St. Paul's, Norfolk
Dear God, please
guide us as we discern your will during our sabbatical year at St.
Paul's Norfolk. We ask this in your Name, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Good Samaritan, Virginia Beach
God, you have blessed us with the greatest gift possible, your
only beloved Son, we come to you once again with thanksgivings and
requests, not only for ourselves but for others. We pray that during
2015 we may live out the Good Samaritan purpose for which we were named:
To continue to attract, welcome and receive all persons, especially
those with intellectual and physical limitations. We pray that the
Family Life Center, which you have given us, will be completed and
become a resource in our community to enable our neighbors to live in
safety and security, without fear or want. May the Center be a place
that reveals your love in our community. We pray that you will enable us
to carry out our lay ministries, including worship, music and teaching.
We want to care for ourselves and each other so that every person sees
Christ in us and believes all things are possible with your help. We
especially ask that those we meet will see and believe they can accept
your Son as their Savior and live out your plan for their lives. Help us
to continue to proclaim that we are your church and that you, our God,
are working through us. We ask these things through Jesus Christ our
Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now
and for ever. Amen.
