There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male or female; for all of us are one in Christ Jesus. Let us pray as one body, saying, “We put our trust in you, O God; hear us; answer us; and send us forth.”

Send out your light and your truth that they may lead your people into the joy and gladness we experience at your altar. Send us out to shine our light and share our joy.

Silence

We put our trust in you, O God;

Hear us; answer us; and send us forth.

God our strength, remember those who feel forgotten, be the salvation for those who are being oppressed. Defend the cause of the innocent. Deliver the world from wickedness.

Silence

We put our trust in you, O God;

Hear us; answer us; and send us forth.

You, O Lord, grant your loving-kindness in the daytime, the night is filled with your songs: we thank you for blessing your creation with your presence in all times and all seasons.

Silence.We put our trust in you, O God;

Hear us; answer us; and send us forth.

Lord Jesus, break the chains of those held in bondage. Restore those forgotten by society. May all prisoners and captives, by the power of your love and mercy, have their dignity renewed.

Silence

We put our trust in you, O God;

Hear us; answer us; and send us forth.

We pray for those weighed down by heavy souls. We pray for those who feel like they are in over their heads; for the disquieted and for the ill. We name them now, either silently or aloud (pause)… And we pray for those on our parish prayer list… Beth… Lynn… Skipper… Roshni… Julia… Chris & Laura… Lynn… Sara… Sherwood & Laura… Margaret… Angie… Sharon… Louise & Robert… Effie, Stephen & Calder… David… Jan… Brianna… Rick… Tamara… And for those for whom no one prays, may they find healing and comfort.

Silence

We put our trust in you, O God;

Hear us; answer us; and send us forth.

O God, in Christ Jesus you have made us your children. We pray for the dying and the dead. Bring them into your heavenly dwelling where they may be at home with you forever.

Silence

We put our trust in you, O God;

Hear us; answer us; and send us forth.

Let us pray for those celebrating Birthdays this week.
O God, our times are in your hand: Look with favor, we pray, on your servants [insert names here] as they begin another year. Grant that they may grow in wisdom and grace, and strengthen their trust in your goodness all the days of their lives; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Let us pray for those celebrating anniversaries this week.
Grant, O God, in your compassion, that Steve Diepenbrock & Mimi Anderson (6/22), Stewart & Barb Mehlman (6/24), George & Karen Eberle (6/28), and Clark & Joanne Cundy (6/29), who have taken each other in marriage, may grow in forgiveness, loyalty, and love; and come at last to the eternal joys which you have promised through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
