Prayer for Pastor Nancy

| 0 Comments

I am so grateful for the beautiful prayer that Nancy Rossmiller wrote for my last Sunday before I leave for Sabbatical. In my sermon I had asked that you all pray for me and for our congregation and our mutual growth.  What a delight then to hear you all pray this beautiful prayer. So please use it often during the next three months and I will do the same.

 

Farewell Prayer for Pastor Nancy

God of Life's Journey, as our beloved pastor takes her sabbatical, we pray that she will remember our love and appreciation for her. That she will experience a renewal of her gifts and the blessing of inner growth. That she will let herself rest in your grace and be nourished by your wisdom and steady presence.

We entrust her in your loving care

and with joyful expectation, 

we look forward to what will unfold for her and for us. May we individually and together, be and become, what you desire most for us. And upon the return of our beloved Pastor, when our paths again intertwine, may we share the fruits of our journey, and the love and faith that binds us across all space and time.

In Christ and with Christ we pray, Amen.

 

Thank you again for your love and support and for making this time of rest and renewal possible.
