Unison Prayer
Holy Spirit of God, who gathers the
church into one body, gathers us once again in your presence and strengthens the bonds of affection that hold your people
together. Bless us with grace to cooperate with one another in love and service that we may be the signs of your uniting
love to our fractured world. Teach us to show compassion for those in need, to face challenges with imagination, and
to counter disappointment with prayerful trust. In Christ's name we pray, saying Our Father... (the Lord's
Prayer using "debts").
