In Memoriam: Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II (21 April 1926 - 8 September, 2022)

At Trinity on the Green we keep her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in our prayers and in thanksgiving for her steadfastness, her grace, and her faith.

Blessed are you, Lord our God, lover of souls: you uphold us in life and sustain us in death: to you be glory and praise for ever! For the darkness of this age is passing away as Christ the bright and morning star brings to his saints the light of life. As you give light to those in darkness, who walk in the shadow of death, so remember in your kingdom your faithful servant, Elizabeth, that death may be for her the gate to life and to unending fellowship with you; where with your saints you live and reign, one in the perfect union of love, now and for ever. Amen.

Here is the statement of our Presiding Bishop Michael Curry on the death of Queen Elizabeth II:

Today [8th September, 2022] we mourn the passing and celebrate the life and legacy of Queen Elizabeth II. My prayers for peace go out for her, for her loved ones, and for all those who knew and loved her throughout the world.

Her resilience, her dignity, and her model of quiet faith and piety have been—and will continue to be—an example for so many.

May she rest in peace and rise in glory.

The Most Rev. Michael Bruce Curry
