May 2026 Prayer Circle

God of wonders beyond our galaxy,

You are holy and mighty, your people you deliver. Your grace and forgiveness cover and shelter us. We call to you in praise. We call to you seeking forgiveness. We call to you to respond to our heartfelt prayers. We continue to express our deep need for leadership, for pastors to serve our beloved congregations, for you to bring the right people to join us in the vibrant ministries of the congregations in our presbytery. We would like all our pastor nominating committees to have found and named called pastors before September 2026. We would like our nominating committees to hear joyful responses to their calls to join in leadership of all their committees. We want all our congregations to thrive in the light of your love and generosity. As always, we lay our hearts before you in submission and service. Amen.
