Opening Prayer, by Raymond A. Foss, Stetson Memorial United Methodist Church, Patten, ME, Laity Sunday, October 16, 2016

Let us pray:

Holy Spirit, Come down, be here among us. May we feel You here with us. Lord transform us through this time of worship, this gathering of your church together in this sacred space.

Lord, we need you. We need Your power to fall down upon us, so that we would be more fully your appointed people, gifted and charged to be doing Your work.

Speak to us, each one of us this day, so that we may be Your servants in Patten, in Penobscot and Aroostook Counties, and throughout the world. May this time of worship be pleasing in Your sight.

And we pray this in the name and the power of our risen Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen
