Lord Jesus - you call us to make a commitment to our faith.
Christ Jesus - you encourage us on our journey.
Lord Jesus - you bring us new life.
We present our prayers to our heavenly Father:
1. For a spirit of welcome and hospitality in our Church: that all who join us for worship, community, or service may experience the love of Christ and a warm welcome.
2. For all who have experienced abuse, discrimination, or hatred: that God will heal their pain and renew their spirits
3. For all who work with the poor and homeless: that they may continually see Christ in all whom they meet.
4. For those who have been affected by natural disasters: by Hurricane Ida in Mississippi, Louisiana and the Gulf Coast; by the floods in our country, especially in Tennessee and the Northeast; by drought and wild fires in the West. For recovery and help for those who need assistance.
5. For all world leaders: that they work toward unity and solidarity, recognizing the dignity of all people.
6. For the sick and the shut-in - for those in the hospice, hospital, and nursing home.
7. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed and those prayers we hold in our hearts today.
We present these prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
