Prayer for a New Dean
Almighty God, look graciously on the people of St. Peter’s Cathedral. Be with us and lead us as we seek the next Dean for our church. Enlighten with your grace the Search Committee. We ask for discernment, wisdom, and guidance. We pray for whom you guide to our parish, that they hear your calling and join our congregation swiftly, with joy in their hearts. We pray for the life of our parish, that we may joyfully continue to be strengthened in our mission to “Love God and Our Neighbor and Make Disciples for Christ.” Give us courage to respond and act as you lead us. We pray this through Jesus Christ our Lord.
We are One Body, Many Members. Together!
We gather to learn...
...to love God and one another...
...and provide space for spiritual growth and cultural exchange.
