​
The suggested sentence prayer for this week:
Gracious God, you are the author and giver of all good things, especially newness of life through Jesus, your Son. Thank you! Spirit, increase in us true religion unpolluted, by the prejudicial values of the world. Bring to fruition in us your goodness and love for all. Amen.
