Take a respite from the world for a morning of quiet contemplation, with selected sayings from Julian of Norwich’s Long Text of the Revelations of Divine Love in contrast to its fourteenth century context.
Saturday, October 26th, 9:00AM-12:00PM with Bonnie Bivins in Trinity Church’s Thomas Room next to Pierce Hall.
Archbishop Desmond Tutu was known for his work as an anti-apartheid and human rights activist. His social and political perspectives and his theological efforts to bring eleven ethnic cultures into one communion are integrated into his thoughts in each section on the Anglican Order of Worship, as captured in the Rev. Michael Battle’s book Reconciliation. Join Bonnie Bivins in the continued discussion of how this understanding relates to our worship of the Holy Eucharist.
We will meet in the Flemer Library on Sunday at 9:30 AM.
October 26th, 7:30pm, Richardson Auditorium
The astonishing sound of the Ndlovu Youth Choir first enchanted the world five years ago during the choir's successful run on America’s Got Talent. Now we are fortunate enough to be able to see them in person, right here on the stage of Richardson Auditorium. Don’t miss the chance to watch South Africa’s finest young performers, supported by, and performing with, the Princeton University Glee Club!

Litany in Response to a Natural Disaster
(Modified)
Holy God, Creator of heaven and earth,
Have mercy upon us.
Holy and Mighty, redeemer of the world,
Have mercy upon us.
Holy Immortal One, Sanctifier of the faithful,
Have mercy upon us.
Holy, blessed, and glorious Trinity, One God
Have mercy upon us.
For all those affected by the devastation of Hurricanes Milton and Helene
O Christ, hear us.
For all who suffer from injury and illness, emotional and spiritual distress. Give them hope and encouragement to meet the days ahead.
O Christ, hear us.
Console all who grieve: those whose loved ones have died, whose families are torn; whose homes have been destroyed, whose possessions have been ruined.
O Christ, hear us.
In the midst of incomprehensible loss, grant us eyes that see, ears that hear and hands that work so that we may discern how you would have us respond.
O Christ, hear us.
For all churches, agencies, and individuals who assist in relief efforts; continue in them the good work you have begun, through them your presence is made known.
O Christ, hear us.
Grant your people grace to witness to your word, to open their hearts in love, and to give generously from their abundance, that they may bring forth the fruits of your Spirit.
O Christ, hear us.
You are our refuge and strength,
our very present help in trouble.
In you, Lord, is our Hope
And we shall never hope in vain.
Glory to God whose power, working in us, can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine. Glory to God from generation to generation in the Church, and in Christ Jesus for ever. Amen.
