Prayers and Intercessions
Collect for the Trinity
Almighty God, you have revealed to your Church your eternal Being of
glorious majesty and perfect love as one God in Trinity of Persons: Give
us grace to continue steadfast in the confession of this faith, and
constant in our worship of you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; for you live
and reign, one God, now and forever. Amen.

A Collect for Guidance
Heavenly Father, in you we live and move and have our being: We humbly pray you so to guide and govern us by your Holy Spirit, that in all the cares and occupations of our life we may not forget you, but may remember that we are ever walking in your sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

For Creation
We give you thanks, most gracious God, for the beauty of earth and sky
and sea; for the richness of mountains, plains, and rivers; for the songs of
birds and the loveliness of flowers. We praise you for these good gifts,
and pray that we may safeguard them for our posterity. Grant that we
may continue to grow in our grateful enjoyment of your abundant
creation, to the honor and glory of your Name, now and forever. Amen

Glory to God whose power, working in us, can do infinitely more than
we can ask or imagine: Glory to him from generation to generation in
the Church, and in Christ Jesus forever and ever. Amen.     
Ephesians 3:20,21
