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. Christopher's, Portsmouth
Loving and
compassionate God, Bless our Outreach to the hungry and homeless and
help us to increase our compassion as we endeavor to follow you. We ask
this in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen
Redeemer, Midlothian
Dear Heavenly
Father, we ask for guidance during the coming months. Help us to
remember that, though our transition process may be difficult at times,
as we gather in discussion and discernment, you are in our midst. Help
us also to understand that we do this, not to better ourselves, but to
continue the command to proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the
Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
