Dear friends and parishioners,
A Prayer for the Natural Order – For Knowledge of God’s Creation
Almighty and everlasting God, you made the universe with all its marvelous order, its atoms, worlds, and galaxies, and the infinite complexity of living creatures: Grant that, as we probe the mysteries of your creation, we may come to know you more truly, and more surely fulfill our role in your eternal purpose; in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Be well. Stay safe. Keep the faith.
– Michelle

Also, if you feel comfortable in delivering the closing prayer, we would welcome your participation. Attendance at every session is not required.
