Prayers

   God of the journey you call us and send us out to proclaim your word and to share the joy of knowing you.  Be with us and open us so that we may see that even in other expressions of faith you can be found. That you are a God of many and yet one God.  Help us to live out our mission to be a safe place a spiritual home, and empowering place a place where one can find rest for the soul.

In the complicated world it is hard to find rest for the soul. For all those that struggle each day, who long for a home to live with out fear, who long for food security. Who long to know health and wellbeing, be a presence of hope to them.  They are people we will never meet. There are those in our lives you have called us to journey with. For those in our lives we pray that your presence rest upon them. 

We pray for ourselves on this journey with you. Deepen our spiritual self and open us to the movement of your Spirit. Hear our own prayers spoken in the silence of our hearts.   God we know that you will always walk with us and that your hand guides us on the journey. We know that you hear our prayers as we offer you the prayer that binds us as one saying Our Father….
