Prayers

Prayer is deeply transformational. It provides an opportunity to be in conversation with God – to work out the nuts and bolts, to speak our gratitude, to laugh, and to cry.

These prayers are suggestions and a place for parishioners and congregations to begin their journey as they find ways to bring stewardship and gratitude into their personal and congregational prayer life.

This new resource provides individuals with prayers to express gratitude and wonder for the world that God has given us in which we live in every day. There are also prayers for children of different ages and others that can be used in congregational contexts.

Another, one of our favorite resources for stewardship conversations is this document of prayers and where to find them. Share yours with us, too!

Below is one of our most frequently used:

It is our hope that the true business of our meeting and works will be our spiritual transformation and the transformation of others through us, and not simply the accomplishments of tasks and projects. We ask this of you as we now begin in the name of God, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.
