For the Church, especially for Sean our Presiding Bishop, Audrey and Kevin our bishops, Joseph our priest, Charles pastor of St. Paul’s, Rev. Lisa of Christ Memorial Church, Chris and Barb our deacons, that we may give testimony to Christ's mission of bringing hope and healing to those in need.
For this Parish Family, the people of St. Paul’s Lutheran, and the people of our sibling parish, Christ Memorial Church, that the good news of the Risen and Ascended Christ may bring forth a new flowering of peace and hope in our lives.
For peace: that God will inspire the leaders of nations with courage and new ideas to end warfare in the Middle East and Ukraine, open new avenues for negotiations, and bring forth new paths that promote safety and justice for all.
For a new outpouring of the Spirit on the Christian community, that God will heal the wounds in the Body of Christ, free us from fear, and unite us in mission and worship.
For all who are waiting: the birth of a child, the renewal of health, or the return of a job or loved one, that they may experience God with them in this time and draw strength from the prayers and concerns of others.
For those in need of our prayers, remembering especially Mark, Charlene, Frank, Judy, Teri, Joe, Michael, Pete, Sue, Scott, Tom, Peter, Ian, Tim, Gloria, Paulette, Barbara, Michelle, Lucille, Sylvia, Doug, Bridget, Eli, George, Suzanne, Melvin, Johanna, Josh, Joanne, Billy, Jason, Ted, and those who you would like to remember at this time, that they may cast all their care on Christ who cares for them.
For those who have died, that they share in the eternal glory of Christ forever.
Lifting our voices with all creation, with Mary the God-bearer, and all the saints who have borne witness to the Risen Christ, let us offer ourselves and one another to the living God through Christ.
Faithful God, because of your Son's great love for us, we stand redeemed as your holy people; hear our prayers and help us to embrace the name of Jesus that we may glorify you in the world and bear witness to the Risen and Ascended Christ. Glory to the holy and undivided Trinity, one God, now and forever. Amen.
