From Bishop Skirving ...
"This morning, I joined the people of Trinity Episcopal Church in Lumberton for worship that included confirmations, receptions and a reaffirmation of baptismal vows. It was good to meet their interim pastor, Carl Rosenberg of the ELCA and to hear from members about the expected impact on Lumberton and Roberson County of the recent federal recognition of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina. A great reception followed worship, with specially made Nanaimo bars for me, and lots of good conversations with members of the congregation.
Many in this congregation have family who are active duty military personnel, including some who are currently serving in the war in Iran. It was clear that people of Trinity are deliberate in caring for one another during this difficult time, and that they are conscious of how deeply their whole county is similarly affected."
"Almighty God, we commend to your gracious care and keeping all the men and women of our armed forces at home and abroad. Defend them day by day with your heavenly grace; strengthen them in their trials and temptations; give them courage to face the perils which beset them; and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."
