Prayer for the Diocese

Prayer for the Diocese

God our Father, on this Glorious Easter we come together to offer praise and adoration for Jesus - Jesus risen, alive, powerful and victorious, the salvation of the World – He is risen indeed Alleluia. Lord without the resurrection of your son our faith would be empty and without hope, but he is alive and we rejoice in the knowledge that in Jesus all that separates, injures and destroys has been overcome by that which unites and heals and creates.

We pray for your Church in the Diocese of Athabasca and we give thanks that you called us into the company of those who trust in Christ and seek to obey his will.  We think of your church today celebrating in clusters and crowds all over the world. Our language, race and nationalities may be different but our worship is one and our praise for you united.

We pray that your spirit may guide and strengthen us all in mission and service to you to our own community and to the world outside in whatever way we can each contribute and  we pray that day by day we may draw closer to you, experiencing your infinite love for us.

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.
