Most Holy God, in the light of this year of so many challenges and disappointments, fear and delayed hopes, we see the promise of your restoration of all things. As we earnestly pray for this restoration for ourselves and for all people, we are hopeful and thankful for your grace and love. Holy Lord, hear our prayer .

We pray for our church family and for our parish. Help us as prepare our commitment to our church and parish life for 2021. Let it reflect a renewal of faith and hope for all in our community. We ask your continuing blessings on our presiding bishop Michael Curry, our bishop Robert Wright, our retired bishop Neil Alexander, and our priests Scott and Sue. Bless the Nonnemakers at Virginia Theological Seminary. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.

We pray for our president Donald, for the leaders of the nations, and for all in authority, that they may compassionately work for justice and peace. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.

We pray your protection over all members of our armed services wherever they are serving. Meet them in their fears and in their loneliness. Renew their faith and hope in times of doubt. Pray for Jamie Davey, Jordan Davey, Brett Turner, Jennifer Parrish, Bart Ziccardi, Robert Rish, Kayla Ziccardi, Frank Caruccio, Joseph Lorenz, Wayne Lovell, Jessica Stephens, Mitchell Stephens, Brandon Richards, Drew Camp and Jason Gregoryk. Guide, guard and protect all law enforcement and first responders, especially Don Scalia. Please cover all health care workers with your blessings of protection and strength as they work to save lives, including Dr. William Koeppel, Marika Csatary, JM Kidd, Chloe Gedney, Jackie Hayes, Dr. Barbara Camp, Roxanne Hall, Susie Murray, Susan Smith and Candler Kimsey. Let our prayers, thanks and love encourage them as they face the dangers and the uncertainty of this pandemic. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.

Help us now to begin the hard work of healing in our land. Awaken in us a real sense of urgency in restoring the environment and improving the lives and futures of all people. Help us to examine our shared hopes and dreams as we continue to pray for all victims and casualties of our modern life. Open our hearts, minds, hands and mouths to speak and act for justice. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.

Covid has taken over 250,000 lives and sickened over a million people in America. Help us help ourselves by taking steps to protect ourselves and our neighbors.

Pray for those with long-term needs, including Carol Prescott, Helen Schlaefflin, Kelly Smith, Lloyd Mills, Gil Pollit, Jennifer Smith, Kevin LaForce, Dennis Bergin, David Wilkins, Ron Phillips and Chrissy Greer. Pray for family & friends of our parish, including Jackie, Luci, Billy, Gordon Weatherby, Scott Casavant, Emily and Sheila. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.

We pray for mothers that await the birth of their children. We pray for newborns, infants and children of all ages. Protect them from every danger and sickness. Restore all children separated from their families. We thank you for the birth of Leighton James Kogel to Hannah and Tanner. In this time, shield all children with safety, love and peace. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.

Comfort all who mourn for loved ones lost to sickness, accidents and injustice. We lift to you the lives taken by this pandemic. As we recognize our own fragility, help us to realize and celebrate the sacredness of every life. Pray for the Jim Gregoryk family on the death of his mother, Metka Hansen. Pray for all who mourn. Holy Lord, hear our prayer .

We are joyful and thankful for these among us celebrating birthdays, including Shelby Scalia, Marty Scalia, Howard Ebert, Perry Prescott and Roy Brogdon, and those celebrating anniversaries, including Will and Barbara Overton. Bless their accomplishments and their plans. Give them joy as they celebrate these landmarks in their lives. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
