Weekly Prayers of the People
With bold trust in God’s unfailing provision, we pray for the church, those in need, and all of God’s creation.
For believers around the world who stream to your holy mountain, that all be united in faith and harmony in the body of Christ. Within the BC Synod, we pray for Christ the King Lutheran in Surrey – Rev. Nicolas Alexandre; and for pastors, priests, and deacons serving in full communion congregations. Let your church on earth be a witness to the beloved community of your heavenly kingdom.
Merciful God, receive our prayer.
For your wondrous creation, that it thrives and flourishes as you intend. Raise up wise stewards to defend the natural world against carelessness and destruction. Safeguard endangered species and their habitats.
Merciful God, receive our prayer.
For the nations of the world and all in authority, that they heed the cry of the outcast and ensure care for the most vulnerable. Give wisdom to leaders of countries, congregations, and communities, that they lead and serve justly. God our creator, through those providing care, we enjoy all goodness in life, turn our eyes to your mercy in this time of confusion and loss. Comfort the people of Colombia as they mourn, protect first responders, increase generosity and unity; shine your light on those whose only companion is darkness; and teach us all so to number our days that we may apply our hearts to your wisdom; through Jesus Christ, our saviour and Lord.
Merciful God, receive our prayer

Draw this community together in love and strengthen it in unwavering faith. Merciful God, receive our prayer. For the saints before us whose work is done, that their faithful example continues to direct your church. May their witness remind us that your gifts and calling are irrevocable, whether in life or death.
