This Sunday, the Fifth after Trinity we are celebrating Sea Sunday, remembering all the people who risk their lives going down to the sea in ships, and their families waiting on the shore.  

Portbury Dock houses a Missions to Seafarers Chaplaincy so Sea Sunday has a special place in oiur hearts, Our service of Holy Communion takes place at 10.30 am and is followed by light refreshments in the church room.

Our readings this Sunday are Psalms 107 verses 23-31 Other went out to sea in ships......

Luke 8 verses 22-25 Jesus calms a storm

Heavenly Father: we pray to You for those on the perilous ocean that You will embrace them with your mighty protection and grant them success in all their rightful undertakings.

Grant them in all hours of need to see that they have a God who remembers them, and grant them grace in the hour of danger to commit their souls into Your hands.

O Lord Jesus Christ, who can rebuke the storm and bring it to silence, and lay the roaring waves to rest, show them who call to You out of the deep that You hear their prayer and will save them.

And finally bring us all to the only safe port. 

Amen.
