Ember Day Prayer
Our Adult Forum, Sundays at 09.00, is discussing lay ministry. Since today is an Ember Day, here is a prayer for all Christians in their ministry (BCP 256):
Almighty and everlasting God, by whose Spirit the whole body of your faithful people is governed and sanctified: Receive our supplications and prayers, which we offer before you for all members of your holy Church, that in their vocation and ministry they may truly and devoutly serve you, through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
