Our Prayer for Martha:
As a family of Christians, we proclaim our love for God, Jesus, and one another. As a family of Christians, we send out Martha on a journey of faith. As a family of Christians we know that time and distance do not separate us from love for one another in Christ. As a family of Christians, we pray, dear God, that you will bless Martha, Bryan, Jack and Anna and this congregation during this sabbatical, so that we all may grow in faith. We ask this in the name of Christ, who connects us all in the Holy Spirit. Amen.
