O God, rich in mercy, out of your great love you have made us alive together with Christ. You have made us a church family through the waters of baptism. Let us build each other up in love. We pray for your church and all who serve you including, Michael our Presiding Bishop; Melissa and Brian our Bishops; Joseph, our vicar; and the volunteers at St. Hilda St. Patrick. In the Anglican Cycle of prayer, we lift up the The Church of Bangladesh. In our diocese we pray for St. Antony of Egypt, Silverdale; and St. Nicholas, Tahuya.
