Prayers for another day . . .

. . . of praying at 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. As we pray today for the mission and ministry of our church, I invite you to think about what this church community means to you. I invite you to think, too, of what it is that you long for in connection with God and in our church.

At 7:00 a.m. - Give thanks to God for St. Paul's and for the blessings you have received in this parish community.

At 7:00 p.m. - Offer to God your longings for what you need in church and for what the church could be. And pray this prayer:
Gracious Father, we pray for thy holy Church. - for St. Paul's and for the Church throughout the world. Fit it with all truth, in all truth with all peace. Where it is corrupt, purify it; where it is in error, direct it; where in any thing it is amiss, reform it. Where it is right, strengthen it; where it is in want, provide for it; where it is divided, reunite it; for the sake of Jesus Christ your Son our Saviour. Amen.

Faithfully yours,
Janet+
