Renew the life of your creation and encourage all who strive to build more sustainable systems for life and thriving.

Bring peace and justice among your people. Where there is oppression or fear, bring liberation and hope. Instill wisdom and humility in local and national leaders. Guide them to serve their communities in the way of Christ.

Console all who suffer. We pray especially for all who are lonely and yearning for community. Assure them of your loving presence. Come alongside all who cry out to you in any need especially those named on our prayer list and in our hearts.God of grace, hear our prayer.
In the bread and cup we share, you show us the way of love poured out for the whole world. Grant safe passage to all who travel this week and bless their time away with loved ones.
