God, our refuge, mercy and truth go before you. In hope we pray: Hear our cry, O God.
Strengthen and support lay leadership, participation, and ministry in your Church.
Shape our leaders into exemplars of service, integrity, and compassion.
Help us to ensure just wages and safe conditions for all workers.
Our Father . . .
May God enlighten us to know the hope to which we are called in Christ Jesus, by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
