Search Committee Prayer


Our Search Committee continues their work of discernment as they consider applications for our Rector Search, please lift them up in prayer and intercede on their behalf with the following prayer:

Merciful God, be with us and guide us; open our minds and teach us; open our hearts and surround us with your love that we may feel your presence in all our works. Imbue us with wisdom and awareness of your vision as we seek a new rector and spiritual leader. Grant us an adventurous spirit, willing to attempt new tasks and face new ways, ever mindful of the need to listen more to your still, small voice than to our own fancies and desires. Grant continued grace and commitment to those who have been called to serve as members of the Search Committee, that they may become faithful companions to each other, to the Vestry and to this Parish. We ask all this through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Fr om The Episcopal Diocese of Western Massachusetts

SUNDAY SCHOOL THIS WEEK
Abraham and His Adventures with God
Abraham is called by God to a new land, which God promises to him and his descendants. God also promises Abraham that he will have descendants that will number as many as the stars in the sky.

Although Abraham and Sarah are very old, Sarah gives birth to a boy, whom they name Isaac. When Isaac is still a boy, God tests Abraham’s trust in God by asking Abraham to sacrifice Isaac. God finds Abraham’s faith to be firm and renews the promise made to Abraham.
