The Ministry of
The Church of the Ascension
We extend a warm welcome to all to join us in worship every Sunday at 11:00 am with The Rev. M. Kathryn Rackley celebrating the Holy Eucharist.

All are welcome at the Lord's Table.

Lord, in your mercy, Hear our prayer.

For the peace of the world, that a spirit of respect and forbearance may grow among nations and peoples, we pray to you, O Lord.

Guide the people of this land, and of all the nations, in the ways of justice and peace; that we may honor one another and serve the common good.

For the peace of the world, for the welfare of the Holy Church of God, and for the unity of all peoples, Lord, have mercy.

For our enemies and those who wish us harm, and for all whom we have injured or offended, we pray to you, O Lord.

We pray for all who govern and hold authority in the nations of the world; That there may be justice and peace on the earth.

For those in positions of public trust, especially George, our President, that they may serve justice, and promote the dignity and freedom of every person, we pray to you, O Lord.

Have compassion on those who suffer from any grief or trouble; That they may be delivered from their distress.

For the poor, the persecuted, the sick, and all who suffer; for refugees, prisoners, and all who are in danger; that they may be relieved and protected, we pray to you, O Lord.

For all who have commended themselves to our prayers; for our families, friends, and neighbors; that being freed from anxiety, they may live in joy, peace, and health, we pray to you, O Lord.

Comfort and heal all those who suffer in body, mind, or spirit; give them courage and hope in their troubles, and bring them the joy of your salvation.

We commend to your mercy all who have died, that your will for them may be fulfilled; and we pray that we may share with all your saints in your eternal kingdom. Give to the departed eternal rest. Let light perpetual shine upon them.

For all who have died in the communion of your Church, and those whose faith is known to you alone, that, with all the saints, they may have rest in that place where there is no pain or grief, but life eternal, we pray to you, O Lord.

Give us grace to do your will in all that we undertake; That our works may find favor in your sight.

Lord, in your mercy
Hear our prayer.

For yours is the majesty, O Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, now and for ever.

Amen.
