PRAYER

Heavenly Father, the Holy Trinity, You are a community of persons.

In Your mercy and grace, we gather for the 2015 and 2016 Strategic Planning. We come to you
today asking for your guidance, wisdom, and support as we begin this planning session. Give us
unity of heart and mind to consider the tasks and challenges before us today. Send Your Spirit of
Insight to open our imaginations to prepare for what lies ahead. Please continue to remind us that
all that we do here today, all that we accomplish, is for the pursuit of truth for the greater glory of
You, and for the service of humanity
May we trust and share our convictions with enthusiasm. May Your kingdom come, through Jesus,
the Christ, our Lord. AMEN
