O God, you taught the hearts of the
faithful people by sending them the
light of your Holy Spirit:
To be our guide on this path-a path
that is new to us and not easily
traveled.
To give us the wisdom and courage we
need in creating our new parish.
To comfort us and calm our fears as
we grow into this new faith
community.
To help us understand our part in
shaping this new community.
We ask this trusting your words
spoken through Jeremiah,
“I know the plans I have for you…
plans for your welfare…plans to give
you a future full of hope.
Amen
