Nourishing God, your Word is life. In hope we pray:
Hear us, O Triune God.
Open our hearts to the beauty of creation, and inspire us to respond with reverence and care.
Hear us, O Triune God.
Help us to celebrate our nation’s diversity of cultures, languages, and traditions.
Hear us, O Triune God.
Safeguard athletes and all who participate in recreational activities.
Hear us, O Triune God.
Our Father . . .
May God bless us, guard us from evil, and direct our going and coming by the light of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
