We entrust into your unfailing care, Merciful God...
Those for whom our prayers have been requested: Will, Scott, Carol, Bertha Simpkins, Jeff, Tom, Bob Potter, Sr., Joyce Crofton, John, Hank Couch, Ned Atwater, Paula Zanhizer, Amelia Smith, Ella Richard-Dyson, Dean Arvan, and Bill Dewart.
Our nation and the world: the President, Congress, and Supreme Court; our Governor, Mayor, and the leaders of the communities from which we come; members of our military at home and abroad; for all those elected or appointed to positions of public trust, and, for peace throughout our world.
The Church throughout the world, especially for Sean Rowe, the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church; Kara Wagner Sherer, Bishop of Rochester; for the clergy and staff of St. Paul's and for our partners in ministry.
With thanksgiving: our health care professionals, first responders, essential workers, and farmworkers.
Those who have died, especially those whom we love but see no longer.
Almighty and eternal God, ruler of all things in heaven and earth: Mercifully accept the prayers of your people, and strengthen us to do your will; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
