through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
(or)
Almighty God and Father,
you have so ordered our life
that we are dependent on one another:
prosper those engaged in commerce and industry

that they may rightly use your gifts in the service of others;

who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
(or)
God our Father,
you never cease the work you have begun
and prosper with your blessing all human labour:
make us wise and faithful stewards of your gifts
that we may serve the common good,
maintain the fabric of our world
and seek that justice where all may share
the good things you pour upon us;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Post Communion
God our creator,
you give seed for us to sow and bread for us to eat:
as you have blessed the fruit of our labour in this eucharist,
so we ask you to give all your children their daily bread,
that the world may praise you for your goodness;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.

 We currently have vacancies in most sections of the choir. Girl and boy choristers should be aged between eight and eighteen and although advantageous, previous musical experience is not essential as FREE full musical training is given. We ask new choristers to start with a short trial period of just four sessions before making any commitment. This enables us to determine their suitability, but more importantly gives them a chance to see if the choir is for them. Our main rehearsals take place on Friday evenings at 6:15 pm for the Children and 7 pm for the men most weeks of the year.
For further information on joining email tim@trinitybenefice.co.uk
