CALLED TO BE CHURCH

As the Pastoral Planning Process continues, Committees of our Local Planning Group are formulating recommendations

that will ultimately be forwarded to Bishop Hubbard for His consideration. At this time these committees are considering

a variety of options – NO final decisions have been made.

In order to maintain an Open, Transparent and Inclusive process we continue to ask for input from all parishioners.

A variety of methods will be used and we encourage you to take advantage of these opportunities to share our insights.

Prayer in Time of Change

Beloved Jesus, anoint us to do your will. May the joy of your dwelling in us draw us closer to each other.

Expand our vision to recognize your plan; warm our hearts by the flame of your Love;

open our lips so that we can speak your word; extend our arms so that we can embrace each other as your people;

speak to us so we can discern the role you have for us, your Body, your Church.

Fill us with your Holy Spirit, empowering us to become vital expressions of growth in your changing Church.

Your Kingdom is NOW! Help us to discover and live Your will. Amen.
