Prayer for the week:Patient and loving God, we come before you in a spirit of worship this morning. Strengthen our faith, we ask, so that we may live as people who wait with hope and expectation. Help us be people who trust your promise shared with us in the Risen Christ, the One whose example of love and service we seek to live out. Set our hearts and minds on you that we may know your constant presence and everlasting love. Amen.
