Episcopal Church Women's Prayer
Almighty God, we pray that you will bless our work in
mission and ministry in the world. Make us so thankful for the power of
your love, given through your son, Jesus, that we may pray, labor and give
liberally to make known that love throughout the world. Bless us that our
lives may shine forth the joy and wonder we share in
your name. Amen. (see
