2020:

Thanks to a $2,500 technology grant from the Diocese of Atlanta as seed money, Resurrection has installed new streaming camera and equipment in the nave of the church. Once the equipment is fine-tuned and fully functional, we will be able to stream services "live" from inside the nave. Bishop Wright made this grant available to 40 parishes in the diocese so that when we regather, we can continue to reach folks that cannot worship in-person, which has proven to be beneficial to many people during this pandemic. The diocesan grant covers half the cost of equipment and professional installation. Thank you Bishop!

Most Holy God, our prayer is to call upon Jesus and to grow in his light. If we do so, there is hope that our light will drive back the darkness of violence and the voices of rage. Only his light will enable us to share in the healing and reconciliation of all people. Help us to stay in his light. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.

The fear and chaos of the past week remind us that we are called to carry the light of Christ as Jesus taught his disciples who faced a violent world that demanded everything of them. Our path is laid out before us as a walk of faith and love. So move the hearts and minds of all people to act for justice, reconciliation and compassion in all of our dealings and encounters. Help us to listen, pray and then speak. The kingdom has come; we cannot behave otherwise. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.

We pray for our church, our clergy, vestry and all members. Help us to remain strong in our faith and in our commitment to our parish and to each other. We ask your continuing blessings on our presiding bishop Michael Curry, our bishop Robert Wright, our retired bishop Neil Alexander and our priests Scott and Sue. Bless the Nonnemakers at Virginia Theological Seminary. Help us to complete our pledge commitments for the coming year so that we may continue our outreaches. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.

We pray for our president Donald, our president-elect Joe, 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.

For all who serve in the military at home and on deployments, help us to prayerfully remember them always and to honor their service. Protect them wherever they are serving. 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.

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 encourage them as they face the dangers and the uncertainty of this pandemic. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.

Help us to wait patiently for the availability of the vaccine and to encourage those who qualify for it to persist until they receive it. While it promises hope for the coming months and years, help us to continue to embrace our personal responsibility to do all we can to help control the spread of this killer. We pray for those in our parish with immediate needs, including Christine Runkle, Mark Dieffenbacher, Larry Roland, Jane Maier and Larry Holbrook. We pray for those with long-term needs, including Carol Prescott, Helen Schlaefflin, Kelly Smith, Lloyd Mills, Gil Pollit, Jennifer Smith, Kevin LaForce and Dennis Bergin. Pray for family and friends of our parish, including Jackie, Luci, Billy, Gordon Weatherby, Scott Casavant, Emily, Sheila, Richard Turner, Teddy Thompson, Jessie Mutchler Brownlee, Warner Brock, Ross McConnell and Ramona Brogdon. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.

We pray for mothers that await the birth of her child, especially Katie Rose Ledford. We pray that you will keep the newborn, the fragile infants and vulnerable children safe from any illness or power that could harm them. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.

Comfort all who mourn for loved ones lost to sickness, accidents and injustice, including Terry Savoy’s brother, Cheyenne Savoy. As we recognize our own fragility, help us to realize the sacredness of all lives. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.

We thank you for these members of our church family who are celebrating birthdays this time of year, including Lana Brown and Jaymi Hampton, and anniversaries, including Dennis & Alice Wydra and Bob & Liz Clark. Meet them with blessings every day, and give them joy in the times you have made for them. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
