God, our creator, we pray for Michael, our presiding bishop; Sean, our presiding bishop-elect; Phil, our bishop; Joseph, our vicar; Mark, our supply priest; for this holy gathering; and for the people of God in every place. Bless the Scottish Episcopal Church; the faith communities of St. Dunstan’s and St. David Emmanuel in Shoreline; and the congregation of All Saints Goshen.
In your mercy, O God, hear our prayer.
For mercy, justice, and peace among all peoples.
In your mercy, O God, hear our prayer.
For good weather, abundant fruits of the earth, and peaceful times.

In your mercy, O God, hear our prayer.
For all those in danger and need: the sick and the suffering, the blind and the lame, those with child and those in labor. We lift up to you those who have commended themselves to our prayers: Cheryl; Luke; Ava; Monica; Tim; Michael; Ellie; Emilio; Ian; Barbara; Christine; Sue; Giles; Denice; Jim; Richard; Suzanne; Karen; Will; Janette; Nancy; Sandy; Emily; and those we now name, either silently or aloud.

For those who rest in Christ and for all the dead. Today we remember Ellie; and those we now name, either silently or aloud.
In your mercy, O God, hear our prayer.
For our deliverance from all affliction, strife, and need.

Lifting our voices with all creation, with Hilda; Patrick; the Blessed Virgin Mary; and all the saints, we offer ourselves and one another to you, our living God, through Christ.
In your mercy, O God, hear our prayer.
Amen.
