We are the living stones of God’s temple. From this sacred house we lift up our prayers to God.

As the days become shorter, we bring to mind those who have died and contemplate our own homecoming to God. Let us offer our prayers, with hope in God and in loving response to all who have ever prayed for us.

The Lord is good and gracious to us, turning us gently from the idols of power, security, and comfort to serve the living and true God. Pray that we may love as we are loved.

We give thanks to God always for the gospel that comes to us in power and in the Holy Spirit. Pray that we receive it with much conviction and live by its teachings.
