Community Prayers
Reader 1: We give you thanks for your servant, Paul, who never allowed misfortune to win the day, and never rested until he had proclaimed your gospel to everyone he met. Give us zeal, energy, and spirit on behalf of Jesus’ mission.
Reader 2: It is easy to second guess the motives of others and assume we know who is genuine. Make us less concerned about the how’s and the why’s of our brothers and sisters in faith, and more concerned that the gospel is proclaimed.
Reader 3: Sometimes it is the wounded among us who make the best agents of your healing. Use all of us—shortcomings and all—to tend your flocks and spread the balm of your wholeness. Be especially with those we name before you now...
WL: We thank you, God, whenever we think of your faithful saints who carried your precious gospel throughout the ages. As their witness has blessed us, so make us a blessing to others, and unite us all in your eternal kingdom. Amen.
