O God, forasmuch as without thee we are not able to please thee, mercifully grant that thy Holy Spirit may in all things direct and rule our hearts; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with thee and the same Spirit liveth and reigneth, one God, now and for ever. Amen. (Proper 19)

Tickets are on sale now for a parish-wide event on Saturday October 5th, 6-8pm. Please plan to join this Bicentennial Closing Celebration in Bonnell Hall at Fifth Avenue Presbyterian. We’ll have cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and live music as we toast the end of this 200^th jubilee and look ahead to the coming year!

While the event is open to all, space is limited so please purchase tickets today!

We invite those of you watching this service online to invite Jesus into your hearts during Holy Communion by making an Act of Spiritual Communion.

My Jesus,
I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love you above all things,
and I desire to receive you into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment
receive you sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace you as if you were already there and unite myself wholly to you.
Never permit me to be separated from you.
Amen.
