Prayers of the People October 16, 2022

These are the Prayers of the People that will be used during church this week. We encourage you to use them as part of your personal prayers this week.

Please join in the Prayers of the People and the congregational response is Jesus have mercy on us.

Great are the deeds of the Lord! Sisters and brothers, let us pray, saying,
“Christ, hear our prayer! Jesus, have mercy on us!”

May your Church be faithful, even as you are faithful. May we and your whole Church unashamedly work to further the gospel. May we overcome whatever apathy or distraction might threaten our witness. We lift to You all in ministry including our bishops, Susan and Jennifer, our bishop-elect, Mark, and our rector, Stacy
Christ, hear our prayer! Jesus, have mercy on us!

May the nations of the world seek wisdom and truth. May people, rich and poor, powerful and weak, find in you the source of healing and wholeness. We pray for our President, Joe, our Governor, Glenn, and all elected officials in the nation, states, and our local communities.
Christ, hear our prayer! Jesus, have mercy on us!

May we protect and guard the created order. May we recognize the majesty and splendor of all you have made. May we remember that healthy waters, sky, and land make us healthier people.

We lift in prayer all the many blessings in our lives as we offer gratitude to our God and creator.

At this time please offer aloud any thanksgivings.

Christ, hear our prayer! Jesus, have mercy on us!

May we be ever compassionate towards those who are pushed into the margins of our society. Give us open hearts that welcome and open hands that touch. Teach us a love that crosses boundaries and borders. We seek God’s support and guidance in our outreach ministry to Feed My Sheep, may it be transformational to those who give and those who receive those gifts.
Christ, hear our prayer! Jesus, have mercy on us!

May the sick and suffering know in their bodies and minds your healing power. You desire to make men and women clean of disease and stigma; make your grace known. We our prayers for all who suffer from addiction, chronic illness, and chronic pain. We remember especially those on our prayer list who need healing and comfort. (Read the first names of those on our prayer list).

At this time the congregation may add the names of those needing healing or comfort

Christ, hear our prayer! Jesus, have mercy on us!

May those who have died know the salvation found in you, Christ Jesus. Preserve the living in the enduring hope that, just as we are baptized into your death, so will we also live with you forever. We remember those on our prayer list who have died or are grieving. (Read the first names of those on our prayer list).

At this time the congregation may add the names of those who have died or are grieving

Christ, hear our prayer! Jesus, have mercy on us!

Little Fork is a unique and sacred place of worship. If you find God in places of retreat, come worship off the beaten path surrounded by cherry trees. Come to this place to be known by God and known by others. Little Fork is a small intergenerational congregation and the worship reflects that. Children and adults worship together. Work boots and fancy shoes stand side by side to pray and celebrate life’s big moments.

We'd Like to Get to Know You

The Body of Christ exists to care for each other. Sometimes we can be generous, and sometimes we receive generosity. Both are equal acts of faith and grace, and one cannot exist without the other. We thank you for your faith, grace, and generosity.
