Grandma Reynolds

Loving lord, as we gather around our family table, we ask your special blessing on our mother Noreen. Her presence brings light and warmth to our lives and we thank you for giving her to us. We know her care for us has been constant. She has enlightened us at some of the most difficult times in our family life. Lord, now bless her with the same consolation that your Mother received during her life.  Amen.

Laura

                                       

Lord, we thank you for the precious gift of Laura in our lives. We know that every good gift comes from You, and that You have given her to us to care for and raise. Help us to release her into Your protection, guidance, and counsel. To us not to live in fear of possible dangers, but in the joy and peace of knowing that You are in control. We rely on You for everything, and this day we trust and release Laura into Your hands. Amen.

Armagost Family

                                     

Lord, we lift up to you the Armagost family this week.  We thank you for their presence and the gift of their daughter Amber into our family.  O God of goodness and mercy, to Your fatherly guidance we commend our families, our household and all our belongings.We commit all to Your love and keeping; fill their house with Your blessings even as You filled the holy House of Nazareth with Your presence.  Amen.

John

All-powerful and ever-living God, when Abraham left his native land and departed from his people you kept him safe through all his journeys.  Protect John as he continues to serve overseas.  Be his constant companion and his strength in every moment of every day, his refuge in every adversity.  Guide him, O Lord, that he may balance the demands of work and family life, and draw him ever closer to you each day.  We ask this through Christ our Lord.  Amen.

Hayley

Lord, we thank You for Hayley to whom you've entrusted to our family.  We look to cooperate with Your abundant grace and example in helping her grow into a free and responsible young lady and to mature in the faith she received at Baptism. Let the spirit of love and renewal continue in the lives of all who believe, that they might be changed in Your image and likeness, O God. May all who seek new life find it in You. Amen.
