Weekly Prayer List

an Introspective prayer

Almighty and everlasting God, you have given to us
grace by the confession of a true faith to
acknowledge you our God as divine community:
Keep us steadfast in this faith that our community life
may mirror the love of your divine community.
O Lover; who with the Beloved and the Love-Sharer
live and reign, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
