Happy Labor Day from all of us at STM
Good and Gracious God,
You created human beings in Your image and likeness and gave us dominion over creation to be stewards of the land and co-creators of Your Kingdom. Jesus, You became one of us and labored as a carpenter. You ask all people -- whatever our state of life -- to follow you faithfully. Holy Spirit, bless all workers this Labor Day. May all our actions be animated by Your love, as we do all things for the glory of God.
Amen.

SPECIAL COLLECTION
FOR THE HOLY LAND
September 12/13 Weekend
Pope Francis announced at the Vatican on April 2 that he postponed the traditional Good Friday collection for the Holy Land to September. The Vatican said that the date of the collection, which takes place on the eve of the feast of the Exaltation of the Cross, “will be a sign of rediscovered hope and of salvation after the Passion that many people now participate in, as well as solidarity with those who continue to live the Gospel of Jesus in the land where ‘it all began.’” Therefore, St. Thomas More will hold a special collection for the worldwide Holy Land Collection on Saturday, September 12, and Sunday, September 13. Please prayerfully consider your donation, which may be placed in the offertory baskets at the back of church or go to https://stthomasmorechurch.churchgiving.com/ws/opportunities/HolyLand-GoodFriday to give online through WeShare.
