Gracious and Loving God
On this day, our Founders Day, we give thanks…
We give thanks for those who had the original vision to see a Friends meeting gather and thrive in this location.
We give thanks for all those who have been joined to this meeting for well over 250 years and have given of their time, their talents, and their treasure.
We give thanks for lives that have been changed, transformed, renewed, and healed through the ministry of this meeting.
We give thanks for the many sacrifices and the dedicated lives that have made it possible for there to be a Deep River Friends meeting these many years.
We give thanks for every pastor that has ever served in this meeting – for their servanthood, dedication, and shepherds heart.
And we give thanks to you, O God, for being a generous God, a God who has walked with us and guided us through both the ups and the downs.
We give thanks God for the love you have for us, for the forgiveness of our sins, and for the promise and hope we have in Jesus Christ.
On this Founders Day, we pray for…
Vision for the future
Wisdom in the present
Guidance in the everyday
Love for one another
Hope in the circumstances of life
Peace in our hearts and in our world.
In Jesus Christ Name.
Amen.
