ELMC Prayer May 2008
We joyfully share this
month's offering from Kristen Glass,
Director for Young Adult Ministry
for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and member of the
Ecumenical Young Adult Ministries Team.
Holy God,
We celebrate partnership
between all of God's people in the world. We are blessed when we
come together as people of different ages and stages of faith in
order to live out God's call for us.
This month, we lift up to
You those who are involved in intergenerational
partnership of all kinds; we are
especially mindful of and give
You thanks for the gifts that young adults provide the
world and the church. We praise You
for people of all ages who live out their callings each day as
they connect with each other in life, service, and mission.
 We
are especially mindful of your mothering presence in the world.
Thank you, for mothers of all kinds, and for women who have
shaped and formed us. We
pray especially for those who are in need of comfort in times of
grief and celebrate the life of those who have gone before us.
We pray for the
faithful work carried out in meetings:
NCC Meetings:
May 19--NCC Executive Committee
Meeting; New York
May 20-21-
Christian-Jewish Dialogue Meeting, Boston, Mass.
May 21-23-
Interfaith Relations Commission Meeting, Boston, Mass.
May 30--Special Commission for the Just Rebuilding of the Gulf Coast We remember faithfully: May 1st--National Day of Prayer May 11th--Pentecost for the Western Church May 11th--Mother's Day May 18th--Trinity Sunday--for Sacred Conversations on Race May 26th--Memorial Day And we celebrate the work of colleagues, especially, Eileen Lindner, NCC Director of Organizational Development, as she leaves her post after a 32 year tenure at the council, that God will direct her in new paths of ministry. We also pray for our former ELMC colleague, Patrice Rosner, as she discerns her next call in ministry as her present call as the Executive Director of Churches Uniting in Christ comes to an end at the end of this month. All of these things, Lord, we pray in your holy and gracious name. Amen. Ecumenical Prayer Cycle:
