Prayer of the Slate Valley Regional Ministry

Abba,

Thank you for the wondrous love you have for us.

By your grace, you have brought us together in this Regional Ministry.

Creator,

We are made in your image, to serve, to walk hand-in-hand with Jesus our Brother, to journey in your Spirit wherever You lead.

Lover and Redeemer of our souls, break apart the boundaries that constrain us. As you draw our hearts closer to You, we burst forth, joyfully empowered to do your will in all the world.

Holy Comforter, Indwell us, open us to your vision, overflow our hearts with your discerning Power.

Jesus, thank you for your gifts that you shower upon us, known and unknown, past, present, and future. We pray that we will always be present at your table, Lord. Equip us there with courage, strength, laughter, honesty, grace and Love-Food enough to feed your hungry world!

Amen

Note: We incorporate this prayer, written recently by a group of the Slate Valley Regional Ministry InterParish Council delegates, into the Prayers of the People in all parishes at all services.
