The ELCIC Nation Convention has begun!
Please pray for all involved in the convention including delegates, volunteers, special guests, staff, visitors, and for congregations preparing their delegates, lay and ordained, for their travels.
Lord Jesus,
In the boats where we gather as your disciples, make us aware of your presence.
In the storms of life, bless us with faith that even the wind and sea obey you.
From coast to coast to coast, increase our courage to be a church In Mission for Others.
As the ELCIC gathers in convention, send us your Holy Spirit, so that this church and all your people may see signs of hope, share signs of hope and be signs of hope.
In your name we pray.
Amen.
