We give you thanks, Gracious God, that we can be restored to right relationship with you through your son, Jesus the Christ. We give you thanks that Jesus remains a priest and intercessor for us, just as the line of Melchizedek were priests forever for the people of Israel. We give you thanks that Jesus the Christ carries our prayers and intercessions to You, that you hear our cries, and that you answer in your time. With wonder and humble thanksgiving we pray,

Lord God, through your son Jesus the Christ, you call us to lives of service and care for all that you have created, the earth and all its creatures. Grant us the skills and insights, the caring and compassion to steward all that you have made. Help us to restore the balance of forests and oceans, of production and consumption that allows all creatures and all beings to live and to thrive.


Oh God, hear our prayers for all peoples suffering because of covid – those will the illness, those caring for them, and those impacted by measures to contain its spread. We are so weary. We hear with thanksgiving that some improvement is being realized in our privileged province, while many less fortunate areas of the world continue to suffer severe rates of illness. May we not grow weary of doing the good that needs to be done to protect the vulnerable, wherever they live.

We pray, Oh God, for politicians and leaders at all levels of government, for our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, for our Premier Jason Kenney, and our mayor Naheed Nenshi. Inspire their visions of the common good, that all people are treated with dignity. As we enter the final week before our municipal election, we pray for all who are running for office, that dialogue will remain respectful. We pray for wisdom and discernment for all who will be voting, that choices will be made wisely.

We pray your blessing, Lord God, on our Bishop Larry Kochendorfer as he begins a sabbatical from his leadership role in our synod. Grant him times for restorative recreation and for quiet contemplation, that he may return to his call with renewed joy, discernment and insight for leading this expression of this church.

Comfort oh comfort your people oh God. We pray for all who are ill, who are anxious about many things, and who are suffering with mental, physical or spiritual concerns. Infuse each one today and every day with your peace. Hear our prayers for Rose, Jackie, Meike, Leonard, Cory, Linda, Curtis, Chelsea, Jennifer, Michael, Pat, Lyla, Knute, Joel, Sarah, Tom, Heather, Elizabeth, Liza, Gerard, Gerry, Joyce, Helen, Dave, Norman, and those that we remember before you in our hearts or with our voices...........We pray for healing of mind, body and spirit.

In Jesus name we pray.  Amen
