Lord,
we beseech you to keep your family, the Church,
in continual godliness,
that through your protection
it may be free from all adversities,
and devoutly given to serve you in good works,
to the glory of your name;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Prayer Space with Leisa
This coming weekend, our parish will again welcome visitors from across the community to the Redcliffe Floral and Art Festival, and we look forward to welcoming Bishop Sarah Plowman as she opens the festival. Let us pray for God’s blessing upon this special event and all who will be part of it.
Loving God,
We give you thanks for the opportunity to welcome our community through the Redcliffe Floral and Art Festival. As we open our church doors this coming weekend, may this event be more than a celebration of beauty and creativity; may it be an expression of your love, hospitality, and grace.
Bless all who have contributed their gifts, time, and talents in preparation for this festival, especially those who have worked tirelessly behind the scenes. May their efforts bring joy to all who visit and reflect the beauty of your creation.
We give thanks for the ministry of Bishop Sarah Plowman and warmly welcome her as she joins us to open the festival. Bless her wisdom, strength, and joy in her ministry, and may her presence among us be a source of encouragement and fellowship.
As visitors enter our church over these days, may they encounter a warm welcome, meaningful connection, and the peace of your presence. Help us to be faithful ambassadors of Christ, sharing your love through every conversation, every act of kindness, and every expression of hospitality.
Guide us as we seek to serve our community and grow in mission. May this festival strengthen relationships, open new opportunities for outreach, and help others see the hope and love that are found in you.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
