Powerful and loving God, guide Your Church to follow Your ways. In the Anglican Communion we pray for The Church of South India (United); and in our diocese we pray for St. James, Kent; St. George, Maple Valley; and St. Luke’s, Renton. Bless our presiding Bishop Michael; our Bishops Melissa and Brian; our priest Joseph; and for the congregation of All Saints Goshen who share our building in worship.
God, give us grace. To answer Your call.
Glorious God, guide everyone with worldly power, that they may repent of evil and turn to good. Together let us seek justice, rescue the oppressed, defend the disenfranchised, and plead for the powerless. Let us not deny humanity along partisan lines, nor keep silent in the face of injustice.
God, give us grace. To answer Your call.
Savior of the nations, shield our world from the calamities of war, genocide, and climate crisis. Bring about healing and peace for the glory of Your marvelous works.
