Heavenly Father,

We praise you for you are the source of life. We thank you for our church and the many blessings you have given us over the past 85 years. Open our hearts and minds to you and help us to be good stewards of the gifts you have given us. Help us to be like Mary, always faithful to you.

We especially pray for the success of our project, that we may step forward together in faith and recommit ourselves to your mission of love. May our effort, combined with your grace, allow us to continue bringing people to Christ for generations to come. AMEN.
