Chambersburg, Pennsylvania
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God,
and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with us all.
Amen
Let us pray.
A brief silence is kept before the prayer.
Almighty God, gracious Lord, we thank you that your Holy Spirit renews the church in every age. Pour out your Holy Spirit on your faithful people. Keep them steadfast in your word, protect and comfort them in times of trial, defend them against all enemies of the gospel, and bestow on the church your saving peace, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Amen
