A Simple Prayer



















On a day that will be bookmarked by two events of some import, I invite the Holy Spirit into our midst. I suggest we will need this.

This morning, Pat Dunn and I will meet with each of our permanent staff here in the Conference Office for their annual evaluations. I want to personally thank the many of you who took the time to fill out the surveys we sent out. They were very helpful. As you all noted, we have outstanding people working for us. We are lucky to have them, and proud of them.

This evening, we will celebrate the life of Caitlin (Kat) Lucas, daughter of Liz Adler and Len Silvester. Len is pastor at Church of the Palms in Sun City, and Moderator of the Conference. My heart aches for them both.









And so, let us pray:
Holy Spirit of the living God, on days when the daily toils and tasks collide with profound and deep pain, abide. Give us hope. Give us comfort. And through the veil of our tears may joy emerge.
