As part of our
liturgy at Annual Council 2015, each delegation wrote a prayer for their
parish. We are sharing these prayers each week in the eNews so that we
all can support one another in the upcoming year.
St. Paul & St. Andrew, Kenbridge
Dear, Gracious
Father, we pray for your Church and especially the Episcopal Church of
St. Paul and St. Andrew in Kenbridge. Inspire our witness to your Son
Jesus Christ that we may see and respond to the needs in our community
and in the world. Give us grace in loving our neighbors and strength to
better understand and accept our individual differences. Heal those who
are in need in mind, body and spirit and give us the ability to care for
them. Grant us the perseverance to know and to follow your will.
Prosper our efforts to share the Good News with all whom we meet that we
may be the examples of your love and forgiveness through Jesus Christ
our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God,
now and for ever. Amen.
Good Shepherd, Norfolk
Almighty God, we
ask you to grant us the will to follow your will, the desire to reach
beyond the walls of our church to those in need or want, the heart to
work for justice in our city and the world, and the ability to know your
Son, Jesus Christ, and make him known in joy, faith, and service.
Through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit
lives and reigns, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.
