Prayer for the Diocese

Prayer for the Diocese

Lord, in your thirst for relationship with us you reveal a love and longing greater than anything we can ask for or imagine. Teach us to thirst in the depths of our souls for you, O Lord, and through you, to thirst for more loving and just relationships with others throughout our diocese and beyond.  Above all, help us to be advocates for justice and peace in our workplaces and in the families and communities in which you have planted us.  In your blessed name we pray.  AMEN.

A Waterfall of Ice

We have had a lot of snow this year.  As the snow melts the water runs down the steps at the Synod office.  At night it freezes and has left a waterfall of ice.  We have salted and sanded but these are washed away with each new melt.  We have closed off the stairs for the time being.  If you arrive at the Synod office for a visit please call 780-624-2767 and someone will come let you in the basement door.
