O God who is above all, through all and in all,
We come to you with our prayers of praise and thanksgiving. We thank you for our church and its’ varied ministries. May we always seek to prayerfully discern your will for us. Guide us, O God, into the work you are already doing in the world. Enable us to serve. In Jesus name, AMEN.
