Prayers for those who travel
The 141st Convention of the Diocese of Western Michigan will open on Friday, November 6th and conclude Saturday afternoon November 7th. Delegates, clergy and guests from all over the diocese will come together to do the business of the diocese. In addition, 27 people will be confirmed or received Saturday morning at the convention Eucharist. We offer this prayer for travellers:
Oh God, our creator, whose glory fills the whole creation, and whose presence we find wherever we go: Preserve those who travel, in particular the delegates, alternates and clergy at the EDWM convention, as well as those being confirmed and received, and their family and friends. Surround them with your loving care, protect them from every danger; and bring them in safety to their journey's end; through Christ our Lord. AMEN.
