Search Committee Prayer

Almighty, God, we give you thanks for all the blessings of this life and especially for our lives and witness in this church, Bethlehem United Church of Christ. Look with favor and guide the members of the Search Committee to discern by the power of the Holy Spirit your will for this place. Guide our search for a new pastor who will be our shepherd, teacher, and friend in proclaiming of the Good News of our Lord Jesus Christ through Word and Sacraments. Open our hearts to this process that we may always remember that Your will be done in all things. All this we ask through the same Jesus Christ, who lives, and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit now and forever, Amen.
