Lord, we have come from North and South, East and West, to worship and pray, discuss and discern.
We thank you for the journey that has gotten us to this day.
We seek not our own will, but yours alone.
Quiet in us any voice but yours. Help us to listen with openness to one another.
Grant us patience and stamina, wisdom and courage.
May the decisions, deliberations, actions and interactions of this week glorify you and ripple through your world for good.
Make sure, Lord of All, that we do not forget the needs of others, the power of your Spirit, the promise of your peace and the certainty of your presence, right here in the midst of us.
In Christ’s name we pray. Amen.
