Almighty God, you have given your church the ministry of reconciliation. Grant that all who have been reborn into the fellowship of Christ’s Body may show forth in their lives what they profess by their faith. Bless our presiding bishop, Sean; our bishop, Phil; and our vicar, Joseph. We pray for the Church of the Province of the Indian Ocean; and for the faith communities of Christ Church, Anacortes; and St. Paul, Bellingham. We pray also for the congregation of All Saints Goshen who worships in our building.
You are our God, and we thank you.
Ruler of the kings of earth, Lord Jesus, your word is a word of peace. Speak forth salvation in a weary world.
You are our God, and we thank you.
All you do, O God, is marvelous in our eyes. Give us a respect for all you have made. We lift up our gratitude for the blessings of this life, including those we now name, either silently or aloud.
You are our God, and we thank you.
