Prayer of the Day

Our Classic and Modern services will be using the prayer of the day as provided by Sundays and Seasons.

Almighty Creator and ever-living God: we worship your glory, eternal Three-in-One, and we praise your power, majestic One-in-Three. Keep us steadfast in this faith, defend us in all adversity, and bring us at last into your presence, where you live in endless joy and love, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Amen.

Prayers of the Church (used at our Classic service)

Ascension will be using prayers provided by Sundays and Seasons, lightly adapted for use in our context.

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

A brief silence

Abiding God, your love pours into your whole church, creating faith and bestowing hope. Fill all the baptized with these good gifts in our various callings. Gather your church in every place and expression into the unity of your Spirit. God of grace,
receive our prayer.

Creating God, your name is majestic in all the earth, and we are filled with awe at your creation. Renew this planet and all its wonders: springs abounding with water, earth and soil, beasts of the field, birds of the air, and fish of the sea. God of grace,
receive our prayer.

Living God, your glory appears in our shared life. On this Father’s Day, give to all fathers and father figures gentle hearts and strong spirits, heal the wounds in our families, and comfort those for whom this day brings pain. God of grace,
receive our prayer.

Compassionate God, your mindful care for us is everlasting. Give peace to all who are troubled, endurance to all who suffer, deliverance to all who are afflicted, and healing to all who are sick. We pray especially for **insert name here** who is receiving hospice care. We also pray today for the family and friends of **insert name here** who died last week. For what and for whom else do the people of God pray?
God of grace,
receive our prayer.

Eternal God, your hope does not disappoint. 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,
receive our prayer.

Gather all our prayers in your mercy, O God, through Jesus Christ, our Savior.
Amen.

These prayers are influenced by the Prayers of the Church above.

Surrounded by the Trinity, we join in prayer for the church, the world, and all God’s creation.

Abiding God, your love flows through your whole church, sowing faith and growing hope.  Fill all your people with your gifts and encourage us to use those gifts to grow and serve all expressions of your church.

God of wonder, how majestic is your name in all the earth!  We experience that majesty through our interactions with all that you have created.  Restore and renew our planet:  beasts of the earth, bird in the sky, fish in the sea, plants and trees and all living things.
