Heavenly Father, we come to you at this time, seeking your perfect plan for St. Francis.  We seek your wisdom, discernment and guidance as to how we may serve you best and to your glory.  Make us a church where your Son Jesus is lifted up as Lord and Savior and where the healing power and presence of the Holy Spirit is known.  Even as your people trusted in you to bring them to the Promised Land, we look to you as God and Father to lead us in all things.  We trust you to bring to us the people and resources to help us accomplish your work.  Through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God for ever and ever.  Amen.
