"We invite everyone to share communion around God's altar. 
We strive to be a welcoming and relevant Christian community doing what matters through prayer, worship, teaching, outreach, fellowship, and service. 
 
We will demonstrate the real life application of scripture, tradition, and
reason by providing a safe place to respond to each other's needs,   
hurts, joys, and interests."

Twelve parish members have tested positive for COVID-19.

Pray for all of our sisters and brothers who are dealing with the challenging consequences of this pandemic.


Thank you for being grateful, responsible stewards of the gifts we receive from God. What a blessing and honor to be stewards of what God has given to us! Thank you for supporting our ministry and mission at Resurrection and allowing Resurrection members to be beacons of light in our parish and out in the community.  No matter what amount you give to Resurrection, your gift makes a difference in the ministry and mission we do.

Most Holy God, time is one of your most precious gifts. Help us and these for whom we pray to use it reverently. Keep us from rejecting this time of isolation and disconnection as boring and unbearable. In this time, help us to find your will and your plans to give us and creation a future and a hope. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
 
We pray for our church family. We ask your continuing blessings on our presiding bishop Michael Curry, our bishop Robert Wright, our assisting bishop Don Wimberly, our retired bishop Neil Alexander, and our priests Scott and Sue. Bless the Nonnemakers at Virginia Theological Seminary. Help us to remember that no matter where we are physically, we are a church and a family. Our mission is to the greater family of God. Guide us in our outreach. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
 
We pray for our president Donald, for the leaders of the nations, and for all in authority, that they may compassionately work for justice and peace.  Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
 
We pray for all members of our armed services; protect and defend our troops in deployments in combat zones. Pray for Jamie Davey, Jordan Davey, Brett Turner, Jennifer Parrish, Bart Ziccardi, Robert Rish, Kayla Ziccardi, Frank Caruccio, Joseph Lorenz, Wayne Lovell, Jessica Stephens, Mitchell Stephens, Brandon Richards, Drew Camp, and Jason Gregoryk. Guide, guard, and protect all law enforcement and first responders, including Don Scalia. Please cover all health care workers with your blessings of protection and strength as they work to save lives, including Dr. William Koeppel, Marika Csatary, JM Kidd, Chloe Gedney, Jackie Hayes, Dr. Barbara Camp, Roxanne Hall, Susie Murray, Susan Smith, and Candler Kimsey. Let our prayers, thanks, and love give them encouragement as they face the dangers and the uncertainty of this pandemic. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
 
We pray for health and healing for all creation. The health of many and a return to communal life depend on our obedience to guidance for protecting one another in this pandemic. We pray for them and for the sick, the lonely, and their caregivers. Let them experience health and wholeness in your healing presence. Pray for Carol, Helen, Kelly, Bob, Lloyd, Gil, Jennifer, Kevin, Jackie, Kelli, Luci, Sharon, Billy, Genny, Gordon, Opal, Diane, Chris, Charlene, David, Scott, Genie, Dennis, Sue, and Chrissy. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
 
We pray for Hannah Kidd Kogel as she awaits the birth of her child. We pray for newborns, infants, and children of all ages. Protect them from every danger and sickness. Restore all children separated from their families. In this time, shield all children with safety, love, and peace. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
 
Comfort all who mourn for loved ones lost to sickness, accidents, and injustice. As we recognize our own fragility, help us to realize and celebrate the sacredness of every life. Pray for all who mourn. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
 
Compassion is one of the most needed graces in our present time. It is manifested in giving goods, time, advice, and our meaningful and full presence to any need that touches us. This week help us to seek your grace and wisdom in matters of confronting our needs and the needs of others. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
 
We are joyful and thankful for these among us celebrating birthdays, including Andy Gilbert, Lyndsey Roberts, Elizabeth Cochran, Juli Mitchell, Kate Koeppel, and those celebrating anniversaries, including Ben & Stephanie Bolton, Mark & Marijo Diffenbacher, Scott & Patty Kidd, Robert & Melissa Boman, and Roy & Bernadine Brogdon. Bless their accomplishments and their plans. Give them joy as they celebrate these landmarks in their lives. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
