Almighty God, look with your gracious favor upon Christ Church. Guide and support us, O Lord, that all our endeavors may be to the glory of your Holy Name and the up-building of this Church as the Body of Christ. Increase in us the knowledge of who we are and open our minds and hearts to what you would have us become. Bless this parish with wisdom and courage. Keep it steadfast and united in love, ever open to your will and counsel. Help us find and seek to do what is pleasing in your sight. This we pray in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
