Weekly Prayers of the People
Trusting in God’s steadfast love for all God has made, let us pray for the church, the world, and all of creation.
God our gardener, you scatter grace like seed across the world. Continue to cultivate the garden of your church with your abundant Spirit. Within the BC Synod, we pray for Faith Lutheran in Kelowna – Rev. Brian Krushel; and for Gloria Dei Lutheran in North Vancouver – Rev. Ulrich Hossback.
God of grace, hear our prayer.
God our joy, your bountiful creation reflects your commitment to life despite our actions disregarding its wonder. We look toward Isaiah’s vision, when all creation rejoices, and the trees will clap for joy at your salvation.
God of grace, hear our prayer.
God our life, you give us the same Spirit by which you raised Christ from the dead. Set our minds on that Spirit whenever fear or condemnation overwhelm throughout the world.
God of Grace, hear our prayer
Draw near to the people of Venezuela in this hour of fear and grief. Protect those who are trapped, injured or searching for loved ones.

Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer.
