Loving God, we pray this week for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

Be with our church as it gathers in assembly in Orlando and direct it by your Holy Spirit.

Help the ELCA to be a church that reaches out to the world in love,

champions justice for the poor and oppressed,

announces the gospel in its words and song,

and remembers the unity for which Jesus prayed.

Guide our church, pastors and bishops, and all leaders,

with the peace and love that come only from you,

for the sake of your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Lord, in your mercy, OR Hear us, O God.

Hear our prayer. Your mercy is great.

and carry out your mission in the world with our hands.

Lord, in your mercy, OR Hear us, O God.

Hear our prayer. Your mercy is great.
