk putting our trust in your will. As we take our first few halting steps of faith, encourage us with the vision of your reign on earth. Lift us from a sense of defeat when we stumble and fall. Lord, in your mercy…
People: Hear our prayer.
Leader: In our Diocese, we pray today for St. Alban the Martyr, Mattawa, St. Margaret of Scotland, Rutherglen, and for the members of the Financial Affairs Committee and its subcommittees. In our Companion Diocese of Jerusalem we pray for Al Ahli Hospital, Gaza. As we move forward in our GIFT campaign, we pray O God that we remember that it is from you that every gift derives. You taught us that to serve you is to serve others. We ask that you continue to bless and sanctify the Growing in Faith Together campaign as an act of our faithfulness to you and that you will lead us to continue growing in faith together. For the needs of the whole Church that we name silently or aloud (silence). For John our Bishop, for all bishops, for Andrea our Priest, for all the clergy and people. We pray all this in Jesus’ name. Lord, in your mercy…
People: Hear our prayer. Amen.

Some Frequently Asked Questions
About Trinity’s GIFT Appeal
Why five-year pledges, not one-time donations? Pledges provide us with the opportunity to make a more significant gift to the mission of the Church. It is easier to make a significant contribution, over and above regular offerings, by making a pledge to be fulfilled during a period of time rather than all at once. Our pledges are not legally binding but rather a statement of intention.
When will the parish begin to receive funds?
As donations are made, the 50% parish share will be paid out monthly by the GIFT campaign office.
“As a form of ministry, fundraising is as spiritual as giving a sermon, entering a time of prayer, visiting the sick or feeding the hungry.”
-Rev. Henri Nouwen, Dutch-Canadian priest and author
