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 this evening to our heavenly Father:
1. For a spirit of welcome and hospitality in the 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 see Christ in all whom they meet.
4. For those who have been affected by natural disasters: we pray especially for those affected by the flooding here in the Jackson area.
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.
