Holy Love of All,  Creator of All that is and shall be,

We pray for those around the world who devote themselves to your love and compassion,. Bless all who teach, lead and inspire us in church and in our daily life. 

Holy Lord, You are the way to mercy, compassion and forgiveness.

We thank you for Reverend Rilla Barrett  presiding at Emmanuel with us today.  We pray for Fr. Berto and Fr. Hugh as they travel on a well deserved vacation.

Holy Lord, You are the way to mercy, compassion and forgiveness.

Holy Love of All, Bless our Children, Families, Teachers and Administrators this new school year, as they transition from summer sunshine to school studies.  Keep them in kindness with each other, and connection with nature around them,

Hold them and protect them in your love dear Lord.

Holy Lord of All,  We are grateful for you in the beauty of each day. Let us pause for the seagulls and herons fishing the shoreline, the Kingfishers chattering through the trees, Eagles sailing wide over Crow Valley, and the cloudscapes painted in abstract beauty lighting at sunset.  

Keep us in awe and involved in Nature as your church. 

Holy Love of All, We are all in transition. Bless us in sharing your love to the world, Bless those struggling for food, shelter and safety, those living in fear and danger of war, and for the victims of floods, storms and earthquakes.

We are grateful and pray for those who move quickly to rescue and restore lives. 

Holy Love of All, You are everywhere. You are the common goodness we praise. Bless those we hold in our hearts, those in pain, illness, and recovery and those on our Parish Prayer list …Heather… Cheryl… Ian… Dick… Renee… Nick… Sara… David… Pam… Laura and Dart… Skipper… Cynthia & Bruce… Wes & Carol… Diane… Chris… Lynn… Margaret… Maria… Ali… Debbie… Carol… John… Lalo…Lynn… Mandy & Lara…Luanne…Christina…Joyce…Sally…John…Sparks…Paula & Ken…Doug…

We are one in your love. 

Bless those who have passed from our sight. We know they are free in the peace of your love, and a blessing for us to carry in our hearts.

May we see a beautiful world that is bright, light and hopeful in peace for all.
