The Holy Eucharist, 10:00 a.m.

Joy, peace and contentment do not rise and fall with circumstances, Paul tells the Philippians, but flow from an abiding relationship with Christ who strengthens us. Philippians 4 offers three practices for receiving God's peace: bringing worries to him with prayer and thanksgiving, setting our minds on whatever is good and praiseworthy, and drawing encouragement from fellow believers when hardship cannot be avoided.
