Dear Pastors and Prayer Leaders in the Anglican Diocese of the Western Gulf Coast,

Our Diocesan Synod is coming up next Friday and Saturday.  Bishop Clark has asked me to organize a ministry of prayer for the synod.  Time is short, so I am counting on you to help me get the word out to those in your congregation that are gifted in prayer.  There are several opportunities for service at the synod and one opportunity that can take place at home.  We are looking for home intercessors, and intercessors and prayer team members who will be at Synod.  Please email billkotlan@gmail.com and let me know your email address and which time slots you are available to pray.



Prayer for Parish Meeting

Almighty and everliving God, source of all wisdom and
understanding, be present with those who take counsel
at the St. Timothy's Parish Meeting and DWGC Diocesan Synod this week 
for the renewal and mission of your Church.
Teach us in all things to seek first your honor and glory. Guide
us to perceive what is right, and grant us both the courage to
pursue it and the grace to accomplish it; through Jesus Christ
our Lord. Amen.

Prayer for an Election

Almighty God, to whom we must account for all our powers
and privileges: Guide the people of the United States (or of
this community) in the election of officials and representatives;
that, by faithful administration and wise laws, the rights of
all may be protected and our nation be enabled to fulfill your
purposes; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
