PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS

SYNOD PRAYER

SYNOD PRAYER
Eternal and Most Merciful God, The Creator and Preserver of all life, we thy unworthy servants bring You all honor, praise, glory and adoration, on behalf of our dear Diocese, through our only Lord and Advocate, even Jesus The Christ. We appreciate, and never take for granted, Your gracious love which has shielded us from all the perils and dangers of the time, and granted us the privilege to gather again in Your Name. We pray that Your Spirit abides with us all through this synod. Bless and continue to inspire our Bishop, and the entire leadership of our Diocese. May all who worship You here be clothed with righteousness. May we be so convicted by the truth of, and the hope in, Your word, that we shall be ready to die defending same. May the light of Your word continue to lighten the thick darkness of the present time, that Your people shall be free and the whole earth live to praise Your holy Name. Grant these, we pray, through Him who alone is The Way, The Truth, and The life, Jesus The Christ our Lord. Amen.
