A Prayer for Church of the Saviour Transition
Gracious and loving Lord, all good things come from your hand. We ask you for your guidance and strength in this time of transition. Help us to honor the past as we journey into the future you have prepared for us. Grant us wisdom in our search, discernment in our deliberations, patience in our tasks, steadfastness in ministry, joy in your purpose until your vision for this community is realized, to your honor and glory. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
