Guide us, O God in the work you are calling us this moment to do. We seek your will as we look toward the leadership of the church in this community today. As we prepare for the work ahead, you call us to listen, to reflect, and to hope for the future. Guide our conversations, make us speak truth in love to one another. Thank you God for your Spirit moving in and through us in all things. Amen.
