Intercessor: Uplifted by the promised hope of healing and resurrection, we join the people of God in all times and places in praying for the church, the world, and all who are in need—  [a brief silence.]
God of resurrection, from the very beginning you give the church the gift of women witnesses who open our ears to their proclamation this day and always. Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer.

All your creation praises you—the earth hums, the seas pulse, the stars shine, and the galaxies whirl in glorious harmonies to honor you.  Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer.

The countries of the world experience disunity and conflict; Build up all countries on your cornerstone of peace. Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer.

Cradle the fearful, the suffering, and the dying, assuring the Runswe family and those we name before you . . .  of resurrected hope in your loving presence. Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer.

Pastor: With bold confidence in your love, almighty God, we place all for whom we pray into your eternal care; through Christ our Lord. Amen.
