Prayer for the Diocese

Prayer for the Diocese

Almighty God, creator of the northern lights and steward of the vast lands of the Diocese of Athabasca, we lift up your church. As we navigate the challenges of ministry, grant our leaders wisdom, the clergy strength, and the congregations a spirit of unity.  We pray for the people of the diocese, may they be stewards of your love and grace in their communities.  As we move forward, guide our diocesan council and staff with the spirit of discernment. We ask for your blessing upon their ministry, that it may be a living encounter with Christ, transforming hearts and welcoming all home.  Amen.
