MAKE A GIFT

Our vestry began 2024 with a retreat to discern what God would like to be the focus for the year. It was agreed that attention should first be directed toward growing our parish and reaching out to the greater community of Glens Falls.

It has been said that God works in His own time and His own manner, and this was no exception.

A few short months after this retreat the vestry received news that the physical state of the bell tower on our beloved church was failing. Netting had to be installed to keep large pieces from raining down on passers by. The main entrance had to be cordoned off for weeks while this work was done.

Attention was redirected as the vestry engaged the services of a local engineering firm to ascertain the extent of decay.

A Prayer for our Capital Campaign

Gracious and loving God, we come before You with humble hearts, acknowledging the great task that lies ahead of us as a church community. The weight of this burden feels overwhelming, yet we know that nothing is too great for You. You are the Creator and Sustainer of all things, and we trust in Your infinite wisdom and provision. We ask, Lord, that You guide us through this journey with Your Holy Spirit, giving us the clarity, courage, and discernment to make decisions that align with Your will.

Help us to remember that this task is not ours to bear alone, but that You walk with us every step of the way. We lay these challenges at your feet, knowing that You are able to provide solutions beyond what we can imagine. Strengthen our faith, unite our congregation, and open doors that seem closed, so that we may move forward according to Your divine plan.

Lord, we pray for wisdom for our leaders and hearts of generosity within our community. Let us not be discouraged by the enormity of this challenge, but instead be inspired by Your grace and power. May we always seek to glorify You in our work, trusting that You will provide the means to fulfill this need in Your perfect timing.

In Jesus’ holy name, we pray. Amen.
