For Parish-Led Church Planting
Lord Christ, you equipped and sent forth your friends to bring the Good News of salvation from Jerusalem into Judea and all the world: Be present as we send forth these friends and companions in your service, that your Kingdom may come with power in the Church of the Holy Comforter; to the glory of your Name. Amen.
For Multicultural Church Planting
Eternal God, you have promised your salvation to all peoples, and have given us a vision of a great multitude around your throne, from all nations and tribes and languages: Help us as we bring this vision into our time and place; go with those who now undertake your work in Hyattsville, Maryland; and enable them to hear and to speak new words of hope and praise; through Jesus Christ, the living Word. Amen.
For the Church Planting Team
O Holy God, you raise up laborers for your harvest, sending them out as sowers of your Gospel and caretakers of new life: Bless these your servants in their work of planting and tending your church in Hyattsville, Maryland; equip them for service, enliven them with your joy, and help them remember and trust that it is you who will bring in the harvest; through Jesus Christ, the Savior of souls. Amen.
For Collaboration in Church Planting
O Holy God, you breathe your life-giving Spirit into the congregations of Incarnation and Holy Comforter, calling us to join together in mission for the spreading of the Gospel: Bless us as we begin this new journey; go with those whom you have raised up for this work; and enable us together to feed your people in Virginia, DC, and Maryland through the living presence of Jesus Christ our Savior, in whose power we set forth and in whose Name we pray. Amen.
