Prayers for June 15, 2025

Drawn into the embrace of the Holy Trinity, we lift our prayers for the wholeness of the church, the world, and all creation.

God of mercy, we come together today to celebrate the enduring presence of the Holy Trinity--Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. As we call upon your divine name, we sing our songs of praise and thanksgiving to you. 

          God of grace, hear our prayer.

God of all creation, you created a world of perfection that is now at risk. We pray for a healthy renewal of our lands, air, and waters for the betterment of all generations.
          God of grace, hear our prayer.

God of peace, people across all nations cry out for an end to wars and conflicts. We seek the day when we can live without fear and violence. Guard those who have fled their homes to seek a better life.

           God of grace, hear our prayer.

God of compassion, we pray for all who are experiencing physical or emotional distress, especially those named on our prayer list and in our hearts. Grant them respite as they are comforted by the skills of their caregivers and loved ones. Lift their spirits with the sure knowledge that you are with them.

           God of grace, hear our prayer.

At a time of pastoral transition, we give thanks for the ministry of Pastor Kessinger. We pray for our congregation as we faithfully and spiritually move forward with an interim pastor. Guide us as we discern our next steps for the mission of our church.

           God of grace, hear our prayer.

Eternal God, we put our trust and hope in you. We give you thanks for all who have died in the hope of the resurrection. Hold us in our grief and bring us at last to fullness of life in you.

           God of grace, hear our prayer.
