Today's Prayer
Almighty God,
you have created the heavens and the earth
and made us in your own image:
teach us to discern your hand in all your works
and your likeness in all your children;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who with you and the Holy Spirit reigns supreme over all things,
now and for ever.
Amen.

Prayer for Shrove Tuesday
 Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation,
for it is from your goodness that we have this day
to celebrate on the threshold of the Season of Lent.
Tomorrow, we will fast and abstain from meat.
 
Today, we feast.
We thank you for the abundance of gifts you shower upon us.
We thank you especially for one another.
As we give you thanks,
we are mindful of those who have so much less than we do.
As we share these wonderful gifts together,
we commit ourselves to greater generosity toward those who need our support.
 
As our feasting fills us with gratitude,
so may our fasting and abstinence hollow out in us
a place for deeper desires and an attentiveness to hear the cry of the poor.
May our self-denial turn our hearts to you
and give us a new freedom for
generous service to others.
 
We ask you these graces with our hearts full of delight
and stirring with readiness for the journey ahead.
We ask them with confidence in the name of Jesus the Lord.

Prayer for Ash Wednesday
God of goodness and mercy,
Hear my prayer as I begin this Lenten journey with you. Let me be honest with myself as I look into my heart and soul, noticing the times I turn away from you. Guide me as I humbly seek to repent and return to your love. May humility guide my efforts to be reconciled with you and live forever in your abundant grace. Transform me this Lent, heavenly Father. Give me the strength to make myself 100% available to you every day as I prepare for Easter. 
Amen
 
Planning for vestry….
Almighty and everliving God, source of all wisdom and understanding, be present with those who take counsel (in the weeks leading to the Diocese of Huron’s church annual Vestry meetings) for the renewal and mission of your Church. Teach us in all things to seek first your honour and glory. Guide us to perceive what is right, and grant us both the courage to pursue it and the grace to accomplish it; through Jesus Christ our Lord.  AMEN  (page 676 BAS).
