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.
Galilee, Virginia Beach
Heavenly Father,
we thank you for your love and redemption experienced in and through
Galilee Church in 2014. In the coming year we ask you to lead, shield
and anoint this congregation to take joy in every task that you set
before them, and to live more deeply into the mission of renewal into
which you have guided them. This we ask in the name of your Son Jesus
Christ, who with and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, now and
for ever. Amen.
St. James', Portsmouth, and St. Mark's, Suffolk
Almighty God we
thank you for knitting together the congregations of Saint James,
Portsmouth and Saint Mark's, Suffolk as they tread the path of Shared
Ministry in thy church; grant that thy Holy Spirit will guide and
strengthen the parishioners of both congregations, through the same thy
Son Jesus Christ, who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the
Holy Spirit one God now and for ever. Amen.
