  • O God, we remember with thanksgiving those who have loved and served you on earth, who now rest from their labors, especially Francis, bishop of Rome. Keep us in union with all your saints, and bring us with them to the joyous feast of heaven; through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen.
  • We invite you to join in prayer for ELCA Synods that will be gathering for Assembly this week: Almighty God, you have given your Holy Spirit to the church to lead us into all truth. Bless with the Spirit’s grace and presence the people of the North Texas – North Louisiana and Alaska Synods and Northwest Synod of Wisconsin as they gather for assembly this week. Keep them steadfast in faith and united in love, that they may manifest your glory and prepare for the way of your kingdom; through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen.
  • Prayers for all who mourn the death of Archbishop Yuri Timofeyevich Novgorodov – his family, his friends, his colleagues, and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in the Republic of Kazakhstan (ELCRK) – at his death. The ELCRK is one of the Southern Ohio Synod’s Global Companion Synods.
