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. James', Cartersville
Almighty God,
Creator and Sustainer of all that is, we give you thanks for life and
health and most especially for the community of St. James' in
Cartersville. We ask that you keep us aware of the pain of humankind:
poverty, illness and especially racial and religious divides which
result in violence toward our brothers and sisters in the world. We ask
that you strengthen our resolve and empower us to do whatever we are
able to bring about healing, both at home and in the world; through
Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of
the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
Glebe, Suffolk
Almighty God, you order
all things in Creation, provide your people a plentiful harvest of good
will, that being in love and charity with all our neighbors we may
boldly proclaim your name as we seek justice and peace where there is
strife and rancor, and guide us to become a beacon of hope for those who
are lost in our world. All this we ask for the sake of our Lord and
Savior, Jesus Christ, who reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God,
now and for ever. Amen.
