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.

Grace, Yorktown
Lord God, maker of heaven and earth, we pray that you would make us a brightly shining beacon of your love and care. Guide and direct both our hearts and hands to celebrate what is whole and heal what remains broken, through Jesus Christ who with you and the Holy spirit lives and reigns, now and for ever. Amen.

Ascension, Norfolk
Heavenly Father, we give thanks and praise for your presence in our lives at Ascension. May you continue to guide and bless us. We ask these things in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
