YOUTH MINISTER, Part-time (St. Michael's, Kaua'i) |
Proper 24 Almighty and everlasting God, in Christ you have revealed your glory among the nations: Preserve the works of your mercy, that your Church throughout the world may persevere with steadfast faith in the confession of your Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. - Book of Common Prayer p. 235 + |
Bishop's Prayer A Simple Prayer of Commitment: Come Holy Spirit; fill me so that I can: Dedicate my heart to Christ Jesus, open my mind to seek truth and justice, lift up my hands to welcome the outcast and care for the broken, behold with my eyes the wonders of creation, hear with my ears the story of God in the world, and sing with my lips a song of God's love - with laughter and without worry. And always in the Name of Jesus. Amen. - As shared in the Annual Meeting of the Convention 2011 |
