ANNOUNCEMENTS
NATIONAL INDIGENOUR DAY OF PRAYER
National Indigenous Day of Prayer - June 21: The General Synod of the
Anglican Church of Canada has designated June 21 as the National
Indigenous Day of Prayer as one of the steps in reconciliation with first
peoples of this land - work that is ongoing. June 21 also marks the
summer solstice, a sacred day for aboriginals around the world, who see
it as a time for renewal and for celebrating their culture and heritage.
Please keep in your prayers the National Indigenous Anglican
Archbishop, Mark MacDonald and Indigenous Ministries and pray for
continued progress in our efforts at reconciliation.
COLLECT FOR NATIONAL INDIGENOUR DAY OF PRAYER
Creator God,
from you every family in heaven and earth takes its name.
You have rooted and grounded us
in your covenant love,
and empowered us by your Spirit
to speak the truth in love,
and to walk in your way towards justice and wholeness.
Mercifully grant that your people,
journeying together in partnership,
may be strengthened and guided
to help one another to grow into the full stature of Christ,
who is our light and our life. Amen
PRAYER FOR FATHER'S DAY
Loving
God, bless all fathers and father figures of this world today - and
every day.
Give them strength and courage that their love and faith may shine forth
as exemplified in the life of Jesus and in his words before blessing the
children "Let the children come to me and do not stop them."
May all fathers and father figures do everything in their power to show
your love so that all might draw near to you, experiencing grace and
discovering love.
May they all learn to live in the pattern of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
