Dear Companions in Christ,
We welcome you to St. Paul's Episcopal Church for the ninth Sunday after Pentecost, August 7, 2022.
This week we'll worship in services at 8:00AM (Rite I) and 9:30AM (Rite II). The later service is livestreamed on our YouTube Channel then archived for future viewing and shown on WPAA-TV at the usual times. You can download this week's bulletin here.
The Way of Love: Following Jesus & Changing the World –This week’s word is: PRAY. Let us join with all Bishops at the Lambeth Conference, and with Anglicans around the world, to pray for reconciliation and peace:“ Our prayers are for the people suffering in the world, particularly those living in the midst of violent conflict. We pray also for the Anglican Communion’s continuing support of those who work in areas of conflict. We pray that where there is violence, the Anglican Church will call for peaceful solutions and deeper dialogue. We pray for new approaches to these problems and for solutions which will reflect the power of Christ’s love and advance his kingdom.” - Lambeth Conference Prayer Guide, Day Seven

Heavenly Father, we thank you for your unwavering presence in our lives. We pray you bestow upon us your strength, hope, peace and above all faith. Father, we need you in our lives. Some of us are sick in body, some are sick in spirit. But we know that your steadfast and powerful healing can work miracles in all of us. Father, in this season of spring, remind us that we are ALL worthy of renewal in our lives and that we can always call upon you to send your love and healing. Father, you know our needs . Hear us now. In your holy name we pray. Amen.
Prayer for the people of Ukraine
God of peace and justice, we pray for the people of Ukraine today. We pray for peace and the laying down of weapons. We pray for all those who fear for tomorrow, that your Spirit of comfort would draw near to them. We pray for those with power over war or peace, for wisdom, discernment and compassion to guide their decisions. Above all, we pray for all your precious children, at risk and in fear, that you would hold and protect them. We pray in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace. Amen.
