Prayers for the Rooted in Faith, Growing to Serve Campaign 

Please join Mother Bonnie and Mother Myra in praying for the Capital Campaign each week with this brief litany.

 

A Litany for the Rooted in Faith, Growing to Serve Campaign

Gracious Creator God, we give thanks for your love that creates, redeems and sanctifies us as your body in this world.

We especially thank you for the gift of each of these past 57 years as the community of Saint George Episcopal Church, Maple Valley: for our triumphs, trials and shared memories that have led us into community and communion with you and each other.

 

We remember and celebrate your faithfulness, O Lord.

As we set our faces and fix our hearts for the next 57 years, we recognize that our work is not yet done.

Therefore, we ask you to make fruitful our Rooted in Faith, Growing to Serve Capital Campaign in these ways:

Give us generous and compassionate hearts to commit fully to this holy work and to keep your Kingdom dream at the center of our vision for this parish.

 

Help us to be a tender-hearted people, O Lord.

Infuse us with the light of your love so that we will pull together in confidence, courage and hope, bound ever closer as disciples who model our lives after your example of self-giving love.

 

Bind our hearts selflessly to You, O Lord.

Empower within us your Holy Spirit so we may be advocates and witnesses of your Gospel especially to those who stand in most need among us.

 

Revive in us a hunger for justice and mercy, O Lord.

Stir in us a desire to contribute to a creative and faithful legacy for those who will come after us in the communion of saints.

 

Restore in us a steadfast spirit, O Lord.

Teach us to trust your provision in all that we do, taking away our fear of scarcity or inadequacy so that we may be truly open hearing the ideas and needs of our donors and recipients.

 

Give us bold dreams, O Lord.

Guide us to a humble and responsible stewardship, honoring each gift given as an outward sign of your grace, trusting you to make more of our offerings than we could ever imagine.

 

Sanctify us as your servants, O Lord.

As we go forward, bless this Capital Campaign to be a blessing to others. Give strength and insight to our Capital Campaign Team. May our words and deeds lead others to a relationship with you, and bring honor and glory to your Holy name.

 

Of all we ask, of all we long for, we do so in the hope and promise of Christ our Lord. Amen.
