Almighty and everlasting God, you have given us your servants grace, by the confession of a true faith, to

acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity and in the power of the divine majesty to worship the Unity: keep

us steadfast in this faith, that we may evermore be defended from all adversities; 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. Amen

Longroyde Road and Calder View

Mayhew, Olive Breen, Ruth Helliwell, Ruth Sandiford, Geoff Hudson, Mrs. Eagan, Roderick & Elsie Barton, Susan Brown,
