A Prayer for Transition,

Gracious God,

We thank you for the many blessings you bestow on Church of the Holy Spirit, a faithful community with caring, Christ centered, committed individuals.

We ask You to keep our hearts and minds open to all possibilities as our search for a new Rector unfolds. We implore you to empower us with the movement for your Holy Spirit within our midst. We bid you to keep us centered on You and the mission of our church as a welcoming, loving community of faith. We are grateful, God, to be surrounded always by Your love and we pray this love will be the foundation of our every interaction with each other as our committees do the work they are called to do. We are stronger when we are together in purpose. We are blessed to be on this spiritual journey together.

We pray for our members who might feel vulnerable during this time of transition; may they find comfort and peace in the days ahead.

We pray for the priests who will consider leading our faith community; may they be authentic, spiritual, and wise and filled with your Holy Spirit. We trust You will guide us every step of the way as we move forward in our search for our next rector.

We pray with faith and gratitude.

Amen.
