Independence Day Prayer ⁠ (Please note our paris

Independence Day Prayer ⁠
(Please note our parish office is closed today.)⁠
⁠
Lord, we stand today as our forefathers have stood before You in times gone by, Celebrating our history and reveling in all the great things that our country has achieved. On this day we rejoice in the favor You have graciously given us. We thank You for the blessings of liberty, for this generation, and for the generations to come. We thank You for our independence, and peace and for all those who have bravely given their lives in the defense of freedom and justice. We thank You that Your gracious and provident hand has given us so much. ⁠
⁠
Yet as a nation and people we have not always chosen the right way. We ask You to forgive us for these times. On this day we commit ourselves to wholeheartedly honoring and serving You. With everything that we are, we lay our lives before You. Make us a generous people, A holy nation, A people set aside to love You forever, For the sake of the land of the brave and free, And the peoples and nations of this world. ⁠
⁠
Today, we do not presume Your grace for our country. Our land is in need of You, Our people are in need of You, and Our industry and business are in need of You. May we look only to You This Independence Day, dependent on You. ⁠
⁠
Please come now by Your glorious Holy Spirit, Breathe new life into the sinews of this nation. May justice flow like rivers, And righteousness like a never-failing stream, Until the whole of our country is covered with Your glory, As the waters cover the sea. ⁠
⁠
We ask all this in the wonderful name of Jesus, Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit. One God, now and for all eternity. Amen.⁠

Creativity can come in many forms. Whether it’s expressing your inner vibe through fashion, making a collage, crayoning the day away, creating fabulous looks with makeup and hair styling, arranging a room, or any other artistic medium, engaging with the arts can be an amazing gateway to joy.

Almighty God, you rescued your people from slavery

Almighty God, you rescued your people from slavery in Egypt, and throughout the ages, you have never failed to hear the cries of the captives. Grant us grace to contend fearlessly against evil and to make no peace with oppression. Help us, like those of generations before us, to resist the evil of slavery and human bondage in any form and any manner of oppression. Help us to use our freedoms to bring justice among people and nations everywhere, to the glory of your Holy name through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. ⁠

The concept of discipleship is at once multilayere

The concept of discipleship is at once multilayered and incredibly simple. On the one hand, it may be easy to become overwhelmed when contemplating the task of Being A Disciple of Jesus Christ. Surely that involves some lofty qualifications? Or at least a flawless track record? How about time commitment? Do we have a budget estimate?... On the other hand… could it be that it’s just as simple as taking one faltering, hesitant, uncertain step at a time, going forward into the world equipped only with the certainty of being wholly and unconditionally loved, and the conviction to pass that Love to others?💕⁠

🙏 God the King of Glory, in whose hands are the living and the dead: We give you thanks for all those who have laid down their lives in the service of our country. Grant them your mercy and the light of your presence; and give us a sense of your will and purpose, that we may understand that the work you have begun in them will be perfected through Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, in whom all strife is resolved. Amen. (EOW 3) 🌱⁠
