April Prayer Circle

Lord of mystery and wonder, 

We rejoice in the blooming of your creation, in the renewal of our spirits and the pervasiveness of your grace. For a year and more, we have called to you of our need for leadership, for Pastors, for CRE's, for Elders, who lead with energy, intelligence, imagination and love, for lay members who shore up our foundation, who shepherd youth, who do good work in our congregations and our communities. We know you are faithful and we continue to call on you to bring us, to lift up, and to uncover the ones you are already calling to us. Continue to guide us as we seek to Thrive in the heart of Missouri. We are yours now and forever. Amen.
