Prayers for our Nation and the World

In a time of increasing conflict, violence and concern, we ask you to pray for our nation and world. There are an abundance of prayers in the Book of Common Prayer, beginning on page 814. Today, we offer a prayer for peace:

Eternal God, in whose perfect kingdom no sword is drawn but the sword of righteousness, no strength known but the strength of love: So mightily spread abroad your Spirit, that all peoples may be gathered under the banner of the Prince of Peace, as children of one Father; to whom be dominion and glory, now and for ever. Amen. (BCP p 815)

Prayer List

To add a name to the prayer list, please email Janet (click here to email ) and write "Prayer List" in the subject line. Names will remain on the list for 30 days unless and, upon request, can be extended. Names should be added by Wednesday to be included in the next Sunday's bulletin.

News from the Diocese

A Screening and Discernment Update from the Bishop Search Committee

The selection of a new Bishop involves a process of mutual discernment for both the Diocese and those who feel called to serve as our 9th Bishop. At this stage, applications have been submitted, and the applicants' files are now complete. In the coming weeks, the Search Committee will enter a quiet period, dedicating time to prayerfully review the submitted files. We will also be conducting interviews with the candidates through various screening methods, including Zoom discussions and reference interviews. During this important phase of the screening and discernment process, we kindly ask for your continuous prayers.
