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!

The Father's Feast
Pizza
With Labor Day upon us, how about making pizza?! As you know, I love to cook and especially love to make pizza. Please take a look at my first attempt at a cooking video. When this pandemic ends, I intend to make more cooking videos with parishioners about food and faith. If you try it, please send me some pictures and let me know how it works out for you. Enjoy! Scott+ |
  Outdoor Stations of the Cross
The Formation Team has worked to put this pandemic version of the Stations all on the parish web site, so you can pray from home or on the church property, using your phone camera to scan QR codes posted at each of the fourteen Stations. Each Station has an interactive component of reflection, action, prayer, and invitations to pause, wonder, and to be honest. The prayers of each Station are recorded by our parishioners, so you can hear one another's voices saying the prayers as you take your time through the journey. The first Station is located just outside the front door of the parish hall, or at our web site www.resurrectionsautee.com. I want to thank the Formation Team and for everyone who recorded each Station. I hope you take the time to both come and share in the Stations of the Cross as well as invite others who are seeking and wondering at this time.

Most Holy God, the promise of your continuing presence amongst us gives us hope that we will be able to act with courage and obedience when you call. Help us and these for whom we pray to find the faith and courage to act in your love. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
We pray for our church family. Help us to stand firmly in our Baptismal vows. Keep us close in fellowship and to one another. 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. Even though our doors are closed, our hearts must remain open to love and serve all people. Let this be our united task and strength. 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. They need our prayers, thanks, and love in facing the uncertainty of this continuing pandemic. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
We pray for health and healing for all creation. Keep us steadfast in prayer and obedient to admonitions to protect lives through diligent actions. 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, including Stephen Hall. Pray for all who mourn. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
This week we honor labor of every sort, and celebrate those whose toil produces our food, enables us to move about, who keep every facet of our world and common life working. We also pray for all who seek employment. May they and all who work earn a fair wage for their contributions to our safety, peace, comfort, health, nutrition, and education. We pray that all who labor are respected and honored. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
We are joyful and thankful for these among us celebrating birthdays, including David Greer, Debbie McLean, Will Sheppard, and Amari Ernst, and those celebrating anniversaries, including Kenny & Annie Brevard, Lloyd & Susan Mills, Chris & Juli Mitchell, and Kevin & Nancy LaForce. Bless their accomplishments and their plans. Give them joy as they celebrate these landmarks in their lives. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
