Praying for the churches of Southern Virginia

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.

Trinity, South Boston 
Lord God, be with your people in this parish as we seek your guidance in doing your will in our lives, in worship, outreach in our community, in our Diocese, and in our world. Guide us always in your ways. We ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen.  

Christ Church, Smithfield  
O God, we ask your guidance as we seek to find a new priest. Show us how to work in unity with each other as we walk with Christ in our spiritual journey together. We ask your guidance, O God, as we work in our community of Smithfield to spread Christ's love to those hurting in our area. We ask your guidance, O God, as we work in our community to bring others to Christ and become disciples with us. We ask your guidance, O God, to encourage us in our stewardship of time, talent and treasure. Amen.
