Loving Father, we give you thanks
for the many blessings and opportunities
you offer to us.
Help and guide us now as we unite
to work alongside the Sion Community
to host our Parish Mission.
Holy Spirit move in us.
Strengthen and inspire us
to remove the obstacles
that fear and misunderstanding
can create in our communities.
Breathe into us the wisdom and
enlightenment to become
One Family in Christ.
We pray that in our coming together
we will grow to love you and each other
more willingly
and worship you more joyfully.
Grant that our renewed faith and courage
may open our hearts
and through love, service, prayer and
forgiveness
build our Parish as one Community,
One Family in Christ
Body of Christ, be our Salvation
