CHRIST CHURCH PRAYER CIRCLE

The Prayer Circle is a group of about 16 faithful parishioners who are dedicated to a ministry of intercessory prayer. At any given time our prayer list includes 30-40 names of persons for whom we are praying. Prayer Circle members think of themselves as a circle with our prayers reaching out like loving arms to surround and lift those for whom we are praying.

If you would like your name on our parish’s Prayer Circle or want to add someone's name, please e-mail us. Also, we welcome prayer suggestions.  

Intercessory Prayer
In peace, let us pray to the Lord, saying: Lord have mercy.

For the church and its bishops, for the newly baptized, and for all the faithful, let us pray to the Lord.

For the nations, for all rulers, legislators, and judges, and for an increase of justice in our lands, let us pray to the Lord.

For the United Nations, and for all who work for peace, let us pray to the Lord.

For our growth in grace, let us pray to the Lord.

For our community, and for solace and security for all its people, let us pray to the Lord.

For good weather, and for all who work to preserve God's creation, let us pray to the Lord.

For rich harvests, and for an equitable distribution of food throughout the world, let us pray to the Lord.

For all in any need, for the hungry and the homeless, for victims of war and injustice, and for prisoners, let us pray to the Lord.

For all who suffer, for the sick and infirm (especially N.), for all with incurable illness, and for all who this day will die, let us pray to the Lord.

For all who have died in the faith of Christ (especially N.), and for the promise of resurrection to be fulfilled, let us pray to the Lord.

Into your mercy we commend ourselves, and for peace at the last we pray, that all your creation may give you praise and worship, through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
