Go and Bear Fruit That Will Last . . . A Prayer for a Parish

Gracious God, hear the prayers that we present to you this day...

For our parish community, that we may be a vibrant people of faith, we pray...

For all of our ministries and organizations, that we may find creative ways to announce

the Good News of Jesus to all, we pray...

For the power of the Holy Spirit burning in us, that we may love one another and live as true disciples, we pray...

For our efforts at renewal, that we may have new life and energy as we serve the Lord and each other, we pray...

Loving God, be with us in our conversations and planning, so that we may be creative in helping others come to know you deeply in their hearts and express your compassion in their actions. Amen.
