I ask each of you to use this Prayer for The Parish found in the Book of Common Prayer on page 817 during this important time in the life of All Saints Episcopal Church:
Almighty and everliving God, Ruler of all things in heaven and earth, hear our prayers for this parish family. Strengthen the faithful, arouse the careless, and restore the penitent. Grant us all things necessary for our common life, and bring us to be of one heart and mind within your holy Church; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Senior Warden
