Prayers for People Request

Diocesan News & Publications

Episcopal congregations are being asked to include a special intention during the Prayers of the People on Sunday, January 16, 2011, recognizing the 40th anniversary of the ministry of the Episcopal Marriage Encounter organization.

An intention for the occasion might be:

"For Episcopal Marriage Encounter on this, the fortieth anniversary of the organization, that, by the grace of God, the ministry of strengthening Christian marriages may continue to reach into our Communities of Faith, bringing about renewed awareness of couple-love in the image of God. Continue to bless those who serve in this ministry and those who have benefited and will benefit from it."
