We pray to you, O God, for the holy catholic church throughout the world, sharing the death and resurrection of Christ. We pray for the Anglican Church of Chile; and for the faith community of St. Stephen’s, Oak Harbor. We pray also for the congregation of All Saints Goshen, who worships in our building.
For Sean, our presiding bishop; for Phil, our bishop, for Joseph, our priest; for presbyters and deacons and all who minister in Christ; and for all the holy people of God.
For our catechumens and their sponsors.
For all the peoples of the earth and for mercy, justice, and peace.
For the sick and the suffering, and for all who are in danger or need. For those who struggle with addiction and recovery, especially those who meet in our building. We ask your blessings for those who have commended themselves to our prayers: Ralph; Maria; Jen; Holly & Nate; Bill; Jeff; Alex; Vicky; Kathy; Emilio; Ian; Barbara; Christine; Sue; Denice; Jim; Richard; Suzanne; Karen; Nancy; Sandy; Emily; Helen; Verne; Tim; and those we now name, either silently or aloud.
For the dying and the dead. We remember especially the newborn Rune River; and those we now name, either silently or aloud.
For our families, friends, and companions, and for all those we love, especially those celebrating birthdays and anniversaries, including Chelsea; Elliott; and those we now name, either silently or aloud.
Remembering the blessed Virgin Mary; Hilda; Patrick; and all the saints, we offer ourselves and one another to you, our living God, through Christ.
Amen.
