THANKSGIVING PRAYER
Thank you for the donation of the car and raffle funds it produced. As a parish, serving the religious community of Transfiguration, we continuously practice conservative spending policies, trusting and having dependence on God that He will provide in times of need. The raffle funds is God’s loving providence showered upon us. We are eternally grateful for the funds produced from the car. We thank all that have contributed. It is greatly appreciated. Thank you. A special blessing upon all those who contributed to the raffle, whether it was one ticket or many you bought. Bit by bit, all collectively, helped fortify Transfiguration pleasing to our God, and satisfactory to founding fathers ideals. Bless the funds so that they will be used wisely and prudently, to spread the gospel to the outreaches of the parish and its members, to strengthen its structure, and preserve the sanctity of this holy church as hoped by our founding fathers.
