Everyday, Living Lutheran offers a prayer for the day from the ELCA resource Prayer Ventures, which can be downloaded here. These petitions are offered as a guide for your own prayer life as together we pray for the needs of the world and give thanks for the ministries of our church.
Monday, Aug. 8: ELCA Churchwide Assembly We remember in our prayers the pastors, leaders and delegates gathered in New Orleans for the 2016 Churchwide Assembly. We pray the Spirit will guide and energize their discernment, discussions and decisions that shape the mission of the ELCA and how we go about God’s work in the world.
