Highlands Prayer Minimize

All embracing God of the past, we give you thanks for all the people of Highlands who have gone before us; saint and sinners like us,  who have nurtured each other, fed the hungry, visited the sick, and reached out into the world in your name. We lift them up to you , O God, as we express our gratitude for their work, their good stewardship, and the rich heritage they have left us.

All embracing God of the present, we give you thanks for each person who calls Highlands their church home. Grant that we might, even in this time of transition, find grace to nurture each other as we seek to be good stewards of your church. Bless us as we seek the balance between cherishing the traditions of a secure past and embracing the yet unfamiliar practices that will be our furture. Grant us grace in our disagreements and in our uncertainty. Grant us wisdom to understand that the vision we seek is nothing less than your own plan for us.Grant us patience to let the vision unfold as we pray and study and work together.Gant us a joyful spirit so that Highlands might reflect your glory and goodness in our Community.

All embracing God of the Future, we give you thanks for tomorrow. As you lure us into the unknown, Keep us secure in the knowledge that whatever our future holds you will be there waiting for us.
