...learn from and lift up your LGBTQ+ children.
Help us to form true bonds in this time together to bridge more than our geographical distances, so as to truly reflect and be the Body of Christ, your Love incarnate.
Help us to form true bonds in this time together to bridge more than our geographical distances, so as to truly reflect and be the Body of Christ, your Love incarnate.
May your Spirit be upon all of us as we celebrate and uphold with Pride- the dignity of all your children- diverse and wonderful.
Bless our efforts to imitate the ministry and love of Jesus - who bent down to touch and heal our wounds and lifts us up on his shoulders to carry us to safety.
Surround in love your children who have yet to discover their dignity and value- or question it because of distortions of your Word.
Be with those who are isolated, lonely or looking to escape their pain in unhealthy ways.
Inspire us as church to be more effective in Outreach, in mission and in embodying your all merciful love.
Amen.
