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, Norfolk
God
our Father, we pray for your forgiveness and we pray for hope, courage
and strength to stand for social justice. We ask for your blessings for
continued growth of our church, we pray for the healing of divided
communities that, with your blessings, we may be one. Heavenly Father,
to you we submit our prayers. Through Christ our Lord, Amen.
Galilee, Virginia Beach
Heavenly
Father, we thank you for your love and redemption experienced in and
through Galilee Church. We ask you, Lord, to lead, shield and anoint us
to take joy in every task you set before us and to live more deeply into
our mission and renewal. Amen.
