Evening Prayer – 17 February 2016

Following our midweek Lenten Worship at Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies, Denise and I went to a midweek program she had heard about. The program was held at St Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church in Estes Park. It was a return to a discipline that we had in Florida where we went to midweek worship at St Agatha’s Episcopal Church in DeFuniak Springs. It was delightful to “hang out” with our new Episcopal friends. This cross stands at the entrance to St Barts.

Tonight, O Lord, as we remember your love for us

We light the Vesper Lights and lift our prayers to you

Thanksgiving for dear friends whom we remember and miss

Thanksgiving for a new community and new friends and opportunities to serve

Thanksgiving for your love, which picks up broken vessels and uses them for your work

Hear us as we pray, O Lord

Mold us and make us into your instruments

Instruments of your justice

Instruments of your mercy

Instruments of your love

Instruments of your peace

Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer for each other and for this world

Dona Nobis Pacem

Grant Us Peace

A wee prayer from the heart of your tired, yet energized Padre after a full day of ministry, meetings, worship, and fellowship…
